Having taught in the UK and abroad, I've experienced teaching many different syllabi including SABIS, AQA, WJEC and Cambridge. I develop resources to help teachers model key concepts, provide practice for students and include answers to help students self-assess their work. Planning for a 27 lesson week can be stressful to say the least, so I hope you find my resources useful. Thank you for choosing my lesson/s, I hope they enrich your teaching practice and make your life easier.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives:
Describe what forces do and how they are measured.
Identify ‘contact forces’ and ‘non-contact forces’.
Simply describe what ‘interaction pair’ means and identify interaction pairs in a simple situation.
Use a newton meter to measure the size of a force.
Includes diagrams, explanations, practical safety, practical method, practical results table, questions and answers.
PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives:
Define the mass of an object.
Measure mass of an object using a mass balance.
Includes questions, pictures, instructions and a practical in which the students have to use mass balances to measure the mass of up to 20 objects.
There are questions that ask students to add masses of objects together, substract masses and work out the difference.
The results table, questions and space for answers are on the worksheet.
This is for a primary/early secondary class.
If you could spare 5 minutes, please review this resource, to help my online presence grow! :)
PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives:
Measure the temperature of a substance.
Plot a graph of temperature vs. time.
In this investigation, students will compare how a large beaker of hot water and a small beaker of hot water cool down differently. They will form a research question, hypothesis, fill in table of results, plot line graphs and form a conclusion.
PowerPoint includes research question, hypothesis, method, graphs and conclusion.
