I’ve attached a worksheet of past exam questions on Rutherford’s alpha scattering experiment. Mark scheme is also included.
I also made a video illustrating Rutherford’s alpha scattering experiment. Feel free to check it out and subscribe to VTphysics if you’ve found it useful!
Enjoy!
Here’s a quick video to illustrate pressure difference. If you like this video, be sure to subscribe to VTphysics for more physics videos!
I’ve also included a short powerpoint presentation and a couple worksheets testing students’ knowledge of pressure difference calculation.
pressure difference = density x g x height
Here’s some exam style questions for the life cycle of stars with answers.
I’ve also linked to a video I made explaining the life cycle of stars. Hope you find it useful! And if you do, be sure to subscribe to VTphysics!

I used the resources in this bundle for 3 lessons, covering static electricity.
I’ve included in this bundle the following:
Powerpoints:
Intro to electricity
Static electricity
Dangers of static electricity
1 x question prompt for when students write down notes while watching videos in ‘Dangers of Static Electricity’
2 x worksheets with exam-style questions and mark schemes
Specification points covered:
Identify common materials which are electrical conductors or insulators, including metals and plastics.
Explain how positive and negative electrostatic charges are produced on materials by the loss and gain of electrons.
Know that there are forces of attraction between unlike charges and forces of repulsion between like charges.
Explain electrostatic phenomena in terms of the movement of electrons.
Explain the potential dangers of electrostatic charges, e.g. when fuelling aircraft and tankers.
I’ve also linked to some videos that I made which you might find interesting.
Hope you find this bundle useful!
Here are a few worksheets covering the theory of density and instruction for the core practical, finding density of irregular objects using eureka can.
I’ve created and run an escape room experience based on science/physics at my school. Check it out here, a step-by-step guide: https://vtphysics.wixsite.com/vtphysics
If you want the files to recreate this escape room, do drop me a message and I’ll send you the pdf and image files!
Enjoy!
