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

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!
