This bundle consists of 25 sections covering the entirety of the unit Forces and Motion in KS4 GCSE physics. Each section consists of a PDF document designed for pupils to use as a handout to be integrated into the lesson. There is a corresponding document for teachers - it consists of my own notes and solutions to questions and tasks. A typical layout of each section includes: setting learning objectives learning the theory examples small tasks exam-style questions This bundle is also great for revision and recapping key ideas for pupils in year 11 before their exams.

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
