Topic: Handling data, scientific methods, independent and dependent variables, plotting graphs, analysing graphs, linear and proportional relationship
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). I will use this lesson to teach a class of year 9, beginning their GCSE course.
Resources:
1. Powerpoint slides: powerpoint slides, compatible with a worksheet/handout. Slides contain information and tasks for pupils.
2. Notes (editable documents) for pupils: Use this as worksheet or handout. 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!
Topic:
Forces in balance: Force diagrams
1. Identify reaction pairs using Newton’s third law of motion.
2. Draw force diagrams to represent forces acting on an object.

GCSE physics worksheet/handout on tangent on distance time graph. Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use.
Learning objective:
Calculate the speed of an object from the gradient of a tangent on a distance-time graph.
Happy teaching!

The Earth - The Earth and its Atmosphere (Key stage 3)
L.O. To compare the layers of the Earth and to describe the atmospheric composition.
Contains a multiple choice pre-test great for introduction for this unit.
Here’s a handout that I give my physics students for when we learn about the difference between stationary waves and progressive waves.
I’ve also included two videos to go along with this:
Video to explain the theory
Video to show you how to carry out an experiment to find the speed of light using the idea of nodes and anti-nodes in standing waves - I had a lot of fun doing this!
Enjoy!
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.

Here’s a short video I made to explain the difference between EMF and potential difference. Hope you like it!
How is EMF different from potential difference? When we talk about EMF, that is the energy converted into electrical energy from a source per unit charge. But potential difference is the energy dissipated by a unit charge when charge carriers go through a component, such as a light bulb.
Here’s a worksheet for students practising the use of equations of motion. I’ve also included a video that we can use to show students how to derive all the equations of motion.

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.
