I am a KS3-4 Physics teacher currently teaching in the North West of England. In addition to physics, I am also pursuing an Astronomy GCSE for my school. I will only upload items that I am proud of and as such I hope you will agree are of a good quality.

Electric Fields - Lesson 18 - Electricity - Physics AQA New Specification

(0)
This is a Physics only lesson in the Electricity topic of the new AQA Specification. It is a light lesson as there is not a lot of content that the students are required to know. Perhaps stick it together with static charge if you have hour lessons (mine are 50 mins). You will also need an appropriate AQA worksheet to go with this as I used copyrighted exam questions to assess.

Numeracy in Science - Drawing Tables

(0)
This is a numeracy/skills based lesson designed to train students into the proper ways of creating and labelling a good scientific table. The main activity involves having the class create an extensive table for an experiment (you may choose to complete the experiment if you wish!) and they can PASA their progress on these skills at the end.

This resource contains both a PowerPoint and an accompanying learning mat/worksheet for the activities in the lesson. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. It is split into two lessons, one for planning and one for the investigation and graph. This is lesson eight in a SoW that is designed to into AQA GCSE content by year 9. This lesson goes into the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and then defines a resultant force.

Forces and Pressure KS3 Physics Topic - L11 - Revision of Topic

(0)
These are a set of resources you could use to revise the content of this unit. I have provided a standard revision sheet and mind map, as well as a Kagan structured "find someone who" activity on forces and a lower ability types of forces quiz. This is lesson two in a SoW that is designed to into AQA GCSE content by year 9. This lesson goes into the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces and then defines a resultant force.
Lesson 5 - Current and Resistance - KS3 Electricity
PerigeeScienceResourcesPerigeeScienceResources

Lesson 5 - Current and Resistance - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is the first lesson in the SoW that needs an equation - it’s a required to remember equation for AQA physics. The lesson is a calculation heavy lesson and fistly models how to use power triangles and equations, then the students can attempt a differentiated demonstrate task. The most able students will likely need an extension task, so have one to hand. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.
Lesson 6 - Resistance of a Wire - KS3 Electricity

Lesson 6 - Resistance of a Wire - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is an experiment brought down from GCSE to KS3 so that the students can have an early taste of a required practical. The class will have the majority of the lesson to complete the lengthy experiment after you have shown the modelling slides and demonstrated the experiment yourself. This lesson is followed up with a large mid-topic assessment piece. The lesson can be done in 50 mins, but could over run. Included are the ppt and learning mat. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

Lesson 9 - Electrostatics - KS3 Electricity

(0)
This is a fun lesson! You will need to book a Van Der Graaf generator for the demonstrate phase of the lesson and you will need balloons (and ideally, a balloon pump so that no moisture enters the balloon for maximum effect). The ppt is heavily animated (it took a long time to make) but does get the concept across well. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

(0)
This is a big bundle of resources - a revision sheet for the whole Electricity topic, two assessments (H and F) with mark schemes, and a Personalised Question Level Analysis that you can complete, so the students can see exactly which questions/topic they struggled on most. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

Lesson 10 - Charge and Current - KS3 Electricity

(0)
An equation heavy lesson using the Q = It equation and concept. Again, I emphasise how to use the equation a lot in this lesson. Your most able classes will likely also need an extension task with this lesson, especially if you have 1 hour lessons. Included are the ppt and the learning mat for the lesson. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

11 Resources
This bundle is an entire 13 lesson topic, complete with resources and activities for KS3 Electricity. Some of the items are free if you would like to see them before buying. For the whole topic, the price is £15, making each lesson cost around £1.20, but you also get assessments, a PQLA, a homework and a feedback generator. This SoW was taught this year at my school and was well received by the students.
