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

Static Electricity GCSE Physics KS4 (Powerpoints + Worksheets)

(0)
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!

**4 to 5 lessons ** Topic: Working scientifically / graphs / handling data / introduction to physics Level: key stage 3, key stage 4 Here is a bundle of resources that I used as an introduction to science, particularly physics, for my year 9 class. They will learn the necessary skills to plot a graph and handle experimental data. A practical lesson is included. They are great as “ice breaker” activities for new classes, as well. For example, there is a “little red riding hood” graph plotting activity in which I ask a student to tell the story of little red riding hood. The students then plot a graph of little red riding hood’s happiness throughout her journey. The instructions are deliberately arbitrary so that the class can compare and discuss the graphs that they have plotted afterwards, identifying their errors. Resources: 1. Powerpoint slides: 3 sets of powerpoint slides, each compatible with a set of worksheets. Slides contain information and tasks for pupils. 1 set of powerpoint slides for a practical lesson. 2. Notes (editable documents) for pupils: Use 3 sets of documents as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or complete tasks in this editable document. 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. Enjoy!

GCSE Physics Forces and Motion Bundle (7 topics)

(0)
This bundle consists of 7 sections covering the first 7 topics in 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. Below are the individual sections that I’ve divided the unit of Forces and Motion into. I hope that this resource is helpful and saves you plenty of time! (If you want the entire Forces and Motion bundle consisting 25 sections for the whole unit, be sure to check out this bundle: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/forces-and-motion-whole-unit-gcse-physics-11947315 ) Movement and position 1 Speed, distance, and time 2 Speed and velocity 3 Distance-time graphs 4 Velocity and acceleration 5 Velocity-time graphs 6 Tangent on distance-time graphs 7 Non-uniform acceleration
