Happy teaching!
This powerpoint consists of 10 slides (around 1 to 1.5 hours of work for students), including step-by-step instruction for a practical.
Learning objectives covered:
Describe the Earth’s magnetic field.
Describe the magnetic effect of a current.
The practical activity is for pupils to build an electromagnet using an iron nail and power pack. Pupils test factors that affect the strength of the magnetic field strength.
Summary questions and answers (appear on click) are included in the slides.
Be sure to check out the bundle for more resources on magnetism.
Enjoy!
This set of powerpoint presentations consists of 25 slides (around 1.5 to 2 hours of work for students).
Students will learn to explain why the pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density. Afterwards, they will progress onto learning the physics of floating and sinking objects, and the factors that influence it.
Enjoy!

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
