Aimed at advanced level students, this worksheet tests students use of the critical angle formula. It comes complete with answers. I shall say no more!
Get to grips with the velocity equation, different units and rearranging the equation. Packed with questions and a Boffin task to keep more able students busy, it comes complete with full solutions to all questions.
This resource comes packed with FIVE activities where students are required to investigate the rate of heat loss from an object. They investigate surface area, volume, starting temp, type of material and the surface the object is in contact with. Watching water cool has never been such fun and students have to act fast in order to get each activity complete. This practical investigation comes complete with a presentation to lead students, activity task cards and complete technicians notes. Requiring simple equipment available in every lab it is appropriate for secondary students of all ages. Aside from heat transfer, it also helps students get to grips with the pesky concept of independent, dependent and control variables.
You can never have enough suvat practice questions! If your students can complete all of these questions they can handle anything. A top class diagnostic intervention tool! All permutations and situations are covered. Practice makes perfect! It comes complete with an ANSWER sheet to facilitate self assessment. (No marking in other words). Also available as part of an Advanced level physics Equations of Motion Bundle! It comes in pdf and word versions so you can take full advantage of the materials and modify as necessary.
A fun packed presentation about Sankey diagrams, energy transfers and using Sankey diagrams to calculate efficiencies! This slide includes worked examples and questions galore. It comes complete with ANSWERS to all questions along with links to a free Science Geeks video, interactive revision resource and Kahoot Quiz! Literally hours of physics larks and laughter.
Efficiency is a key topic for students of all ages! Here is a slide packed with questions galore! It comes complete with worked examples and answers to all questions! From simple calculations to rearranging the formula - all abilities are catered for. Science Geeks - making efficiency resources so you don’t have to bother! How efficient can you get?

Students are now expected to memorise 20 Physics equations in their social media obsessed brains in order to succeed at GCSE nowadays. Twenty equations! Not only that, but they are expected to be able to apply them, rearrange them , spot devilish tricks with prefixes , provide answers to the correct number of significant figures and remember the units of the answer they are giving. Today’s youth are up against it. This resource comes with a double sided list of all the equations they need to learn and the units of all the quantities involved. There is a double sided worksheet to accompany this sheet packed with 38 Physics calculations covering ALL of the equations. It takes pupils from simple substitutions through magic triangles and rearranging all the way to complex extension tasks. It comes complete with fully worked out ANSWERS. Mastery of this is essential!
