Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence SETI - Aliens and the Drake Equation
This lesson is a favourite of mine. The topic may not be on an examined syllabus anymore but works as an excellent extension or gain time lesson. Contains a lot of big ideas but broken up with short activities. Differentiated question sheets are embedded in the powerpoint. Ofsted judged this lesson with my year 9s as"outstanding" in every area.
Parachuting Super Lesson: Animated Forces, Graphs & Momentum
A GCSE Physics summary revision lesson on parachuting. Covers forces, motion graphs, momentum & energy topics. The basics are handled with a card sort and forces quiz. There is lots here to extend more able students. This resource can be easily tailored to suit your class. Students are gripped by the skydiving/ parachuting context. There is plenty of material here which could easily be cropped to tailor to your own class.
Conway's Game of Life
Conway’s Game of Life is a cellular automaton, a zero player game in which the progress and future states are determined only by the start configuration.
The presentation contains an animated description of the game’s rules, animated gifs and weblinks. The topic is beyond the school syllabus - perhaps to stretch students in Maths/ Sciences/ Programming/ Philosophy.
I hope someone finds this handy - I couldn’t find an introductory presentation on this topic elsewhere.
Thanks.
Life Of A Star Card Sort AQA & OCR GCSE
A set of cards describing the stages in the life of a star. Can be printed as a card sort or done on computer(s) using the first slide. Answers are included. Appropriate for AQA P3 unit and OCR 21stC P7 unit.
Covalent Bonding Interactive and Differentiated with Molymods
A very carefully differentiated lesson on covalent bonding. Starts with a quiz and worked examples. The main task involves students creating molecules and drawing them showing the outer electrons. There are eleven differentiated molecules and answers are included for peer assessment. My class had sufficient molymod molecule kits to work individually.
Rutherford's Alpha Scattering Experiment
Atomic diagrams and the scattering diagram are enhanced with animations. A starter is included to test and recap learning on atomic symbols and isotopes. The presentation has a link to a suitable Youtube clip. The end of the presentation has questions (& answers) on the analysis of Rutherford’s experiment.
Ionic Bonding and Covalent Bonding Animated
An excellent resource aimed at higher GCSE level. Contains differentiated question sheets with answers. Covers electron shells, names of ionic compounds, animated diagrams for two ionic compounds and two covalent compounds. Contains a worksheet and animated presentation. Recommended.
Sampling Sound Waves - Pulse Code Modulation AS Physics
An A-level Physics lesson on sampling waves. Originally used for OCR Advancing Physics unit 3. Contains an iPad sampling task, a paper-based sampling activity, five pages worth of exam questions with hints and worked answers. The process of sampling is carefully explained using clear animated diagrams. Exam questions cover equations for bit rate rate and signal:noise ratio.

Four in a Row Interactive Quiz Game: Physics Bundle of Seven
A FREE exemplar Four in a Row game on Radioactivity is available to try before you buy.
Four in a Row is a game for your whiteboard. Nothing needs to be printed or prepared to play this game. The game-play is somewhere between noughts and crosses and blockbusters. Two teams alternate, competing to correctly answer questions on the grid. The board is interactive - clicking tiles changes the colours and also reveals answers.
Six games are presented here. They are designed primarily for use at GCSE level. The questions are fully editable.
