I am an experienced Physics teacher who enjoys creating resource that engage students to do their best in Physics. I also create chemistry and Biology resources. I like active lessons with differentiation so all my resources are differentiated. All my resources are non-specialist friendly.

I have always been given an outstanding when using this lesson.
There are now two powerpoints one is GCSE 9-1 Higher and the other is lower demand, which is also suitable for KS3.
This includes :
1. starter ( differentiated) There is easier and higher demand.
2. Energy market place activity -active learning
3. Mini plenary - traffic light
4. Exam questions - and worksheet designed for students to follow the powerpoint.
slides : What is a system ( open/closed system) PHYSICS only!
5. group task on energy transfers.
6. Final plenary - exam questions with mark scheme 1 combined , 1 higher and one Level 9 Question.
7. Homework worksheets and other resources
8. seating plan template, timers, lesson plan, Scheme of work section on this lesson.
There are a lot of resources here, you can select the relevant ones for your class, and student ability,
I have differentiated for low, medium and higher ability, SEN, EAL.
NOTE some images contain flash images, if you have student with Epilepsy then please edit these slides.

Markscheme added now for peer marking.
GCSE 9-1 Physics and Combined Science.
Electricity is an abstract and challenging section of the curriculum. One of the ways to make students more confident is to get students to build circuits and draw them. The circuits become a familiar image.
This worksheets will get students to draw correct circuits using electrical symbols. You can also get students to build each circuit using electrical equipment or demo the circuits with LED and LDR.
I have added exam questions to help students apply their knowldge.
