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.

This is a summary sheet designed for use with the Activate Science books for KS3. I have put the numbers where relevant to help the searching of the necessary content. I have also included an extension task sheet where students can create and share their own questions on the topic.
This is a revision worksheet that summarises the above topic from the Activate 2 Science books for KS3 Year 8. I have also included page numbers from those books where applicable to ease the finding of the content for the questions.
Also included is an extension task of writing new questions based on the content that the class can peer test with

These two resources are to be used as part of a Physics Forces topic as an assessment of sorts. The class are to answer the 6 mark question using the success criteria provided, then you will take these home to mark and assess a level achieved.
I have also provided my assessment feedback generator that I have made to tackle some common problems I encountered. You simply copy in your class list and assign them up to 3 WWWs and EBIs from the list (these can be changed if required). This will then generate a printout on the second sheet that you can give to the class to save you writing it all!

I have left this one populated with some responses that I used as an example - it was for a Hooke's Law 6 mark Question (this can be found packaged together with this generator)
This can be adapted to any topic or task and will drastically cut down on your writing during assessment and still provide in depth guidance!
This is simply a list (and by no means comprehensive) of demonstrations, experiments or other engaging ways of teaching physics topics. I made this list while on a Physics Enhancement Course prior to completing my PGCE. Could well be useful to non-specialists or primary teachers!
This is my KS3 presentation on indicators and how to complete the red cabbage experiment. Very simple to read and understand and is best suited for the lower end of year 7/8. It also goes into indicator paper and an experiment worksheet and assessment worksheet is included on the powerpoint.
This is an activity you can use as either a marked piece of work by you, or the students can peer or self assess it themselves.
The task is to answer a question using the success criteria provided. I have also included my example answers that I used to model how to answer this. I has the class use whiteboards to tell me what level the examples were before they wrote their own.
Does exactly what it says on the tin - 15 questions on separation techniques and pressure. You can question and extend while going through the answers.
This is a worksheet created specifically to help embed mathematical principles in a science context. The worksheet is tasking the students to make various things the subject and will help develop equation transformation skills.
This is bundled with an adjoining powerpoint if required.
This recource is a literacy based question on the title topic for the year 7 scheme of work followed by most boards. Included is a question sheet and the success criteria. The students could use the criteria to write an answer and the either the teacher or the students could assess the answer using the criteria and offer improvements.

This is my introductory lesson to the space topic for KS3. It broadly follows the Activate Science text book. I have added more information in however from the Astronomy GCSE - just interesting information and nothing too challenging.
Should provide some good questions from the class!
This resource contains two PowerPoints and accompanying learning mats/worksheets for the activities in the lessons. The learning mat is designed to be folded and glued into a book. It is split into two lessons, one for completing an application of knowledge task regarding a friction investigation, and the other is a feedback lesson where the class will use your input to evaluate and improve upon their work. Also included is a feedback generator - this will drastically decrease your marking workload as it contains pre-written feedback and crucially, how to improve the work.
This is lesson six and seven 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.
