Experienced Science teacher and Head of Department specialising predominantly in Physics at GCSE and A-level. My resources are designed as complete and ready-to-go lessons for any science teacher but are particularly suited to NQTs or those who are not 100% confident at the material yet as explanations and activities are very clearly described and answers provided wherever possible. At KS4 and KS5, lessons prepare students for their exams by incorporating exam application throughout.

New AQA AS Physics Unit 5 Electricity - 5.1.4 Circuits

(0)
All my A-level lessons are detailed and tailored to guide students (and teachers) through the new physics A-level specification (and are referenced accordingly). Each has outlined at the start a clear progression through the topic and the relevant section from the specification. Each lesson contains a starter activity to develop problem-solving skills before students progress with new theory and practice. All powerpoints have practice questions with answers at the end. Practical activities feature throughout as this is key to students' understanding and appreciation of the subject. The high level of detail in these lessons will particularly suit those who are newer to teaching physics at A-level or whose subject knowledge may be a little rusty.

This document contains all the physics equations necessary for the new AQA Trilogy Science GCSE. It contains all equations with each value, symbol, unit and unit symbol outlined plus a column stating whether students need to learn it or if they are given it in the exams. The document is split with one topic per tab. Lines are shaded pale grey if that value has already come up earlier in the course so that students can build up a picture of familiarity as they go through.
