This is a lesson and PowerPoint that covers Millikan’s famous Oil Drop experiment where he determined the absolute charge, the charge on an electron This PowerPoint explains the experiment that he performed, along with the calculations needed. There are ideas for extending the lesson to include all four forces (drag, buoyancy, gravity and electric) that Millikan had to do. As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional Turning Points in Physics unit 9 for AQA (Lesson 4 of 13) Please see my shop to view all of my lessons and entire schemes of work

This is lesson 18.5 Energy and Simple Harmonic Motion from the latest syllabus This pack also contains a short powerpoint to introduce the required practical #7 as well as the pages from the AQA documentation on this practical. Included here is a powerpoint of this lesson and lesson plan complete with point by point teaching, homework recommendations and curriculum links. Everything that you need to teach this lesson. I am currently rolling out these lessons as I produce them and will bundle them together once each chapter is done. Please also see my Year 1 resources. All of Chapter one is free to sample and the entire 80 powerpoint course and detailed scheme of work is available on TES

This is a lesson and PowerPoint introducing the history and development of the model of the atom. This is the third lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4). The lesson covers the main scientists that have built up the theory of the atom over the centuries. The idea of theories and how they are developed and refined is discussed and some ideas for classroom activities are also included.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining how a DC electric motor works. This is the fourth lesson in the Electromagnetism unit of work (P7). The lesson covers the theory of DC motors working from the motor effect and moments, through to the split ring commutator. Practical ideas and risk assessments to investigate motors in the classroom are also highlighted. Ideas for differentiation, discussion, research and homework also included in lesson plan.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint introducing the change of state of matter. This is the fourth lesson in the Particle Model unit of work (P3). The lesson covers the theories of solids, liquids and gases and the changes of state between them including a practical idea, conservation of mass and the difference between physics and chemical changes. The lesson plan is step by step including extension ideas and the learning objectives linked directly to the syllabus.

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining how a potential difference is induced by a magnet and coil of wire. This is the sixth lesson in the Electromagnetism unit of work (P7). The lesson covers the basic idea of inducing a PD and current, then moves on to explain how to work out the orientation of the current flow and induced magnetic field in a coil of wire. The differences between an alternator and dynamo are covered including the graphs of current over time. Ideas for differentiation, discussion, research and homework also included in lesson plan as well as the equipment list for a recommended investigation and demonstration of AC / DC on an oscilloscope.

This is a lesson and PowerPoint that covers resolution of telescopes, Rayleigh criterion, calculating the maximum resolution for any aperture and links to the use of non-optical telescopes. Included is a short experiment idea to discover the resolution of the human eye. As well as supporting A-Level Physics for many exam boards this lesson is also part of a chapter that covers the optional astrophysics unit 9 for AQA

This is a 17 slide PowerPoint and a worksheet of questions that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Rotational Motion. This is the fifth PowerPoint in this section which covers an introduction to circular mathematics and applies this to rotational engineering. This includes Angular Displacement, Radians, Angular Velocity, Angular Displacement, Tangential Velcoity, Centripetal Acceleration, and Torque.

iGCSE - Refraction of light and refractive index This lesson covers the refraction of light and the calculation of refractive index when passing from air into transparent materials. This lesson also demonstrates the experiment that can be performed, step-by-step with animation. There are also two examples of light entering and exiting other shapes (prism and edge of a square) which can cause pupils issues in exams.

iGCSE - Reflection of light This lesson covers the basics of reflected light, honing in on exam points including the normal and the angles of incidence and reflection. The experiment for reflection of light and a ray box is included, as well as description of specular and diffuse reflections and how to draw diagrams with multiple reflections from surfaces.

iGCSE - Acceleration calculations and graph interpretation This lesson covers the basic calculation of acceleration, and then uses graphs to show calculations using gradients as well as the area under the graph using composite triangles and rectangles. The worksheet is a two page questions sheet (with answer sheet supplied) that goes over the main points covered in the lesson

This is a 9 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Shear forces which create stress and strain. This then goes on to explain how this relates to the Modulus of Rigidity. A set of questions and answers is included. This is the seconds of three PowerPoints in this series and covers the mathematical and physics for an analysis of Stress and Strain in Engineering materials as applied to bolts and rivets under shearing conditions v1.01 Error in calculation corrected v1.1 Question sheet and answer sheet added v.1.11 (Jan 2023) Minor change to ppt; rewording of worksheet question to make it clearer
