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.

Year 7 Metals lesson 6 - Reacting metals with oxygen and Yield
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

Year 7 Metals lesson 6 - Reacting metals with oxygen and Yield

(1)
Lesson 6 in the year 7 metals topic looking at reacting metals with oxygen. Students complete a practical where they burn magnesium in air and compare the mass of the magnesium before burning to the mass of magnesium oxide after the reaction. Students write a word equation for the reaction and use this to explain why the mass of the magnesium has increased after the burning.

QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

Year 7 Metals lesson 7 - Testing for metal ions

(0)
Lesson 7 in the year 7 metals topic looking at testing samples to identify metal ions. Students complete flame tests and precipitate tests to identify different metal ion samples. they also learn and discuss applications of these reactions e.g. fireworks.
AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 6 - Resistance
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 6 - Resistance

(0)
In lesson 6 of the electricity unit students discover the rules of resistance in series and parallel circuits while developing their practical skills. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.
AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 4 - Potential difference
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 4 - Potential difference

(0)
In lesson 4 of the electricity unit students discover the rules for potential difference in both series and parallel circuits while developing their practical skills. They then complete a worksheet to consolidate their understanding of both current and potential difference rules in series and parallel circuits. Answers are included in the slides. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.
AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 5 - Power
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 5 - Power

(0)
In lesson 5 of the electricity unit students learn about the relationship between electrical power, current and voltage. The lesson comes with two worksheets, one recapping current and voltage in series and parallel and the other on power, current and voltage. All answers are on the slides. There is also a slide for a practical activity to calculate the power of an electric motor through measurign the current and voltage. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.
AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 11 - Required practical 16 - Resistance in series and parallel
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 11 - Required practical 16 - Resistance in series and parallel

(0)
In lesson 11 of the electricity unit students complete the required practical investigating the effect on the total resistance of placing two uniform resistors in a series versus parallel arrangement. The lesson power point contains slides with tasks covering the full investigation from a hypothesis and risk assessment, experimental set up and method, example results if needed, and follow up questions. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 10 - Resistors - 1. Thermistors and 2. LDRs

(0)
In lesson 10 of the electricity unit students learn about different types of variable resistor - thermistors and LDRs. The powerpoint is split into two lessons both with a practical activity and with learning objectives, starter and plenary slides for each. However, you could do the two lessons in one if you omitted either or both of the practical activities. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.
AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 9 - Power and Resistance
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

AQA New GCSE Electricity - Lesson 9 - Power and Resistance

(0)
In lesson 9 of the electricity unit students learn about the relationship between power and resistance through practical investigation. They then use their knowledge of previously learnt equations to figure out the equation relating power, current and resistance. There are examples and practice questions in the slides to consolidate students' understanding. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.
Year 7 Cells lesson 5 - Specialised cells
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

Year 7 Cells lesson 5 - Specialised cells

(0)
Lesson 5 in year 7 cells topic looking at specialised cells. Students build on their learning of standard cell features to think about how cells have different specialisations for different functions. Lesson ppt includes a worksheet for students to complete using information slides which you can put around the classroom.
Year 7 Cells lesson 6 - Cell division
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

Year 7 Cells lesson 6 - Cell division

(0)
Lesson 6 in year 7 cells topic looking at how and why cells divide. Students learn about the two forms of cell division, what each is for, where each occurs inthe body and why they need to be different. Ppt includes links to videos you may wish to use to go into more detail but they are geared to a slightly higher level than KS3.
Year 7 Cells lesson 7 - Organs and organ systems
QuasiEntropistQuasiEntropist

Year 7 Cells lesson 7 - Organs and organ systems

(0)
Lesson 7 in year 7 cells topic looking at how structures come together from the sub-cellular level to form an entire organism. Students identify organs from different organ systems of the human body, then focus on the digestive system. There are info cards on the different parts of the digestive system to put around the room as well as a premade template for students to complete using this information (both included in ppt). Also attached is a worksheet for students to label on the key parts of the digestive system.

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.
