I've used this powerpoint for both P1a GCSE Physics and BTEC L2 Applied Science classes. The powerpoint discusses the different types of energy, then leads into energy transformations and the law of conservation of energy.

A collection of slides to help students revise the particle physics topics in Unit 1 of AQA Physics A. They are a collection of my old university notes and materials I have developed on the following topics: The Particle Zoo (Hadrons, Leptons etc) Conservation Rules Quarks The Photoelectric Effect One version is a printable PDF version, one is suitable for IWBs Feedback is very welcome as I am recently qualfied teacher always looking to improve my resources (please be kind though!)

Images from the classic practical of looking at cheek cells and onion cells through a microscope. I use this after doing the practical (in case students can't get theirs to work) as a way of identifying key features of the cell. Aimed at KS3

A practical I do with my year 9 group (but could be adapted for GCSE). We make a basic variable resistor by shading in an area on grid paper using graphite pencils. Then see how resistance is affected with length. I originally got the idea from a video clip I saw on YouTube, the link is attached here. You will need to have digital multimeters to do this, that have a setting to measure resistance. NB: I'm a recently qualified teacher, so constructive comments on my resources and how they can be improved are really welcome! So please leave a comment if you used them! Thanks!

I use this with my middle to high ability year 10s when discussing moments. The powerpoint shows the flow of the lesson.

Powerpoint, with videos explaining what is resistance and how to combine resistor values. Has two YouTube videos on the ppt. Just click the video when the ppt in in fullscreen.

Quick worksheet on Acids and metals, including how to test for hydrogen gas. Dyslexic font.

If you are teaching the life cycle in stars in GCSE/IGCSE physics, GCSE Astronomy or the astrophysics options of IB or A Level. I have embedded videos from Crash Course Astronomy, in to the the life cycle of stars diagram.

Instructions on how to use a marshmallow and a syringe to demonstrate the principle of Boyle's Law (p1V1 = p2V1) Links to video instructions are on the sheet as well.

Quick set of research questions for KS3 students about magnetic fields, the aim is for them to produce a powerpoint or presentation on as many questions as possible.

Questions on focal length, and magnification of refracting telescopes.

Using the film (and book) 'The Martian' as a theme, this A3 sheet asks questions based on Newton's Law of Gravitation. Aimed at KS5 Students. Original publisher file attached, as well as a pdf in case you do not have Publisher installed.

Lesson slides, worksheet, and lesson activity on dispersion of light. Worksheet is as a pdf and docx

Designed for my school's &'activities week&';. Students should get into groups of 5 or so, and be given a space agency from a country participating in this years world cup. Students need to build a 'lander&' for their country that will allow an egg to survive &';re entry', as well as produce a poster/presentation on the history/achievements of their countries space agency. Students should spend around 1 hour to 1.5 hours on this, including testing time for the lander

Designed for IB Design Technology, but useful for GCSE Design Technology Systems and Control, Electronics, A Level Electronics. Worksheets to revise the basics of electricity. definitions, units, Ohm's law, resistance, resistivity, capacitors, alternating current, power...

Lesson slides, worksheet, and lesson activity on dispersion of light. Worksheet is as a pdf and docx

Questions on focal length, and magnification of refracting telescopes.

The first three lesson slides from my IB physics lessons on Energy Power and Climate Change. Including the IB Style questions I ask the students at the end of each lesson, and a research task on energy sources.

I use this with a middle to high ability year 9 group, but could be used with low ability KS4 group. Activity that explains the key points of what is free fall, and also how we work out weight using g. I find the activity lasts around an hour or so. I am always looking to improve my resources, so please leave feedback! Thanks!
