(There is one link to a video on the ActiveTeach which could be replaced with other available videos.)
CP9a lesson from the new Edexcel Combined Science GCSE (9-1) all about electric circuits.
The lesson includes an atomic structure recap, current in metals, circuit symbols and series/parallel circuits.
Revision materials for the CP4 topic in the new Edexcel Science GCSE (9-1).
Includes a revision worksheet (1 side of A3 with learning outcomes for the topic on the reverse side) and a CP4 in a page summary.
Covers content from:
CP4a Describing Waves
CP4b Wave Speed
CP4c Refraction
*I've grouped both of these revision resources together as it is such a small topic*

The lesson includes a recap of the long waves, uses of ultraviolet, uses of x-rays and uses of gamma rays.
CP3d lesson from the new science GCSE (9-1) all about stored energies.
The lesson includes what gravitational potential energy is, how to calculate a change in gravitational potential energy, what kinetic energy is and how to calculate kinetic energy stored.
CP1d lesson from the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) all about velocity / time graphs.
The lesson includes a recap on distance/time graphs, how to interpret velocity/time graphs and how to calculate distance travelled by calculating the area under the graph.
one task requires the use of a worksheet from the ActiveTeach but could easily be replaced by other available worksheets

Includes a check of all the learning outcomes, a practice exam question with a modelled answer, an activity with different questions around the room (all levelled), answers to self assess and a kahoot quiz to end the lesson.
CP8b lesson from the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) all about vector diagrams.
The lesson includes resultant forces, free body diagrams, drawing scale diagrams to work out resultant forces and drawing scale diagrams to resolve forces.
A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off).
Lesson 1:
Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them.
Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work.
Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life.
Lesson 2:
Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'.
Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers.
Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive.
Lesson 3:
Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements.
Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene.
Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
CP2f lesson for the new Edexcel science GCSE, looking at momentum.
The lesson includes what momentum is, how to calculate momentum, momentum and acceleration and momentum and collisions.
CP6b lesson from the new Edexcel science GCSE all about atoms.
The lesson includes what atoms are, what makes up an atom, the charges and masses of each subatomic particle, what atomic number is, what atomic mass is and isotopes.
CP5c lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE (9-1) all about using the long EM waves.
The lesson includes a recap of the order of EM waves, visible light uses, Infrared uses, microwave uses, radio uses, how radio waves are made and detected and how the ionosphere refracts different waves.
Revision lesson for CP4 and 5 in the new Edexcel Science GCSE (9-1).
The lesson uses Marvel characters for the basis of 15 questions, intended to be printed and placed around the room to get them moving around as they revise through answering the questions.
End of Year quiz for use within Science lessons towards the end of term. There are 11 Quiz rounds to choose from (I usually have the folder open on the board and let one team at a time choose which round we do).
There are several science based rounds, more loosely based science rounds as well as some generic rounds.
***More rounds will be added in the run up to the end of term.
