Physics
Main electricity and plugs
A lesson looking at mains electricity and the differences between AC and DC current. It also includes a look at how plugs are set put together and mains wiring in preperation for a plugs wiring lesson.
AQA GCSE thermistors, variable resistors, diodies and light dependent resistors
A lesson which looks at the thermistor, variable resistor, diode and LDR in detail. It includes an info hunt activity where students learn about how each one works and examples of where it may be used. It also includes exam questions with answers on powerpoint so students can go through questions
AQA Series circuits for GCSE
Lesson where students explore how series circuits affect current and voltage - includes practical worksheet for students to use. Includes activity where students must use V=IR and knowledge of series circuits to check readings from example circuits
AQA GCSE Parallel circuits
A lesson which looks at how current and voltage change in a parallel circuit. Includes word fill activity, explanation of the content, practical sheet and plenary task.
Comparison between series and parallel circuits
A lesson looking at a comparison between series and parallel circuits - a review of the previous few lessons. Includes a task where students must work out current and voltage on a circuit which has both series and parallel elements. Has exam questions which have answers on powerpoint to go through with students
AQA GCSE National Grid - cables and AC/DC
A look at how the national gird is set up, takes a look at step up and down transformers, what current is used and the types of cables. Includes a cut and stick activity for the set up and exam questions with answers on powerpoint.
KS3 Planets and moons - including phases of the moon
Lesson for KS3 space - looks at what is meant by a moon. Activity ask students too see how many moons each planet needs. Also looks at the phases of the moon and why we can see different parts at different times. This has an accompanying worksheet.
KS3 Orbits
A lesson looking at how orbits are maintained and examples of different types of orbit. Suitable for KS3 or low ability KS4.
Mass and Weight
This lesson is suitable for KS3 or KS4 combined science. It looks at what gravity is and the relationship between mass and weight. It includes worksheet for working out mass, weight and gravity - this is differentiated with two versions, one being more scaffolded and the other having harder questions towards the end
Introduction to Sound KS3
A resource which looks at how sound waves are produced and how they travel
Science Christmas Colour by Numbers
a selection of colour by numbers for science and end of the year. Asks questions which students in the year groups are likely to have come across.
AQA density of regular and irregular objects (3 lessons)
Three lessons on the density of regular and irregular objects. Linked to the AQA physics scheme of work. There are practical sheets which accompany both lessons and exam questions to assess learning.
Lesson 1 -looking at density of regular objects , including practical sheet with questions (answers on powerpoint) for working out density of regular objects
Lesson 2 - same idea but now for density of irregular objects, again practical sheet with questions (answers on powerpoint)
Lesson 3 - a review, looking at density of liquids, some ideas of precision in this practical and some exam questions to complete. Answers in detail on powerpoint.
AQA States of Matter
Lesson for states of matter (AQA) introducing solids, liquids and gases properties and nailing down the key terms for this module and in exams
Specific heat capacity (3-4 lessons)
Three lessons covering everything for the AQA specific heat capacity required practical
Lesson 1 - a look at the theory of specific heat capacity with some example questions for students to have a go at on sheet
Lesson 2 - the practical itself with a guidance sheet to assist with working out the specific heat capacity. Sheet is especially helpful to scaffold students with working out the power and then the energy in the absence of a joulemeter for practical
Lesson 3 - a review of the practical including exam questions covering this and relevant science skills. Answers in detail on powerpoint for you to go through with students
This can be a faff for specialists and non specialists so I hope this helps you.
AQA Energy stores and Pathways (two lessons, updated for latest spec)
Two lessons for energy stores and pathways.
Lesson one looks at the different types of energy store. Students work on identifying them and complete card sort activity checking understanding.
Lesson 2 recaps stores and introduces pathways. Tasks include a worksheet where students must identify the stores involved in an energy change and the pathway it takes.
AQA Changes of State (two lessons)
AQA Changes of state, two lesson looking at how matter changes shape, identifying key terminology. Includes worksheet for practical where students attempt to find the melting point of stearic acid . Also includes exam questions with answers on powerpoint.
KS4 Forces colour by numbers
A colour by numbers sheet in which students answer questions on forces to find the right colours. Suitable for lower ability groups.
KS4 Atomic Physics (Radiation) colour by numbers (AQA)
A colour by numbers sheet where students must answer questions on the radiation portion of the atomic physics module for AQA. Suitable for most ability groups.
AQA GCSE - Power (for energy and forces)
A lesson with accompanying worksheet looking at power. This is aimed mostly at covering power in forces and energy with reference to work done , rather than to do with electricity specifically.
Includes practical about working out your own power by running up stairs. answers to questions included in powerpoint
AQA - Stopping Distances
A GCSE lesson looking at factors affecting stopping distances and touching on braking force (linking to F=ma work)
includes worksheet for reaction times and comparison with other data and exam questions with answers on the lesson powerpoint. The exam questions includes a nice suvat rearranging question for the higher ability.
