This is a bundle of all of the 4 main units of the A-Level Scheme of Work (Year 1) - fully up to date with the latest 2016 syllabus including:
Section 1 (Chapters 1 - 3) - Particles and Radiation
Section 2 (Chapters 4 - 5) - Waves and Optics
Section 3 (Chapters 6 - 11) - Mechanics and Materials
Section 4 (Chapters 12 - 13) - Electricity
Every single lesson in this 80 lesson scheme is step-by step explained with powerpoints for each lesson, including resource ideas and experiments and the 6 required practicals. All links made clear to the latest AQA syllabus
This is everything that a teacher or school needs to teach the entire AS course (Year 1 A-Level AQA). Designed around the AQA syllabus this scheme would be invaluable to anyone teaching any of the main exam boards (OCR and Edexcel).
Chapter 1 is also available FREE if you would like to sample the quality of this resource.
Every individual lesson is available to download at £2/lesson - Chapters are almost half price and this huge bundle of every chapter works out at only 50p per lesson PLUS information and guidance on the six Year 1 required practicals.
All links, page references and lesson codes are from the latest (2015/2016) Oxford University Press book (Both AS and A-Level)
Version history:
v2.00 - All book codes for homework linked to latest 2016 AQA book
v2.01 - Various grammar corrections; simplification of Kaon/Pion table in lesson on particle interactions
v2.02 - Addition of a worked example and summary to lesson 3.1, deleted a corrupted file from the diffraction grating folder
v2.03 Typo on 11.4 corrected
v2.11 - Revamp of chapter 8
v2.12 Renamed a file that was too long, causing issues. Improved PowerPoint 8.3 (labels on graphs)
This is a lesson and PowerPoint revising and summarising the Particle Model of Matter. This is the eighth lesson in the Particle Model unit of work (P3).
The lesson quickly recaps lessons 1 - 7 from this unit (which are available on this site and as a bundle) and covers the theories of solids, liquids and gases; the particle diagrams, density, specific heat capacity, specific latent heat and a qualitative assessment of the gas law.

This is a bundle of 12 fully planned lessons and full PowerPoints to assist in the delivery of an Astrophysics course.
This not only fully completes the AQA Unit 9 scheme (Optional Astrophysics course) but would be ideal for running a Stretch and Challenge GCSE club
This course has excellent ideas, pictures and mathematical solutions to assist in the astrophysics sections of other examination boards
This bundle represents a saving of 46% on the purchase price of the lessons separately.
Version history:
v1.01 - Lesson 28.3 (Charge coupled devices) mathematical error corrected
v1.03 - Lesson 28.5 / 28.6 Error in formula corrected and wavelength scale reveres on spectral diagram
v1.04 - Lesson 28.10/11 typos corrected and magnitude formula sign altered
v1.05 - Lesson 28.12 corrected an error in the maths example. Added a work-through of a second question.
This is the first of three lessons that introduce the idea of logarithms
The PowerPoint takes students through the difficulties in graphing data of wide ranging numbers and then, using the E-M spectrum and H-R diagrams, shows how log-log graphs can be used to display this data.
This is part of the essential mathematics skills needed for A-Level Physics
This set of four lessons goes over the exponential formula used in Physics for radioactive decay as well as teaching the basic rules of logs and why natural logs are used.
This is a lesson and PowerPoint that covers the Michelson-Morley experiment. This is a brief non-mathematical explanation of the experiment that also emphasises the importance of a null hypothesis, scientific rigour and the evolution of understanding of science over three centuries.
This lesson is FREE to download and share but is copyright protected and must not be amended.
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 11 of 15)

This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explain the uses of radiation, dosage to patients and two examples of non-medical uses. This is the eleventh lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4).
The lesson covers the selection criteria for isotopes and uses Technetium as an example, enables consideration for balancing and weighing risks to patients and includes data of common treatments. A one page worksheet has been included as a short activity to enable pupils to graph the data and think about the risks of therapy.
There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching, a PowerPoint to support the lesson and a worksheet to aid in delivery / test understanding. There are also ideas for homework tasks and differentiation tasks that can be used by a teacher to develop the lesson further.
This is a lesson and PowerPoint introducing alpha, beta and gamma radiation. This is the fifth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4).
The lesson covers the diagrams and make up of the four main radiation types (including neutron radiation). There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching and a PowerPoint to support the lesson.
This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint discussing radioactive waste, irradiation and contamination. This is the ninth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4).
The lesson covers the following learning objectives from the syllabus documentation:
• Radioactive contamination is the unwanted presence of materials containing radioactive atoms on other materials.
• Irradiation is the process of exposing an object to nuclear radiation.
• The irradiated object does not become radioactive.
• Suitable precautions must be taken to protect against any hazard
• Understanding that it is important for the findings of studies into the effects of radiation on humans to be published and shared with other scientists so that the findings can be checked by peer review.
• Hazards associated with radioactive material differ according to the half-life involved.
There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching and a PowerPoint (12 slides).
