Forces worksheets
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Forces worksheets

(3)
These two worksheets are designed for Key Stage 3 students (Years 7 & 8). They include a worksheet with questions on drawing force diagrams and a general forces homework/question sheet.
Solar System Fact Sheet
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Solar System Fact Sheet

(2)
This resource contains a table (teacher version and cloze exercise) with facts about planets in our solar system. Students can either research the missing information or a teacher-led discussion could help to complete the answers. Additional uses for this resource could be the basis of a larger research project or investigation, a comparison between planets or a method of discovering patterns in the planet properties. A further use could be to incorporate this table as part of a data analysis task. Due to the wide range of uses this worksheet could be used for all Years in Key Stage 3.
Weight and mass

Worksheets on Measurements
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Worksheets on Measurements

(1)
Short worksheets of questions designed to test knowledge of how measurements are taken in Physics e.g. volume, time, length. These can be used for Key Stages 2 or 3.
Space research worksheet
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Space research worksheet

(0)
Designed for students in Key Stage 3 this worksheet includes five specific questions for students to answer (either as research or from content learned in lessons) on the Big Bang theory, satellites and telescopes. The second half of this sheet is a research task where students (either individually or in groups) should investigate two of the five named telescopes.
Volume of solids worksheet
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Volume of solids worksheet

(0)
A worksheet of 4 questions on volume, designed for Key Stage 3 students studying either Maths or Physics. Worksheet contains space for calculations.

gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Use of EM waves in Communications

(0)
This PowerPoint presentation and accompanying notes are designed for CCEA's GCSE Single Award Science (Physics) specification and include the use of radio and microwaves for communications, a brief discussion on the hazards of microwave radiation and alternatives.
Physics Bingo Energy Electricity & Motion
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Physics Bingo Energy Electricity & Motion

(1)
Designed as a revision activity for GCSE Physics, these 4x4 bingo cards are easily printed and laminated to produce a class/group activity. The topics included are: * energy types and generation * electrical circuits and safety * forces & speed
Energy Types and Resources
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Energy Types and Resources

(0)
This presentation is designed to be a brief introduction to the topic of Energy for Key Stage 3 pupils. It includes a discussion on the types of energy, where they come from and the different resources.
GCSE Space notes
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

GCSE Space notes

(0)
Designed for CCEA's Single Award Science (Physics) specification, these notes include information, questions and cloze exercises on the following areas of space: * geocentric/heliocentric models of the solar system * structure of the solar system including planets, moons and asteroids * the role of gravity * galaxies and space travel * the Big Bang theory * Red Shift
Reflection of Light notes
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Reflection of Light notes

(0)
Designed for a Key Stage 3 Light topic, this resource includes key facts on light and drawing reflection diagrams, a method and results table for an experiment to investigate the Law of Reflection and some examples and questions involving calculations of angles of incidence and reflection.
Resistors card sort activity
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Resistors card sort activity

(1)
Designed for GCSE Physics students, this card sort is a matching activity for combinations of resistors. Cards contain 24 different combinations of resistors in series and parallel for students to match up with the correct answers. This can be used as a starter, plenary or within the lesson itself as an alternative, or introduction to calculations involving resistors. The full set could be used with small groups, or a set could be split with a smaller number of cards available for individual students. There is also the opportunity to differentiate for higher and lower ability students.
A Level Physics Graphs & Data Analysis
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

A Level Physics Graphs & Data Analysis

(0)
Designed for CCEA's A Level Physics specification, this worksheet of questions is designed for students to improve their graph work for data analysis and experimental analysis. Questions include: * comparing equations to the equation for a straight line y = mx + c, determining the gradient and y intercept * taking logs of equations before linking to y = mx + c * using data provided to take logs of an equation and decide upon correct axes for a graph, with a view to finding the numerical value of a constant
Volume of Solids worksheet
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Volume of Solids worksheet

(0)
Designed for Key Stage 3 Maths and Physics students, this worksheet includes a brief introduction/recap of the equation to calculate volume of a solid, some standard questions and finishes with extension questions for higher ability students which challenge both their mathematical and problem solving skills.
Measuring Length at Key Stage 3
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Measuring Length at Key Stage 3

(0)
Designed as an introduction to measurements in Science, this PowerPoint begins by familiarising students with length, the units and instruments used to measure it. There are some activities described such as measuring lengths of objects and how to measure the thickness of a piece of paper. This is designed for students in their first year (7) of post-primary education, but could also be used with those in the later stages of primary school.
Electrical Circuits
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Electrical Circuits

(0)
These presentations are designed for Key Stage 3 students learning about current in electrical circuits. Circuits includes a recap of circuit symbols and an investigation on how the arrangement of a circuit will affect the brightness of a bulb. Investigating Resistance has the instructions for investigating the relationship between length of a wire and its resistance. There is also a slide on variable resistors.
Current and Voltage in Circuits
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Current and Voltage in Circuits

(0)
Designed for Key Stage 3 Physics students, this presentation discusses the differences between series and parallel circuits, uses the analogy of a supermarket lorry delivering stock to explain voltage and an opportunity for students to investigate current in series and parallel.
