Here are a few worksheets covering the theory of density and instruction for the core practical, finding density of irregular objects using eureka can.
Here’s a booklet of multiple choice circular motion questions from past exam papers. I’ve also attached the answers.
I’ve also linked to a youtube video that explains the forces involved in vertical circular motion. It talks about forces to do with centripetal force. Hope you enjoy it and feedback is welcome! Please do subscribe to my channel VTphysics if you’ve found it entertaining!
Here’s a worksheet/handout I give to my physics class when teaching magnetic fields. I’ve also provided a link to a video I created to show how to carry out the experiment for plotting the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet.
Enjoy!
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!

Topic:
Forces in balance: Resultant force practical
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).
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.

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!

I’ve included a few exam style questions on harmonics and stationary waves on a string. Answers are also included.
I’ve also included the link to a video I made to explain stationary waves on a string and the calculation of frequencies (harmonics). Hope you enjoy it and, if you do, feel free to subscribe to VTphysics!

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!

Here’s a worksheet/handout for centre of gravity. I’ve also included a video to explain how students can find the centre of mass of irregular shapes.
Enjoy!
Here’s another set of circular motion multiple choice questions with answers included.
I’ve also included a video that I created to correct misconceptions about circular motion (angular velocity and tangential speed) that some of my students had. Hope you find it useful, and be sure to subscribe to VTphysics if you like the video!
Here’s a worksheet (and solutions) I’ve used with my 6th form physicists. I’ve also created a video to go along with this. Hopefully, it’ll help you with online teaching!
Topic:
Forces in balance: Resolving forces practical
1. Measure and record a component of a force.
2. Resolve a force into two components at right angles to one another.
Level: GCSE, key stage 4

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
