Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 8.9: Resolution of Forces.
The lesson objectives are:
What is meant by the resolution of forces
How to resolve a force
About the forces on an object in equilibrium
How to use a force diagram to work out whether or not an object is in equilibrium
As the content is for higher science students, the lesson has been aimed at higher achieving students. The PowerPoint goes through both the scale drawing and trigonometry approach of resolving a forces. The answers at the end relate the the summary questions on page 131 of the GCSE physics book.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.2: The Life History of a Star.
The lesson objectives are:
Why stars eventually become unstable
The stages in the life of a star
What will eventually happen to the Sun
What a supernova is
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 235.
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
PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of series and parallel circuits. The lesson objectives covered are:
Describe the difference between series and parallel circuits
Describe how current and potential difference vary in series and parallel circuits
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 2 book, chapters P1.4.
PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of energy and temperature. The lesson objectives covered are:
State the difference between energy and temperature
Describe what happens when you heat up solids, liquids and gases
Explain what is meant by equilibrium
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 2 book, chapters P2.3.
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.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheet covers chapter 15.1: Magnetic Fields.
The lesson objectives are:
The force rule for two magnetic poles near each other
The pattern of magnetic field lines around a bar magnet
What induced magnetism is
Why steel, not iron, is used to make permanent magnets
The Powerpoint is aimed at all abilities, although the corresponding worksheet is aimed at lower abilities. It is suggested that during this lesson, the students should have access to magnets to play and observe with. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 215.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheets cover chapter 15.8: Transformers in Action.
The lesson objectives are:
How the ratio of the primary to the secondary potential difference depends on the number of turns in each coil
How the number of turns on the secondary coil relates to the number of turns on the primary coil for a step-down transformer and for a step up transformer
What you can say about a transformer that is 100% efficient
Why less power is wasted using high potential difference to transfer power through the grid system
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end of the PowerPoint refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 229. The Worksheets are also aimed at high abilities, and have answers included.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying power (part of the energy topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and gets progressively more difficult down the worksheet. The answers have been provided.
