BASE UNITS? DERIVED UNITS? Pesky prefixes! It is amazing how much trouble these essential concepts in Physics cause for our fledgling advanced level students. This power point leads them gently through it and tests their knowledge to the limit as the challenges get progressively harder. Great for new students or as a revision resource for older students before their final exams.
Ideal for use in normal lessons - or even more use if you need a to set a quick cover lesson due to illness or general teaching everyday stress related nightmare! Energy resources! The worksheet starts with simpler questions and activities in each section before moving on to more demanding and challenging activities later on. It also comes with free video links to our Science Geeks youtube videos where many of the issues are explored at different energy resources investigated! Plenty to fill one or even two lessons! Enjoy!
Watch kettles boil! Live! This set of resources requires students to investigate a range of different kettles and calculate their efficiency. Which kettle is the most efficient? What is the science behind their design features? There are TWO versions of the DOUBLE SIDED WORKSHEET. The most challenging version gives students some useful information and then the rest is up to them! There is also a HELP sheet with step by step instructions to help weaker students carry out the investigation. Packed with extension tasks and questions designed to make students think, this activity can be ran over several lessons! Just remember to provide a variety of different shapes, sizes and ages of kettles. ideal for KS3 or GCSE or even ALEVEL! (TOP TIP: To save time, students can be required to investigate one kettle each and then pool their results.)
The science geeks present a two sided worksheet on the pesky topic of redshift and the Big Bang! This DOUBLE SIDED worksheet contains a range of questions to suit all abilities. There is also an accompanying 2 minute Science Geeks YouTube video available that provides students (and teachers) with all the basic knowledge they need to know.
The Science Geeks challenge your knowledge of acceleration in this fiendishly challenging worksheet!
After getting you up to speed gently, the questions increase in difficulty.
The worksheet comes as a pdf file and a word file for your editing pleasure (or just in case Jeremy Clarkson bites the dust)
There is also a link to an accompanying 2 minute Science Geeks YouTube video that provides students (and teachers) with all the basic knowledge they need to know.
The Science Geeks present a powerful worksheet packed with questions and plenty of work for your students to get through. (See what I did there? I’ll get my coat…).

Those pesky, confusing distance- time graphs! The bane of all Physics teachers everywhere! Here is a nice worksheet packed with questions and accessible for all abilities of students. There is even an answer sheet! Ideal for home works, AFL or exam revision, this worksheet will allow you to assess all students understanding of this important forces and motion content. Please also look at the "Science Geeks" video at this address to aid student learning https://youtu.be/4pDGVOWgheA
Nasty quantum physics, messing up the whole wave model and confusing everyone. Have no fear though - this worksheet deals with the photoelectric effect, keeps it simple and shows just how elegant and sensible quantum theory can be. Where the wave model fails, the idea of photons comes to the fore. This DOUBLE SIDED worksheet tests student���s understanding of all aspects of this difficult concept from explaining it in extended responses to dealing with Einstein’s formula and using joules and electron volts. Complete with DETAILED ANSWERS for all questions, this worksheet will keep even the most annoying, I mean able, students occupied and enthralled. Science Geeks - helping Physics teachers everywhere. Enjoy.
Advance level Physics teachers rejoice! Here is a double sided worksheet packed with newtonian dynamics problems. It starts off with some simple questions before taxing students’ brains with situations involving inclined planes, mad scientists in lifts (elevators to our north american chums) and runaway hospital beds.
It is all rounded off with a fiendishly hard extension task to keep even your brightest of students off your backs, I mean engaged. Complete with FULLY SOLVED ANSWERS, you don’t even have to bother marking it yourself. It’s tough being a teacher in the modern world. Ease your work load whilst ensuring student progress. Science Geeks, here to help! Enjoy!
Y.O.Y.O. lessons - Scientific investigations designed to develop problem solving skills and make independent learners of our spoon fed students! In this one they investigate the first law of reflection! Students must complete the set task without any help whatsoever from their teachers! They have only the worksheet to help them! They can only ask you a question if they use a joker card! (They have three of them - one specific question per Joker). Complete it without using jokers and win rewards!
