I have created some resources to cover the following points:
Describe how the eye works
Understand how to correct vision
To investigate what happens when light enters a medium
Describe how primary colours add to make secondary colours
Explain how filters and coloured materials subtract light
Draw ray diagrams to represent an image in a mirror
Draw ray diagrams to show light passing through a lens.
My collection of resources include:
26 slides PowerPoint presentation + embedded videos
3 worksheets/homework containing exam-style questions + markschemes
Revision/summary worksheet + answers
Refraction practical guide + worksheet
Topic test + markschemes
This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3 pupils (Yr 7 or 8).
Here’s a simple powerpoint for yr 7 or 8 pupils to learn about the difference between a food chain and a food web.
I’ve used this resource for a 50 minute lesson.
Learning objectives:
Describe what food chains show
Describe what food webs show
This bundle includes…
A Powerpoint presentation to teach students to predict the products formed during aqueous electrolysis and to write half equations at each electrode.
A booklet for students to complete as they take notes during the lesson.
Exam-style questions (10 marks) for the students to complete during the lesson or to complete as homework.
Solutions to the handout and the exam-style questions.
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
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!
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 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 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 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
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!
