"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"-Albert Einstein. These wise words from the worl'd greatest physicist has long inspired my lesson plans, ensuring that concepts are made as simple as possible without dumbing down. All paid for lessons follow the same design, all lessons are clearly differentiated, with plenty of peer assessment and self assessment to reduce teacher workload and are fun and engaging for student and teacher alike.

CSI Challenge: Blood Drops, ISA preparation.

CSI Challenge: Blood Drops, ISA preparation.

(0)
This was designed as an end of year, fun but also useful lesson. Each student was given a booklet to work through in pairs, all they needed was some fake blood (which I made by mixing red and brown paint with water), a pipette a metre ruler and a few sheets of A3 paper. After the practical there are some ISA style questions, I told my year 9s we were going to be using this as an indicator for where to start with them during next year's ISA lessons.

Classifying Particles

(0)
Fundamental Particles. This worksheet is to help AS level students get their heads around the different types of particles studied to to be used to refer back to throughout the topic. It should also be useful for revision.

Feynman Diagrams (Particulary AQA A)

(0)
This worksheet allows pupils to learn the six specific feynman diagrams required by the AQA A syllabus, but could also be used by other exam boards for practise. This will also be good for revision.

Whose is this Habitat?

(0)
A quick worksheet, good to use after a lesson on Habitats as the starter for the next lesson or a plenary to see how much they remember or how well they understand the basics of habitats.
Compound Formulas

Compound Formulas

(0)
Designed for low ability students, but with an extension task that could be used for higher students. This sheet allows students to visualize the molecule before trying to work out the formula for that compound.

How Sound Travels

(0)
This worksheet covers the 'bell in the vacuum' experiment and looks at why sound travels at different speeds in different mediums. Mainly aimed for a low ability group.
Current Wars

Current Wars

(0)
A worksheet based AC and DC currents, using the history of science talking about Edison and Telsa as the starting point. This was used for low ability pupils.

My Vertebrate's Habitat

(0)
I allow my students around 30-40 minutes to do this in pairs. Following on from the previous worksheet where the pupils had to design their own vertebrate and label it, the pupils now have to design a habitat for their vertebrate, the boxes around the edge should be filled with labels explaining why they have put the things there. I got my pupils to do this in pairs and then made a display along with the earlier worksheet called 'Year 7's Fantasy Zoo'. I would recomend blowing this up to A3 size on the photocopier.
Mechanics Easter Egg Hunt

Mechanics Easter Egg Hunt

(0)
A fun revision lesson covering all of the equations students need to know for the Mechanics topic for AQA year 12 physics. Each easter egg has a question and an answer to a previous question on it. Students work in teams to solve the question to help them find the next egg. With over 35 questions, some easy some difficult it should take most A-level classes at least 1 hour to complete this. For a bit of extra fun, try turning it into a competition, where teams get a mini egg for each correctly solved question at the end of the lesson!

Santa's Mechanics Mix-Up

(0)
A fun Christmas revision lesson. Santa’s elves have mixed up all the presents! Each present has an a-level physics mechanics maths based question on it. Some questions are easy, some questions are difficult. Can you students match the present to the right house in time for Christmas Eve? There are 24 questions complete with a teacher’s guide containing all answers. Students could quite easily spend over an hour solving these puzzles, whilst practicing all the equations they have learnt for year 12 mechanics. Make the last lesson of term a useful but also fun lesson for your students!

Christmas Science Skills

(0)
A fun Christmas lesson covering the basics of means and ranges. The lesson has an introduction where the students help an elf monitor the reindeer training program before completing their own experiment to put into practice the skills they have just learned. A perfect way to have a fun Christmas lesson whilst ensuring your students still gain curriculum knowledge in the lesson. for the lesson you will need: Balloons, String, straws. stopwatches, clamp stands (or something else to tie the string to)
Physics Angels

Physics Angels

(0)
Make your own physics decorations for your tree or classroom! A fun Christmas activity (although could be used at other times of the year), the “angels” of physics come with an equation they are closely associated with, students can then get creative by adding their own wings. I will also be setting my students the task of writing a biography about their “angel” over the Christmas break.

Core Physics Extended Writing (QWC questions AQA P1)

(0)
This covers the QWC questions given by AQA for core physics over the past few years. Each question has a answer preparation section, a keywords section and a space for the students answer and a mark scheme. There is a PowerPoint with videos for most of the questions and hints on the questions to go on the board. Designed to be used by non-specialists in the run up to the physics exam. Please give any feedback on how it could be improved.
