This bundle consists of 25 sections covering the entirety of the unit Forces and Motion in KS4 GCSE physics.
Each section consists of a PDF document designed for pupils to use as a handout to be integrated into the lesson. There is a corresponding document for teachers - it consists of my own notes and solutions to questions and tasks.
A typical layout of each section includes:
setting learning objectives
learning the theory
examples
small tasks
exam-style questions
This bundle is also great for revision and recapping key ideas for pupils in year 11 before their exams.

Here’s a collection of multiple choice questions (with answers) for Radioactivity, suitable for GCSE key stage 4 level science (physics).
They are a mixture of exam-style MC questions and exam-style questions that I have modified into MC questions. I can easily upload these worksheets online and ask my students to either highlight their answers or type their answers into a word document.
I’ve separated the MC questions into sections so that you can use them as worksheets or homework.
There are 11 sections in total:
structure of atoms
isotopes
stability
alpha decay
beta decay
gamma radiation
penetration power
half-life
dangers and application of radiation
fusion/fission
nuclear reactors
Level: GCSE, key stage 4

It works well as a first lesson in science or physics GCSE.
Topic:
Forces in balance: Newton's first law
1. Apply Newton’s first law to a stationary object.
2. Apply Newton’s first law to a moving object.
Level: GCSE, key stage 4
I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS3 or KS4 science (specifically physics).
Resources:
1. Powerpoint slides: powerpoint slides, compatible with a worksheet/handout. Slides contain information and tasks for pupils.
2. Notes (editable documents) for pupils: Use this as worksheet or handout. Pupils can take notes during lesson and complete tasks in this editable document. Contains 7 exam practice questions.
3. Mark scheme for 7 exam practice questions.
Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there's any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload more lessons following this topic. Check out some bundles I've put together.

L.O. To describe how different organisms co-exist and to identify niches within an ecosystem.
Perfect for key stage 3.
Notes are written for each slide in the powerpoint.
Solutions to tasks and questions are also included in the powerpoint so that pupils can mark their own work.
There are 24 slides in total, 6 of which are revision slides for the unit of “ecosystem”.

Here's a resource for ks3 and ks4 on the topic of Recycling. The 23 slides cover the theory and contain tasks, prompts for class discussions, and activities for pupils. There are 2 case studies at the end where pupils have to do some calculations related to recycling.
I've also included my own lesson plan / notes that I wrote in preparation for teaching this lesson.
Enjoy!
This resource is useful for pupils learning changing states in ks4. Here's the structure of the lesson:

Here’s a worksheet for projectile motion in A Level physics. I’ve also included a video that explains the graphs of motion for an object thrown upwards and experiences free fall.
Here’s a handout that I give my physics students for when we learn about the difference between stationary waves and progressive waves.
I’ve also included two videos to go along with this:
Video to explain the theory
Video to show you how to carry out an experiment to find the speed of light using the idea of nodes and anti-nodes in standing waves - I had a lot of fun doing this!
Enjoy!
