I am a KS3-4 Physics teacher currently teaching in the North West of England. In addition to physics, I am also pursuing an Astronomy GCSE for my school. I will only upload items that I am proud of and as such I hope you will agree are of a good quality.

Mains Electricity - Lesson 12 - AQA Physics 2016 Spec.

(0)
This is a power point designed to cover the information needed for the mains electricity topic of the new AQA specification. Included are the printouts for the info hunt and the worksheet. You will need to supplement this with another resource for assessing learning as I used exam questions that are copyrighted.

Static Charge - Lesson 17 - Electricity - AQA Physics 2016 Specification

(0)
This is my lesson on Static Charge for the new AQA Specification. I have included my worksheet that I made for this lesson, but you will need a textbook or some exam questions for the demonstrate section of the lesson or some other form of assessment. AQA will have a range o worksheets that you could use. Please be aware that this is very similar to one of my year 11 lessons I have, so if you did buy that one, no need to get this one as it's just that but a bit more stripped down! Should also me noted that this is an Physics only lesson. Not required for Combined award.

Electric Fields - Lesson 18 - Electricity - Physics AQA New Specification

(0)
This is a Physics only lesson in the Electricity topic of the new AQA Specification. It is a light lesson as there is not a lot of content that the students are required to know. Perhaps stick it together with static charge if you have hour lessons (mine are 50 mins). You will also need an appropriate AQA worksheet to go with this as I used copyrighted exam questions to assess.

This is a full set of resources needed to teach electrostatics. It's set up as a 50 minute lesson but it can easily be adapted to 1 hour. Designed with AQA specification in mind but can be applied to all electrostatics.
Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L1 - Types of Forces
PerigeeScienceResourcesPerigeeScienceResources

Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L1 - Types of Forces

(1)
This resource contains both a PowerPoint and an accompanying learning mat/worksheet for the activities in the lesson. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. This is lesson one in a SoW that is designed to "spiral" into AQA GCSE content by year 9. this is an introductory lesson into the types of forces and how do define them.

Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L10 - Pressure in Gases

(1)
This resource contains both a PowerPoint and an accompanying learning mat/worksheet for the activities in the lesson. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. This is lesson ten in a SoW that is designed to into AQA GCSE content by year 9. This lesson goes into the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and then defines a resultant force.

Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L8 - Pressure on Solids

(0)
This resource contains both a PowerPoint and an accompanying learning mat/worksheet for the activities in the lesson. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. It is split into two lessons, one for planning and one for the investigation and graph. This is lesson eight in a SoW that is designed to into AQA GCSE content by year 9. This lesson goes into the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and then defines a resultant force.
Lesson 11 -13 - Revision and Assessment - KS3 Electricity
PerigeeScienceResourcesPerigeeScienceResources

Lesson 11 -13 - Revision and Assessment - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is a big bundle of resources - a revision sheet for the whole Electricity topic, two assessments (H and F) with mark schemes, and a Personalised Question Level Analysis that you can complete, so the students can see exactly which questions/topic they struggled on most. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

Lesson 7-8 Plotting a Resistance Graph - KS3 Electricity
PerigeeScienceResourcesPerigeeScienceResources

Lesson 7-8 Plotting a Resistance Graph - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is designed to cover two lessons - lesson one, the class will use their results from the resistance of a wire experiment to attempt a graph of results on their own. You, as the teacher will then use the feedback generator provided to assess their graphs and provide detailed feedback (using a spreadsheet that can be printed out on sheet 2 of the excel spreadsheet). Lesson 2 would then comprise of the class reading their feedback and improving or extending their work, whichever is appropriate. This would also be a good point to mark the homework that comes free with this SoW. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

Nuclear Power - Location debate lesson - AQA Physics 2016 Spec - Energy Topic

(0)
This is a fully resourced lesson covering both the positives and negatives of nuclear power as a source of energy, but then goes deeper into the ethics and justifications for where we build them. The main purpose of this is to help develop more higher order thinking about the topic as groups will be tasked to evaluate and justify their choice of site and be able to articulate effective reasoning. There is also a third task of peer assessment - using a success criteria, the "site selection committee" are then put under scrutiny from the "HM Government" and they have to decide if they made a persuasive enough argument. It's all made up to be rather thought provoking and fun. Possibly more suited to higher ability in it's current form, but could easily be scaffolded for lower ability classes. I work in the North West, so unfortunately that's the map you've got! You could easily replace it with your own if you wish with no problems though.
Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L12 & 13 - Assessments and PQLA Lessons

Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L12 & 13 - Assessments and PQLA Lessons

(0)
These resources are designed to be used over two lessons - lesson 12 is the assessment (higher or lower) and lesson 13 is the Personal Question Level Analysis lesson (higher or lower). The PQLA is designed to allow students to look at their tests and RAG rate their ability and understanding of those questions. It also allows for next steps to be decided upon. These are the last two lessons in the Forces and Pressure topic. This topic is designed as an introduction to AQA Trilogy Physics later in school.
