Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheets cover chapter 11.4: Upthrust and Floatation.
The lesson objectives are:
What is meant by upthrust on an object in a fluid
What causes an upthrust
What the pressure in a fluid depends on
How to explain whether an object in a fluid floats or sinks
This PowerPoint also goes through the whole derivation for Archimedes’ principle, so there is a lot of algebra and simultaneous equations, designed for a triple physics set. The answers at the end of the PowerPoint refer to the summary questions on page 169 in the book. The worksheet also has answers.
Following closely along with the AQA A-Level physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 3.1: The Photoelectric Effect.
The lesson objectives are:
Explain the photoelectric effect
Define a photon
Discuss how the photon model was established
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying moments (part of the forces topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and gets progressively more difficult down the worksheet. The answers have been provided.
For use in either biology or physics lessons. This practical sheet provides a method of calculating reaction times when catching a falling ruler, using just the distance (no need to use stopwatches). The students will be calculating their reaction times with and without music, and concluding why they differ.
5 Worksheets, with answers, to help with teaching the equations for electricity to GCSE.
One worksheet covers the circuit symbols and definitions.
Four worksheets cover the equations.
One worksheet covers rearranging and memorising the equations

This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying power (part of the electricity topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and gets progressively more difficult down the worksheet. The answers have been provided.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheets cover chapter 5.2: Cables and Plugs.
The lesson objectives are:
What the casing of a mains plug or socket is made of and why
What is in a mains cable
The colour of the live, neutral and earth wires
Why a three-pin plug includes and earth wire
It is suggested that students have a go at rewiring a plug in lesson. The answers at the end of the PowerPoint refer to the exam question worksheet.
