This is a complete lesson on conservation of momentum that I prepared for a Y10 class. The concept of momentum was introduced and a couple of examples were worked through in the PPT with attention being paid to using the correct units. Students were then given several questions to work through on their own and these were then supported by worked answers on the PPT. A Newton’s cradle was used to introduce and demonstrate the idea of conservation of momentum. Several worked examples were then demonstrated on the PPT to demonstrate an expected answer layout. Includes a PowerPoint, Lesson Plan and Homework Questions and Answers. If you find this resource useful then it would be great if you could leave me a review.

A small powerpoint that I made to explain a step by step solution to an AQA GCSE Higher Paper question involving specific heat capacity. I wanted to model a clear and methodical approach. If you find this resource useful then it would be great if you could leave me a review.

This is a complete lesson on distance-time graphs that I prepared for a Y7 class. Covers typical speeds, calculating the mean for a set of walking speed results, plotting distance time on a graph and introducing the concept of gradient and its relation to speed. Includes a PowerPoint, Lesson Plan and Worksheet. If you find this resource useful then it would be great if you could leave me a review.

A worksheet on calculating Power aimed at KKS3/Y8. It starts with a description of the two equations that will be used (P = E/t and V= VI), introduces how to use equation triangles (which I don’t really like but I know that a lot of students find useful) and then finishes with a set of ten questions of increasing difficulty (with hints). Includes the answers (in red at the end)

This is a complete lesson on power and electrical appliances that I prepared for a Y10 class. Start off by reviewing previous lesson on series and parallel circuits with a worked example calculating current in a circuit. Wire wool and battery demo to keep interest up and link back to fuses. Power equations (E=Pt, E=QV and Q=It) are then recapped and a derivation of P=I2R is worked through. A worksheet with various Power problems is then worked through by the group. Includes a PowerPoint, Lesson Plan and WorkSheet. If you find this resource useful then it would be great if you could leave me a review.

This is a complete lesson on conservation of momentum and in paricular explosions that I prepared for a Y10 class. A follow on to a previous lesson on conservation of momentum. Worked examples on the PPT were used to reinforce the previous lesson. Momentum being conserved in explosions was then introduced and several worked examples were completed by the class. Finally the idea of rate of change of momentum was discussed and tied into force via Newton’s second law. Includes a PowerPoint and Lesson Plan. If you find this resource useful then it would be great if you could leave me a review.

This is a complete lesson introducing forces that I prepared for a Y7 class. Start by applying forces to a piece of paper, differentiating pushes and pulls, classifying actions as pushes, pulls or twists. Introducing contact and non-contact forces and moving on to force arrows. Then a non-contact force investigation using a balloon to pick up paper. Includes a PowerPoint and Lesson Plan.

This is a complete lesson on temperature gradients that I prepared for a Y9 class. Starter activity to discuss what is going to happen to my mug of coffee. The we revisit the Leslie Cube from a previous lesson but this time using a temperature probe as there had been some disagreement amongst students as to the temperature of various sides. The ideas behind temperature gradients and equilibrium are then introduced followed by some thinking exercises (penguins, cups of coffee in Summer and Winter). There are then some questions to work through recapping conduction, convection and radiation. Includes a PowerPoint, Lesson Plan and Worksheet. If you find this resource useful then it would be great if you could leave me a review.

This is a complete lesson on investigative skills that I prepared for a Y9 class. The class worked through the ideas behind key investigative skills i.e Making Predictions, Choosing Equipment, Types of Variables, Taking Readings, Calculating Averages, Plotting Graphs and Drawing Conclusions. Examples of each skill set were given in the PPT and the students then had several examples of their own to try from the workbook. Includes a PowerPoint, Lesson Plan and Workbook.

This is a bit specific but I wanted to prepare something for a couple of my students who were having trouble with the concept of calculating wavelength using the number of half-wavelengths in a standing wave on a length of string. It’s not a full lesson by any means but might be useful in explaining the concept o λ = 2L/n where L = length of string n = number of half-wavelengths on the string λ = wavelenght of standing wave
