Energy changes due to temperature (specific heat capacity) Lesson plan and presentation

(0)
A lesson plan and presentation to cover the energy changes in a system and specific heat capacity part of the new GCSE (2016) Physics and AQA Trilogy specification. Refers to required practical 1 - a FREE worksheet for this is also available from me, made from the AQA required practical document. Introduces specific heat capacity and then provides time for students to reflect on required practical.

National and Global energy resources lesson presentation and plan

(0)
A complete lesson for completing section 4.1.3 National and global energy resources of the AQA (2016) specification for Physics and Trilogy. This is a web quest based lesson where students work in groups either as jigsaw/home groups or envoys or pairs to research about different energy resources. Covers renewable/non-renewable resources and their environmental impact.

GCSE Physics - Pendula lesson plan and presentation

(0)
Complete lesson plan and presentation for GCSE Physics pendula. This introduces the concept of increasing length, mass and drop height and the effect on period. Calculations involving period and frequency are included. It references the standard AQA practical for pendula wherre students investigate the effect of increasing the length, mas or drop height of the pendulum to see what effect it has on period.

GCSE Physics - static electricity lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A lesson plan and presentation introducing static electricity and the triboelectric effect. There are links to a couple of you tube videos that emphasise the points being made. This lesson also details a practical that students can do to experience the triboelectric effect for themselves.
Taboo Template

Taboo Template

(0)
A template for creating your own taboo game. All you have to do is fill in the topics on the cards and print them out. Students then describe the item at the top of the cards without using any of the words on the card.
GCSE Physics - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A detailed lesson plan and presentation about Electric fields. It takes the student through looking at magnetism as a non-contact force and then applying this knowledge to electrostatics whilst looking at similarities. They then progress to drawing field diagrams and writing explanations of electrostatic repulsion and the triboelectric effect. Thanks for looking. Don't forget to review if you buy!
Tarsia Puzzle template

Tarsia Puzzle template

(1)
This is a handy template for creating Tarsia Puzzles. They are triangular pieces that form a hexagon when connected up correctly. Write words/definitions on each piece so that they pair up, cut up the pieces and then students have to put the puzzle back together based on their knowledge. This does not do it for you automatically. This is a great tool for testing knowledge on a wide range of topics.
GCSE Science - Sketch Graphs

GCSE Science - Sketch Graphs

(0)
A worksheet to give practice of drawing sketch graphs for the new GCSE Sciences, Biology, CHemistry and Physics. This teaches students how to draw a sketch graph then there is practise for them to have a go at. Answers are included! There is also a YouTube video instructing them on how to draw a sketch graph - this could all be set for homework.

GCSE Physics - Work done calculations Foundation Tier

(0)
This worksheet is aimed at Foundation Tier students. The worksheet is scaffolded so they can get going quickly and make progress. The sheet progresses in challenge as indicated by circle, triangle, square and there is a super challenge question where they have to rearrange the formula first. This worksheet is suitable for GCSE Physics and GCSE Combined Science.

GCSE Physics - Force on a Spring and Elastic Potential Energy calculations

(0)
A scaffolded worksheet to help students with calculating the Force on a spring given the extension and the spring constant using F=ke. It then goes on to get students to calculate elastic potential energy in the same situations using E=0.5ke^2 This worksheet comes with an Answer sheet as well!

GCSE Combined Science - Physics - Paper 1 Mind Map

(0)
This has the main topic headings for the Combined Science Paper 1 grouped according to topic. Each required practical is highlighted. This can be used as a revision aid for students to work through and identify areas to work on or they can add to and improve the mind map with detail although it may want to be blown up onto A3 for this.
