Four in a Row games on six other physics topics are available individually from my shop or as a bundle at a greatly reduced price. Four in a Row is a game for your whiteboard. Nothing needs to be printed or prepared to play this game. The game-play is somewhere between noughts and crosses and blockbusters. Two teams alternate, competing to correctly answer questions on the grid. The board is interactive - clicking tiles changes the colours and also reveals answers. Radioactivity Four in a Row is designed primarily for GCSE Physics/ Combined Science courses but may be useful elsewhere.

Five interactive competitive games on AS Physics topics of Mechanics, Particles, Photoelectric Effect, Waves and Young Modulus. These will make a very welcome break from other less thrilling means of revision. The Matching Pairs Game is a fun and competitive interactive whiteboard game in which two teams take it in turns to match tiles. The game automatically scores and has a built in timer in the event of a draw. Students really enjoy the competitiveness. This game won a Microsoft innovation award. An editor is separately available to make your own games; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/matching-pairs-interactive-game-creator-11063058 These five games are also available together in a discounted bundle of ten A-level Matching Pairs Games; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/bundler/11560439 bennyjohn5@hotmail.com

Plays by the same rules as popular children’s card game “TopTrumps”. A card game with twenty-three different fundamental particles. I recommend this to introduce the particles topic at A-level, it is very engaging. Make up a whole class set for students to work in pairs they will accidentally learn loads whilst having fun. My students often have the cards in front of them throughout the topic. Added rules for annihilation when a particle and antiparticle meet. Graphics used by permission by the Particle Zoo

A tried and tested lesson on absorption and emission spectra. Contains a recapping starter, an identifying spectra task and consolidation exercises. By using energy numbers for the levels students engage with the concept much better. Suitable for AQA Combined Science Trilogy 4.4.1.1 or AQA GCSE Physics 6.4.1.1 or A level Chemistry or Physics.

Plays by the same rules as popular children’s card game “TopTrumps”. A card game with sixteen different types of power stations. I recommend this to introduce or revise the GCSE power stations topic, it is very engaging. Make up a whole class set for students to work in pairs they will accidentally learn loads whilst having fun.

A bingo game designed to get the whole class using their brains to consolidate this topic. There are 22 graph-based questions, the answer and method is shown after each question. The questions are in difficulty order. Surprisingly competitive.

Six splendid puzzles to display on your interactive whiteboard. These make great lesson starters and are an essential part of a teacher's toolkit. You probably already know the River Crossing puzzle. The puzzles are animated to make them very attention grabbing. No printing is needed; all the puzzles should be solvable without the need to write anything down. Very engaging and fun.

This quiz contains eighteen multiple choice questions. Students should have a gut feeling for the size of their answers. This quiz should help them to learn to self-check that they are calculating quantities with the correct order of magnitude. Contains a page summarising the answers and an introduction by way of The Hitchhikers Guide.

This lesson is a favourite of mine. The topic may not be on an examined syllabus anymore but works as an excellent extension or gain time lesson. Contains a lot of big ideas but broken up with short activities. Differentiated question sheets are embedded in the powerpoint. Ofsted judged this lesson with my year 9s as"outstanding" in every area.

This is my favourite optical illusion and it’s not well known. Could be used as an interactive starter in Physics, Biology or Art. I have used this several times for Science Week assemblies - a hall full of students audibly stunned at how their own eyes work. Strongly recommended.

A fun competitive interactive whiteboard game in which two teams take it in turns to match pictures triangles to equations describing them. Requires students to be able to label sides and apply SOHCAHTOA. Suitable for GCSE and A-level. The game automatically scores and has a built in timer in the event of a draw. Students really enjoy the competitiveness, strongly recommended. This game won a Microsoft innovation award. A version containing an editor and picture pairs is now available to buy on TES resources. Visit my shop; www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/bennyjohn5.

Four animated starter questions to prompt discussion and explore the concepts underlying energy conservation. Students find the bizarre situations and theoretical approach appealing. As with concept cartoons student’s ideas can be very revealing. This resource should be used once the basic concepts of energy types have been introduced.
