Hooke’s Law KS4 Science Physics / KS5 Recap for the topic of materials in physics L.O. To investigate how force is related to extension of a material by Hooke’s Law. To calculate the force required to extend a spring. To calculate the elastic potential energy stored in a spring. The Powerpoint presentation includes 17 slides. They contain theory, tasks, practical experiment, and questions with solutions. Some texts and images are animated, such that they appear upon click. There is a handout to go along with the practical of investigation Hooke’s law (stretching a spring using slot masses and measuring its extension.) A worksheet is included. I’ve used this sheet as homework, but you can also use it as classwork. Enjoy!

Revision Matt / Knowledge Organiser Included is also a knowledge organiser for the topic of Magnetism and Electromagnetism. Enjoy!

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. 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! 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 Forces and movement 8 Types of forces 9 Scalars and vectors 10 Force diagrams 11 Resultant forces 12 Newton’s first law 13 Newton’s second law 14 Newton’s third law 15 Mass and weight 16 Terminal velocity 17 Stopping distance Shape and momentum 18 Hooke’s law 19 Center of gravity 20 Moments 21 Principle of moments 22 Stability 23 Momentum 24 Conservation of momentum 25 Change in momentum

Pupils learn about how light intensity, temperature, wind speed, and humidity affect the rate of transpiration. At the end, there's a creative writing exercise.

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.

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
