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.

This lesson bundle follows and covers the complete new AQA specification for Combined Science: Trilogy - Physics - Electricity unit. (The new combined science GCSE replaces the old double award core and additonal science units.)
This bundle now contains 14 lessons with their accompanying resources for the Electricity unit from the Physics section of the new AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy.
Each lesson has engaging ‘bell work’ as students settle, clearly defined learning objectives, tasks to promote interest and consolidate learning of the lesson material and plenary slides. Most lessons also contain a practical activity to develop students’ skills and confidence using equipment and to give students the opportunity to discover the circuit rules for themselves before learning the theory, although this can also be flipped to instead test the theory in practice once learnt.
The lessons and resources included are:
L1 - Circuit components, series and parallel circuits;
L2 - Current;
L3 - Charge;
L4 - Potential difference;
L5 - Power;
L6 - Resistance;
L7 - Required practical 15 - Resistance with wire length;
L8 - Ohm’s law;
L9 - Power and resistance;
L10 - Resistors - Thermistors and LDRs;
L11 - Required practical 16 - Resistors in series and parallel;
L12 - The National Grid;
L13 - Types of current - AC DC and the plug;
L14 - The plug and electrical safety in the home

In lesson 3 of the Magnetism and Electromagnetism unit (AQA specification 4.7.2.2), students recap what they learned about building an electromagnet in lesson 2 with an exam Q and go onto learn about the Motor Effect. Once they have mastered Fleming’s left hand rule through a number of application questions, they go on to learn and apply the equation F=BIL through a number of differentiated calculation questions.
All lesson powerpoints begin with a question/task to engage students as soon as they enter the classroom, clearly defined learning objectives and opportunity to recall and apply to the exam what they have learned throughout.
