Bundle
Physics Fundamentals Lesson Bundle
A set of three lessons designed to introduce key concepts in physics to students who are new to studying the subject. Originally designed for the Edexcel 9-1 specification, these lessons would support any curriculum that introduces these concepts.
Each lesson includes a starter activity, a plenary quiz, and accompanying lesson notes sheets for students. This bundle also includes differentiated worksheets on unit conversions, and standard form and significant figures.
Lessons are designed to be presented in the following order:
Lesson 1: SI Units and Unit Conversions
Lesson 2: Standard Form and Significant Figures
Lesson 3: Scalars and Vectors
The price of this bundle represents a 20% savings on the cost of purchasing each resource individually.
KS4 Worksheet: Significant figures and standard form
A differentiated worksheet to reinforce basic concepts around significant figures and standard form/scientific notation.
The worksheet consists of three sections: Part 1 asks students to identify the number of significant figures in a given number; Part 2 requires students to give the answers to basic calculations using the correct number of significant figures; and Part 3 has students practice writing numbers in standard form. Students are asked to complete a minimum number of questions in each section, and each question has been designated as Level 1 (Easy), Level 2 (Medium) or Level 3 (Challenging).
This resource complements my lesson on Standard Form and Significant Figures. Originally designed to support the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE specification (outcome 1.4), the worksheet would be suitable for use with any curriculum. It could be used as part of an introductory lesson on these concepts, or as a revision resource.
Included is the worksheet in PDF, Word and Pages format, along with an answer key in PDF format.
KS3 Project: Tobacco information advertisement
Assignment sheet and sample mark scheme for a research project on the effects of smoking tobacco on the respiratory system.
Students are asked to conduct research into chemicals found in tobacco smoke and the effects of three specified chemicals. They are then given the freedom to choose how they present their research, with the guideline that it should be structured as an informational advertisement (suggestions for possible formats are given).
Originally designed to support the KS3 Exploring Science program, this project would fit into any National Curriculum specification. It could also work in a PSHE or other health education program.
Includes the assignment sheet in PDF, Word and Pages format, and a PDF of the mark scheme I use, formatted 2-up on a page for ease of copying.
KS3 Biology MRS GREN worksheet
A fill-in-the-blanks worksheet on the seven "MRS GREN" life processes, with extension questions included. Designed for the new Exploring Science KS3 scheme of work (lesson 8Da in the three-year scheme).
Worksheet is in PDF format. Answer key is included as a separate PDF file.
