A summary of the AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (Physics) "Magnetism and Electromagnetism" topic, presented in a student-friendly and attractive form. Students can use it as a concise revision checklist or as a "what to expect" introduction. Teachers can use it as a more useful starting point than the original specification for writing a medium-term plan of the scheme of work for this topic.
The order of the statements has been altered and the wording changed in places compared to the specification, to reflect how the concepts might be better taught and learnt. Required practicals and equations are emphasised and Higher Tier concepts are clearly highlighted.
A summary of the AQA GCSE Physics "Electricity" topic, presented in a student-friendly and attractive form. Students can use it as a concise revision checklist or as a "what to expect" introduction. Teachers can use it as a more useful starting point than the original specification for writing a medium-term plan of the scheme of work for this topic.
The order of the statements has been altered and the wording changed in places compared to the specification, to reflect how the concepts might be better taught and learnt. Required practicals and equations are emphasised and Higher Tier and Physics-only concepts are clearly highlighted.

This is a complete set of Physics revision checklists for handing out to students. They follow the AQA specification, but have been reworded, reordered and streamlined in places to make them more student-friendly than the specification document. Equations and required practicals are highlighted.
For AQA GCSE Physics.
6-minute video leading students through the derivation of the four Equations of Motion for objects moving with constant acceleration (SUVAT), starting from a velocity-time graph and then using the gradient and the area under the graph (and a little algebraic manipulation) to arrive at the set of four. Great for some flipped learning, a little revision or some consolidation.
A simple yet rigorous mathematical derivation of the centripetal acceleration formula, a=(v^2)/r, including that the direction is towards the centre of the circle. Use as a handout for A-level students who want to push themselves a little beyond the specification without getting out of their depth.
A PowerPoint presentation introducing A-level students to the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Covering the OCR Physics A specification, but physics is physics, so suitable for all courses!
One of a bundle of presentations on different aspects of nuclear physics.
Please note that TES’s software doesn’t always seem to generate accurate thumbnail images of PPTs with background images, so if the preview images look odd on your display they aren’t indicative of what the slides actually look like.
A PowerPoint presentation introducing A-level students to the concept of mass-energy equivalence, binding energy, fission and fusion. Following the OCR Physics A specification, but physics is physics, so suitable for all courses!

A PowerPoint to introduce students to the scale of atoms and the nucleus, including how to estimate the diameter of an atom from density measurements, how alpha particle scattering leads to the size of the nucleus, calculations of the density of nuclear material and some background to relative atomic mass and the atomic mass unit.
Aimed primarily at A-level students (and following the OCR Physics A specification), but could be used in parts with GCSE students also.

A collection of PowerPoint presentations covering A-level Nuclear Physics, primarily following the OCR Physics A specification and Chapters 24 and 26 of the Oxford A-level Physics for OCR A textbook.
A collection of six PowerPoint presentations for the Medical Physics unit of A-level OCR Physics A, matched to the Oxford OCR A-Level Physics A textbook.
Please note that the TES software that produces thumbnail images doesn’t always seem to handle background images in PPT slides very well. If the thumbnails look odd on your display, that is not how they really look!
