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.

AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 8 - Ohm's law

(0)
In lesson 8 of the electricity unit students learn about Ohm’s law by discovering the law through experiment. As well as developing their practical skills, there are questions for them to practice using the equations, both on the slides and on a separate worksheet. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start. Updated 20/05/18 with additional method.

New AQA AS Physics Unit 5 Electricity - all lesson powerpoints and required practical support
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

New AQA AS Physics Unit 5 Electricity - all lesson powerpoints and required practical support

6 Resources
All my A-level lessons are detailed and tailored to guide students (and teachers) through the new AQA 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.

Year 7 Forces lesson 4 and 5 - Investigating friction
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

Year 7 Forces lesson 4 and 5 - Investigating friction

(0)
Lesson 4 and 5 in year 7 forces topic investigating friction. There are two lessons, the first with a practical investigating the effect of changing mass on the amount of force needed to overcome friction and move a block. The second lesson has students draw a graph of their results and complete a write up of their experiment. There is also a starter worksheet where students decide whether each of the factors on the board either increase or decrease drag forces and a question worksheet to consolidate learning that could be done at the end of the lesson or given as homework.
