Here’s a game of Articulate for physics revision. I’ve included different coloured decks so that you can put students into different teams. There’s also a key definition sheet. I usually give my students the key definition sheet ahead of time, either for homework or in class (5 to 10 minutes), so that they can memorise the definitions in preparation for the game.

Topic: Forces in balance: Force diagrams 1. Identify reaction pairs using Newton’s third law of motion. 2. Draw force diagrams to represent forces acting on an object. Level: GCSE, key stage 4 I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS3 or KS4 science (specifically physics). Resources: 1. Powerpoint slides: powerpoint slides, compatible with a worksheet/handout. Slides contain information and tasks for pupils. 2. Notes (editable documents) for pupils: Use this as worksheet or handout. Pupils can take notes during lesson and complete tasks in this editable document. Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there's any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload more lessons following this topic. Check out some bundles I've put together. Enjoy!

I used the resources in this bundle for 3 lessons, covering static electricity. I’ve included in this bundle the following: Powerpoints: Intro to electricity Static electricity Dangers of static electricity 1 x question prompt for when students write down notes while watching videos in ‘Dangers of Static Electricity’ 2 x worksheets with exam-style questions and mark schemes Specification points covered: Identify common materials which are electrical conductors or insulators, including metals and plastics. Explain how positive and negative electrostatic charges are produced on materials by the loss and gain of electrons. Know that there are forces of attraction between unlike charges and forces of repulsion between like charges. Explain electrostatic phenomena in terms of the movement of electrons. Explain the potential dangers of electrostatic charges, e.g. when fuelling aircraft and tankers. I’ve also linked to some videos that I made which you might find interesting. Hope you find this bundle useful!

Here’s a collection of multiple choice questions (with answers) for Radioactivity, suitable for GCSE key stage 4 level science (physics). They are a mixture of exam-style MC questions and exam-style questions that I have modified into MC questions. I can easily upload these worksheets online and ask my students to either highlight their answers or type their answers into a word document. I’ve separated the MC questions into sections so that you can use them as worksheets or homework. There are 11 sections in total: structure of atoms isotopes stability alpha decay beta decay gamma radiation penetration power half-life dangers and application of radiation fusion/fission nuclear reactors

I’ve tried to include as much detail as possible in the teaching notes. I’ve included answers to all the questions and tasks in these resources. Enjoy! This resource bundle includes: 1 powerpoint presentation (16 slides) 7 class handouts / worksheets 7 teaching notes for class handouts / worksheets 7 homework assignments 7 homework assignment mark schemes Topics State of matter - solids, liquids, gases, changing states Specific heat capacity - calculation of SHC Latent heat - temperature and changing states, cooling curve Temperature - conversion between Kelvin and Celsius Molecular kinetic theory - Brownian motion Pressure and volume - Boyle’s law Pressure and temperature - Gay-Lussac’s law
