220 multiple choice questions for A-level physics second year topics. These questions have carefully presented student-friendly model solutions.
Questions from the circular motion topic are available as a free sample
This lesson is used to introduce simple harmonic motion. A prior knowledge of circular motion or waves is not needed.
1 Matching pairs starter interactive game
2 Newton’s gravity train
3 Bouncy spring - table and sketch graphs
4 Question sheets
Use these questions with your brightest and best year 12 students to occupy and stretch them from the very beginning of the A level physics course.
The year 12 A level Physics Olympiad exams are in January and March every year. It’s tricky to start training students on challenging questions at the start of their A level studies as they haven’t covered much relevant content. The questions reproduced in this resource are suitable for the start of the A level physics course - the problem solving is tricky but builds on existing GCSE knowledge. Solutions are provided.
Updated 19 Feb with a new extra edition indicating the AQA 2022 exam topics
This is a great revision lesson (and relaxing for the teacher). Each student in your class will answer around 100 differentiated questions with help and feedback covering the whole topic. The emphasis is on student independence. The differentiation should work well from GCSE foundation tier revision to A level recap.
Students use this pdf file on iPads/ tablets/ phone/ laptops. Email the file to your class and use Adobe Acrobat Reader on “single page view” to optimise the view.
I’d recommend asking students to submit notes they make on key points and record any rewards they receive for completing sections. You could track student progress from the reward pictures they get.

I selected 18 questions from the past papers to use with my year 13 class. All the answers are carefully presented.
The difficulty is graded for every question ★★★☆☆ The formatting enabled me to use the questions on our remote learning platform. I tried to choose questions with interesting examples. So not the salad spinner one.
In the 2020 lockdown I developed four interactive ebooks to help teach and test material for the Engineering unit. These are strongly recommended.
Moments of Inertia
Flywheel Practical
pV graphs for Engineering
Engine Cycles and Calculations
I taught this lesson remotely in 2020 and thought it would be valuable to share.
Adiabatic notes and YouTube clips
Spark chamber experiment and calculation
Exam questions and answers
Derivation extension task

Students can’t usually recognise constellations and planets above their heads. This is a shame as the night skies are beautiful. This marvelous interactive eBook will take them from absolute beginners to naked eye experts in about 40 minutes. Suitable from year seven to A level astrophysics students.
Either in the classroom or remote at home, this is a fantastic lesson (and relaxing for the teacher) Students use the pdf eBook file on iPads/ tablets/ laptops. The emphasis is on student independence. The file contains 407 hyperlinked pages with 73 questions. Differentiated paths are automatically followed based on students answers.
Track student progress by them reporting which end of chapter reward pictures they receive. Instructions to share with students and a teacher key to the rewards are included.

If they send you other bogus stickers to you (°C Celsius, F Fahrenheit, K Kelvin) then they are simply scrolling through slides and not correctly answering questions.
