This worksheet is for density calculations at GCSE. It contains a pupil worksheet with blanks and a teachers sheet with answers. The harder questions reference vernier callipers and micrometers which are in the density core practical.
This is a standard format for physics calculations, to be used in class to introduce and practise each formula. These have been honed on lower set pupils and allows differentiation in the following way:
Page 1 Notes and examples completed with the teacher
Page 2 Table, allows pupils to practise using the formula and manipulating it
Page 2 Table, higher order skills for stronger pupils include s.f. and prefixes
Page 2 Questions, these get harder as you work down the questions.
The expectation is that this activity can stop when some pupils have finished the final questions, as this will still have allowed all pupils to practise problem solving. The answers can be given so pupils can complete questions for revision at the end of the top if they didn’t complete all the questions in class.
There is a pdf version and a .docx version that is editable.

KS3 Physics 4 Electricity Resistance worksheets include defintions, formula practise, practical, topic test questions and scientific skills.
The 4 worksheets are editable .docx files and a pdf, they have teacher’s answers at the back with suggestions about how to support the pupils.
Resistance. This introduces the definition and the formula with practise questions.
Investigating how the resistance of playdough is affected by the dough’s length. This includes a plan with blanks and a circuit diagram to complete. It requires pupils to measure current and voltage, and then calculate the resistance. They draw a graph and form a conclusion and evaluation. There is a reference to a website with info about the practical.
3.Past paper style questions on resistance based on the practical they completed.
There is an optional scientific skills page at the back, introducing random error and systematic error and reproducible.
Answers are included for all worksheets, with hints about common pitfalls.

A great revision technique to go up a grade in Physics A Level is to memorise all the definitions. These are 1,2 or 3 mark wave definitions which will give your students the edge and it is especially useful for students who depend on their maths skills to solve problems, but it is difficult to derive an A Level standard definition during an exam!
The definitions are for:
frequency
period
wavelength
amplitude
longitudinal wave
transverse wave
coherent
superposition
phase
phase difference
path difference
Huygen’s construction
diffraction
standing wave
node
antinode
refraction
critical angle
total internal reflection
focal point
virtual image
real image
plane polarisation
ultrasound
infrasound
wavefront
intereference
This pdf is easy to make into a set of colourful flash cards, and having them around, as opposed to online, ensures students can use them for a quick starter, plenary or for a break during a long lesson.
The definitions are written to an A Level standard, double checked against mark schemes on past paper exams for the wave topic.

This worksheet introduces random errors, how to reduce them, and two timing practicals to practice reducing random errors. Works well in Physics Forces and Motion topic when measuring time to calculate speed.
The apparatus required for the two practicals are:
Measure time for an object to fall 1 m: class set of 1m rulers, objects to drop, timers, calculators
Measure the time for a pendulum or swing to oscillate (swing back and forth once): a pendulum or swing, timers, calculators.
Great short lesson activity and the interactive element keeps it interesting and relevant.
