A differentiated worksheet to reinforce basic concepts around significant figures and standard form/scientific notation. The worksheet consists of three sections: Part 1 asks students to identify the number of significant figures in a given number; Part 2 requires students to give the answers to basic calculations using the correct number of significant figures; and Part 3 has students practice writing numbers in standard form. Students are asked to complete a minimum number of questions in each section, and each question has been designated as Level 1 (Easy), Level 2 (Medium) or Level 3 (Challenging). This resource complements my lesson on Standard Form and Significant Figures. Originally designed to support the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE specification (outcome 1.4), the worksheet would be suitable for use with any curriculum. It could be used as part of an introductory lesson on these concepts, or as a revision resource. Included is the worksheet in PDF, Word and Pages format, along with an answer key in PDF format.

Two sheets of unit conversion practice calculations. Level 1 is a bit easier, Level 2 a bit harder. Targeted for the Edexcel 9-1 specification, but would work for any curriculum that requires students to do metric unit conversions. Includes one PDF file containing both worksheets.

Presentation and accompanying lesson notes on standard form and significant figures. Originally designed to support the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE specification (outcome 1.4), this lesson would be suitable for introducing standard form/scientific notation and significant figures in any curriculum. This lesson includes a starter activity, specification links to learning outcomes, multiple examples (with answers included in presentation notes), and a true/false plenary quiz. Text for student notes is contained in dashed boxes for easy identification of key ideas, and key terminology is highlighted throughout. The accompanying notes sheets may be used for students who have difficulty in reading/copying from the board, or for the entire class. Also included is a short summary of rules for identifying significant figures that students can glue directly into the front/back of their books. This lesson makes use of the following classroom resources: interactive whiteboard, traffic light cards. It can be altered to suit resources available to you. If you would like a worksheet to accompany this lesson, I have a differentiated worksheet available. Includes presentation in .pptx format, as well as notes sheets in .docx and PDF format, and the rules summary sheet formatted three-up in PDF format.

Presentation and accompanying lesson notes sheet covering SI units and unit conversions for physics. Originally designed to support the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE specification (outcomes 1.1-1.3), this lesson would be suitable for introducing standard units and unit conversion calculations in any curriculum. This lesson includes a think-pair-share starter activity, specification links to learning outcomes, whiteboard quiz, multiple examples (with answers included in presentation notes), and a true/false plenary quiz. Text for student notes is contained in dashed boxes for easy identification of key ideas, and key terminology is highlighted throughout. The accompanying notes sheets may be used for students who have difficulty in reading/copying from the board, or for the entire class. This lesson makes use of the following classroom resources: interactive whiteboard, student whiteboards, traffic light cards. It can be altered to suit resources available to you. If you would like a worksheet to accompany this lesson, I have differentiated Unit Conversions worksheets available as a free download. Includes presentation in .pptx and Keynote format, as well as notes sheets in .docx and PDF format.

Presentation and accompanying lesson notes on scalars and vectors. Originally designed to support the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE specification (outcomes 2.1-2.4), this lesson would be suitable for introducing the concept of scalar and vector quantities under any curriculum. This lesson includes a starter activity on writing directions, specification links to learning outcomes, a demonstration activity to highlight the difference between scalar and vector quantities, examples of how to add scalar and vector quantities, and a plenary quiz. Text for student notes is contained in dashed boxes for easy identification of key ideas, and key terminology is highlighted throughout. The accompanying notes sheets may be used for students who have difficulty in reading/copying from the board, or for the entire class. This lesson makes use of the following classroom resources: interactive whiteboard, blindfold, traffic light cards. It can be altered to suit resources available to you. Please note that instructions for the game and other teaching suggestions are included in the presenter's notes within the PowerPoint file. Includes presentation in .pptx format, as well as notes sheets in .docx and PDF format.

The number of equations that are used in science and math courses can be overwhelming for some students. This resource is designed to remove some of the stress involved with keeping track of useful equations, and provide an easy point of reference for students when studying. Have your students file this chart at the front or back of their workbook, and encourage them to update it regularly. This blank organizer chart contains three columns. In the first column, students write an equation in its symbolic form; in the second, they translate those symbols into words; and the third column provides space for an equation triangle or other visual aid. A page numbering space in the header makes it easy for students to add and organize additional pages as required. Ideal for equation-heavy courses in physics, chemistry, economics, engineering, or mathematics at all levels. Includes one two-page PDF file containing an organizer "front page" and a second page that can be copied double-sided to provide additional chart space.
