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.

Numeracy in Science - Big and Small Numbers

(0)
This is my PowerPoint that is geared specifically to help embed mathematical skills in a Science context. This one is concerning large and small numbers/standard form. I have created this to make it as simple to follow and build upon as possible, with the intention of making this accessible to students from all year groups if necessary. I have also created a worksheet specifically for this lesson. Any appropriate worksheet could be used in place however.

Resistors - Lesson 6 - AQA Physics Electricity topic 2016 Spec.

(0)
This is my lesson on resistors and how they work. I have also included all worksheets that I made to teach it. I also used an exam question, however as this is copyrighted, I have not included this. It will be easy enough to find a suitable replacement however. Lower ability classes will take longer on the fact sheet section, so you may need to adjust timings.

Measuring the Resistance of a piece of wire (Part 1) - Lesson 4 - AQA Physics Required Practical

(0)
This is the first part of a double lesson I used to teach the required practical on measuring resistance. You will need AQA practical worksheets as well as this which can be found on their website. This lesson itself may need to be a double lesson, depending on the ability of the class as I found that a demonstration of setting up was needed for lower ability classes first.

Radioactive Decay and Half Life

PowerPoint designed to be used for the old additional physics AQA Scheme of work, but still perfectly usable with any exam board for the content. It will need a worksheet or set of exam questions as I have used Exampro questions and thus are copyrighted.
Lesson 4 - Parallel Circuits - KS3 Electricity

Lesson 4 - Parallel Circuits - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This lesson covers parallel circuits and how they operate. included is a powerpoint, experiment worksheet and a learning mat. I liken parallel circuits to a motorway toll road to help visualise the concept first. The lesson is designed to fill around 50 mins, but could easily fill an hour with more experiment time. 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 5 - Current and Resistance - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is the first lesson in the SoW that needs an equation - it’s a required to remember equation for AQA physics. The lesson is a calculation heavy lesson and fistly models how to use power triangles and equations, then the students can attempt a differentiated demonstrate task. The most able students will likely need an extension task, so have one to hand. 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.

Stopping Distance - AQA KS4 Topic

(0)
This is a lesson I made to teach stopping distance. In it I also used an exam question on stopping distance, but as it is copyrighted I will not also upload this. Please source your own. The video starter is a powerful hook and the consolidate/plenary is also a good evaluation tool.

AC and DC - Lesson 11 - AQA Physics 2016 Spec

(0)
This is a power point covering the differences between AC and DC. You will need to add in an AQA worksheet on the topic for assessment and you will need an Oscilloscope, power pack and cell as well. I tried to link AC to a heart beat as this could be completely new content for a year 10 class. I have put suggestion on how to lead the starter in the comments of the lesson.

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.
