These lessons are especially written with girls in mind. I tried to use lots of visuals to allow students to make an emotional connection to learning. Especially in starters I attempted to show how Physics relates to everyday life. All lessons contain key words, many translated into Korean and Chinese. Complete bundle available.

Powerpoint to introduce the ideas behind the new IA in Physics. The rubric is explained and students are introduced to how to reach the highest band level. This resource contains a checklist to help students to get the highest possible marks. The IA should be introduced around Christmas of year 1, leading to students writing a first draft over the Summer holiday.
