Radioactivity revision dominoes

(0)
Designed for GCSE Physics, these dominoes contain key terms in Nuclear Physics and can be used for a starter, plenary or as part of a revision exercise. Ideal for small groups or individual students. 4 differently coloured sets of 24 dominoes for easy sorting at the end of the day!
GCSE Electricity - Resistor Networks
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

GCSE Electricity - Resistor Networks

(0)
These resources are ideal for allowing students to test their knowledge of total resistance in series and parallel circuits. I printed the network diagrams on card and gave each pair a set. With the correct answers, I wrote a letter on the back of each card which would make a Physics term or terms (e.g. longitudinal). Incorrect answers had random letters written on the back, then all coloured cards were stuck in various locations around the room, to make a treasure hunt. For my Year 12 GCSE students (medium to high ability) this activity took 10-15 minutes and was great for revision. The Word document includes instructions which can be given to the pairs/groups with their network diagram cards.

Designed for use with Key Stage 3 and 4, these revision hexagons can be laminated and cut to provide a revision activity, either for individuals or groups. Hexagons contain terms on energy types, resources and other key terms from this topic.
Waves Revision activity - hexagons
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Waves Revision activity - hexagons

(0)
Designed for use with Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, this activity includes over 50 hexagons on waves, their properties, the electromagnetic spectrum and its uses and dangers. There are also some blank hexagons for use by staff or students. This activity is great for both individual students and groups to revise a topic, as a plenary to introduce a topic and assess current knowledge or as a method for structuring extended answers. It allows students to not only recall information, but also to see links within the topic.
Wave Properties

Wave Properties

(0)
Designed for Key Stage 3 and 4 Physics this worksheet and accompanying PowerPoint presentation introduce key terms wavelength and amplitude, allowing for both measuring and drawing waves in the worksheet questions.
Types of Radiation card sort for GCSE Physics
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Types of Radiation card sort for GCSE Physics

(0)
Designed for GCSE Physics students, this card sort is a matching activity for types of radiation and their properties. There are 3 cards for alpha, beta and gamma radiation with 21 property cards (an additional 4 cards for lower ability students). This can be used as a starter, plenary or within the lesson as a teaching tool. It could also be used as a revision exercise. The full set could be used with small groups or individuals. In addition, the second PowerPoint contains instructions and tables (blank and with answers) which could help guide students, or allow them to use the cards independently. The Word document contains blank version of both tables which students can complete as an additional exercise.
GCSE Waves Notes
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

GCSE Waves Notes

(0)
Designed for CCEA's Single Award Science (Physics) specification, these notes included information, cloze exercises and questions on the following areas: * transverse & longitudinal waves * wave properties and the wave equation * measuring the speed of sound * echoes & ultrasound * the electromagnetic spectrum
GCSE Space revision activity
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

GCSE Space revision activity

(0)
Designed for CCEA’s GCSE Science specifications, these hexagons are a great tool for revision purposes, as a starter or plenary, a group or individual exercise and can be tailored to suit the students and content. Topics include geocentric & heliocentric models, the solar system and Universe, stars, satellites and earthquakes. Over 50 hexagons included with a few extra blanks for students/teachers to add their own ideas.
Space revision hexagons
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Space revision hexagons

(0)
This resource includes hexagons for Earth and Space topics including the Big Bang theory, seasons, day and night, development of our understanding of the solar system, satellites, telescopes and blank hexagons which students and/or teachers can add their own ideas. These hexagons make a great end of topic revision exercise, allowing students to organise their learning, spotting links between concepts and discussing their ideas. This can be done as an individual or group exercise (I tend to use small groups, laminate the hexagons and simply ask students to sort the cards).
Transport and Safety, speed distance time
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Transport and Safety, speed distance time

(0)
This set of notes is designed for CCEA's GCSE Single Award Science (Physics) specification. It includes cloze exercises, information and questions on the following topics: * vehicle safety e.g. seatbelts, crumple zones * factors affecting thinking/braking distances * speed/distance/time calculations, including average and instantaneous speeds * distance-time graphs * momentum * resultant forces
Quantum Physics - Electron Energy Level revision
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Quantum Physics - Electron Energy Level revision

(0)
These resources are ideal for allowing students to test their knowledge of the frequency/wavelength of photons absorbed/emitted by electrons as they transition between energy levels. I printed the energy level diagrams on card and gave each pair a set. With the correct answers, I wrote a letter on the back of each card which would make a Physics term or terms (e.g. Doppler & Young). Incorrect answers had random letters written on the back, then all coloured cards were stuck in various locations around the room, to make a treasure hunt. For my Year 13 AS Physics students (medium to high ability) this activity took 15-20 minutes and was great for revision. The Word document includes instructions which can be given to the pairs/groups with their energy level diagram cards.
Measurements Practical test
