A carefully animated model for current and voltage. Current is represented by soldiers running along wires, voltage is the chocolate bars (energy) they transfer. The presentation contains an entertaining starter, a quiz and worksheets with answers to review learning. I have found the model to be very effective with a huge range of ability levels from year 7 to year 12.

A set of cards describing the stages in the life of a star. Can be printed as a card sort or done on computer(s) using the first slide. Answers are included. Appropriate for AQA P3 unit and OCR 21stC P7 unit.

This lesson was graded as Outstanding at an interview. Mini-whiteboard starter with unusual adaptations, surface area to volume ratio calculations and a differentiated written plenary.

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.

An A-level Physics lesson on sampling waves. Originally used for OCR Advancing Physics unit 3. Contains an iPad sampling task, a paper-based sampling activity, five pages worth of exam questions with hints and worked answers. The process of sampling is carefully explained using clear animated diagrams. Exam questions cover equations for bit rate rate and signal:noise ratio.

An exciting A-level lesson on pixel resolution. Originally used for OCR Advancing Physics Unit 1. Contains an animated introduction to resolution, a very carefully worked example, an introductory starter quiz and ten pages worth of differentiated exam questions with answers and explanations. Useful for computer science too.

This lesson uses carefully chosen examples with picture representations as well as chemical formulae. There are two differentiated worksheets (embedded in in the ppt) with answers and a plenary quiz. Thoroughly tried, tested and recommended. Twitter @JohnnyBHudson

An excellent resource aimed at higher GCSE level. Contains differentiated question sheets with answers. Covers electron shells, names of ionic compounds, animated diagrams for two ionic compounds and two covalent compounds. Contains a worksheet and animated presentation. Recommended.

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.

PowerPoint animations describing three exciting experiments for an assembly. i) A no-handed mug catch ii) Non-popping balloon immune to candles iii) Floating teabags. I got students to perform the experiments. A script is included in the footnotes. The teabags work better launched from a paper surface - they seem to get stuck with heat-proof mats.
