“Cut out and keep” credit card size revision cards to help students learn the equations that will be needed for the exams. The equations have been stripped down to a minimum to make them simpler to learn and remember. There’s one for paper one and another for paper two. Provided as pdfs and in word so that they can be edited if desired.

This set of notes has been put together as a 12 page A4 booklet, organised for paper 1 and paper 2 For each required practical there’s a simple diagram, a list of equipment and a step by step method and hints about using the data collected; hopefully that’s everything a student may need to recall for the exams.

This 27 page, write -in workbook covers pretty much all the material required for the paper 2 exam. It’s ideal for revision in the classroom or at home. Worked answers are also provided. It takes the form of a series of tests, one for each physics topic. By projecting the worked answers onto the board, students can mark their own work. NOTE this material is the same as that offered as end of topic tests. Don’t buy it twice!

This twenty six page write-in workbook full of questions, covers just about everything students need for the first exam paper. It comprises a test for each section of the course and worked answers are also provided. It’s ideal for revision in class and for homework. By projecting the worked answers onto the board, students can mark their own work. NOTE this material is the same as that offered as end of topic tests. Don’t buy it twice!

End of topic tests for physics topics P8 to P16 (everything on paper 2) These tests cover the whole topic, are editable and are designed to be printer friendly ie they are on 2-4 sheets of paper so don’t cost much to print! There’s also worked answers for each test. NOTE this material is the same as that provided in the revision question booklets. Don’t buy the same material twice!

End of topic tests for topics 1-7. They cover the entire topic well, are editable and designed to be printer friendly ie they are on just 2-4 sides of paper so they don’t cost much to print out! Worked answers are also provided for each test. NOTE this is the same material as provided in the revision question booklets so don’t buy the same thing twice!

These resources were written specifically to meet the demands of the P16 (space) section of the AQA GCSE in physics. Three versions of the same crossword are provided to ensure that students find it hard to copy from each other! A word list (list of answers) is also provided to aid weaker students. The word list can also be used alongside the wordsearch. In addition, there is a colouring in sheet to help students remember the life cycle of stars.

This collection of materials has been written to help students summarise and revise all the information in the space section (P16) section of AQA’s GCSE physics. Each resource covers this whole section of the specification. summary presentation full of wonderful pictures supplied in pdf format as well as powerpoint four sides of exam style questions along with worked answers a set of key terms for students to sort and turn into a concept map along with pre-sorted words for less able students to use a single sheet of quick answer questions (along with answers) a set of notes for students that fit on to a single side a fill in the gaps worksheet that provides a set of notes once completed

Whilst students play top trumps with these well designed cards (supplied in word and pdf format), they will learn much about molecular structure and formulae as well as finding out about how living organisms use the molecules. A great starter activity, students enjoy the game and learn a lot along the way.

A very visual way of appreciating the carbon cycle and a great introduction to climate change. This board game shows carbon atoms cycling around the natural environment. It moves around the 3 main stores (plants, animals and the atmosphere) according the the roll of a dice, but overall stays in balance. However, when the game is repeated (by skewing the number of atoms that move for one number on the dice) the cycle goes out of balance. There is a sheet for students to record the movement of the atoms and notes for the teacher as well as Word and pdf versions of the board which can be printed onto A4 card of laminated.

Full and detailed instructions for building a simple loudspeaker that will work and play music.

Thirteen questions over four sides of A4 that require students to interpret graphs on topics from all areas of the GCSE physics specification. Perfect for exam preparation. Worked answers are also provided.

Use this to help your students build a knowledge base as they revise the required practicals in preparation for sitting the exam. Students find YouTube videos of the practicals (readily available) and then use the instructions and structure provided by this booklet to complete a summary of each experiment.

Since 2016, specifications have used the Institute of Physics preferred language describing energy stores and energy transfers. Here are notes and a worksheet for students along with a cut and stick activity to provide practise using these new ways of thinking about energy

Here are a selection of resources to help with teaching radioactivity - A set of mystery cards (along with teacher notes) about the nature of radioactivity. Students use the information on the set of cards make deductions about the 3 types of radiation - a worksheet about the properties of the 3 types of radiation and a second worksheet about ionisation. - some suggestions for teaching nuclear equations - a presentation about the death of Alexander Litvinenko which draws heavily on GCSE knowledge on this subject.

Two hands-on activities for what can be a rather dry area of work. In the first, students examine diagrams of atoms and use a periodic table to identify them. In the seconds, atom pairs are examined in order to find out whether or not they are isotopes. The activities work well after the key idea have been explained since they help students consolidate and then apply their knowledge.

You will find here a set of resources that have been tried and tested with both able and foundation students: - Details of a ball and pea model that provides a hands on model to explain resistance - A competitive game for teams of students based on understanding current, potential difference and resistance - a team game for foundation students that develops their ability to carry out calculations using equations - details of a simple experiment that demonstrates the link between voltage and current - a set of worksheets to reinforce and consolidate.

This role play is the best method I've used to help students understand current and potential difference; these abstract concepts really need some concrete models if students are to grasp them. The role play is followed by comparison with two further models and there is a further worksheet to help consolidate understanding

There's a wealth of resources here; enough to fill a couple of lessons with a good variety of activities. Walking Graphs activity is an excellent way of helping students to really understand what distance (and displacement) time and speed (and velocity) -time graphs tell them. It's very engaging and students really enjoy it. Gradients Presentations talk through how and why velocity and acceleration can be calculated by finding graph gradients. Six Worksheets in a variety of styles to reinforce and consolidate understanding

In this lesson, students use their knowledge (supplemented by the fact sheet provided) to decide how the meet the energy requirements of an island. In my experience, students enjoy the activity and there are often heated arguments between the groups!
