I’ve used these resources with my students for the teaching of “solids, liquids and gases” or also known as “states of matter” for GCSE physics. They lasted for more than 7 lessons (45min each period), which will differ depending on your set’s ability and the duration of each period.
I’ve tried to include as much detail as possible in the teaching notes. I’ve included answers to all the questions and tasks in these resources.
Enjoy!
This resource bundle includes:
1 powerpoint presentation (16 slides)
7 class handouts / worksheets
7 teaching notes for class handouts / worksheets
7 homework assignments
7 homework assignment mark schemes
Topics
State of matter - solids, liquids, gases, changing states
Specific heat capacity - calculation of SHC
Latent heat - temperature and changing states, cooling curve
Temperature - conversion between Kelvin and Celsius
Molecular kinetic theory - Brownian motion
Pressure and volume - Boyle’s law
Pressure and temperature - Gay-Lussac’s law
Here’s a game of Articulate for physics revision. I’ve included different coloured decks so that you can put students into different teams. There’s also a key definition sheet. I usually give my students the key definition sheet ahead of time, either for homework or in class (5 to 10 minutes), so that they can memorise the definitions in preparation for the game.
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’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
I have created some resources to cover the following points:
Describe how the eye works
Understand how to correct vision
To investigate what happens when light enters a medium
Describe how primary colours add to make secondary colours
Explain how filters and coloured materials subtract light
Draw ray diagrams to represent an image in a mirror
Draw ray diagrams to show light passing through a lens.
My collection of resources include:
26 slides PowerPoint presentation + embedded videos
3 worksheets/homework containing exam-style questions + markschemes
Revision/summary worksheet + answers
Refraction practical guide + worksheet
Topic test + markschemes
This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3 pupils (Yr 7 or 8).
