Familiarize with using prefixes and conversion between units.

This powerpoint consists of 10 slides (around 1 to 1.5 hours of work for students), including step-by-step instruction for a practical. Learning objectives covered: Describe the Earth’s magnetic field. Describe the magnetic effect of a current. The practical activity is for pupils to build an electromagnet using an iron nail and power pack. Pupils test factors that affect the strength of the magnetic field strength. Summary questions and answers (appear on click) are included in the slides. Be sure to check out the bundle for more resources on magnetism. Enjoy!

This powerpoint consists of 18 slides (around 1 to 1.5 hours of work for students), including step-by-step instruction for a practical. Learning objectives covered: Explain what is meant by the poles of a magnet. Plot the magnetic field around a bar magnet. Describe magnetic materials and induced magnetism. The practical activity is for pupils to plot the magnetic field around a bar magnet using a compass. Summary questions and answers (appear on click) are included in the slides. Be sure to check out the bundle for more resources on magnetism. Enjoy!

This set of powerpoint presentations consists of 25 slides (around 1.5 to 2 hours of work for students). Students will learn to explain why the pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density. Afterwards, they will progress onto learning the physics of floating and sinking objects, and the factors that influence it. Enjoy!

11 question booklets with mark schemes I have organised questions (mostly exam style questions) by the topics in forces and motion. They come with mark schemes. Here are the topics: Speed, distance, and time Distance-time graphs Velocity and acceleration Velocity-time graphs Tangent on distance-time graphs Equations of motion Types of forces Scalars and vectors Resultant forces Newton’s second law Mass and weight

LO: To describe the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids, and gases and describe their changes of state. 16 slides for KS3 or KS4 students to learn about these topics: Particle model Solids Liquids Gases Evaporation Melting Boiling Sublimation Condensation Freezing Boiling temperature Melting temperature Suggested investigation: measuring boiling temperature of 3 different substances

Learning about speed, distance, and time using this fun cootie catcher templates. This is great as an engaging activity (plenary) in an introduction lesson to speed. There are two differentiated templates: Cootie catcher has questions and answers about units, making measurements, and equations. Cootie catcher has questions about units, making measurements, and equations. The students have to write in the answers in the cootie catcher. Enjoy!

**4 to 5 lessons ** Topic: Working scientifically / graphs / handling data / introduction to physics Level: key stage 3, key stage 4 Here is a bundle of resources that I used as an introduction to science, particularly physics, for my year 9 class. They will learn the necessary skills to plot a graph and handle experimental data. A practical lesson is included. They are great as “ice breaker” activities for new classes, as well. For example, there is a “little red riding hood” graph plotting activity in which I ask a student to tell the story of little red riding hood. The students then plot a graph of little red riding hood’s happiness throughout her journey. The instructions are deliberately arbitrary so that the class can compare and discuss the graphs that they have plotted afterwards, identifying their errors. Resources: 1. Powerpoint slides: 3 sets of powerpoint slides, each compatible with a set of worksheets. Slides contain information and tasks for pupils. 1 set of powerpoint slides for a practical lesson. 2. Notes (editable documents) for pupils: Use 3 sets of documents as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or 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. Enjoy!
