Differentiated worksheet where students have to first identify definitions of latent heats of fusion and vaporisation and SHC, then identify whether energy will be given out or taken in in state changes. Finally differentiated equation grid where students practice using initially the SLH equation, then combining with the SHC equation to calculate energy changes for more complex systems. Suitable for any ability KS4.
KS4 electricity worksheet, differentiated calculations on power using P=VI, then gap-fill task regarding power transmission and step-up and step-down transformers. Heavily scaffolded, suitable for lower ability pupils.
Worksheet to be printed 2 to a side of A4; 4 simple questions for pupils to practice and demonstrate understanding of kinetic energy. Easy to assess and show progress.
Worksheet to accompany a computer room lesson / to complete as homework. Pupils create circuits using an online simulation, then measure P.D and current to identify circuit rules for themselves. Questions at the bottom test what they have learnt. A very good alternative to tricky (and often faulty) electricity practical work, or for a revision lesson.
An A4 revision sheet for AQA Physics P6 module, with various different activities to be completed on the sheet and in books. Activities have levels next to them for pupils to self-differentiate. Could be scaled up to A3.
A series of 4 lessons on the atom and charge (see accompanying worksheet), current, potential difference and resistance. Contains definitions, activities such as gap fills and definitions, ideas for practical activities and links to helpful simulations. Suitable for a lower ability KS3 group however could be adapted for higher groups.
Fully differentiated worksheet, with answers, for pupils to practice calculations using V=IR, V=E/Q and Q=It. Questions include rearranging the equation and converting units. Each question is worth a different number of points so students can challenge themselves. Perfect for a lesson or a homework.
Worksheet for series circuit rules for KS4 GCSE: current, PD and resistance questions. Start simple and get harder as the sheet progresses, gets students to check their own work by using different methods for calculations. Suitable for middle to higher ability KS4 classes but could be scaffolded for use with low sets. Answers are included for students to mark their own work.
Powerpoint containing whole class tasks as well as individual work on:
mass and weight
Newton’s laws
Balanced and unbalanced forces
Buoyancy, thrust and types of forces (contact and non-contact)
Force diagrams
Speed and acceleration
Distance time graphs
Speed time graphs
Density
Suitable for KS4 or KS5 revision.
Worksheet where students use the electromagnetic spectrum to identify properties and patterns of each type of wave, then practice wavespeed, wavelength and frequency calculations.
