Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.5: The Beginning and Future of The Universe. The lesson objectives are: What the Big Bang theory of the universe is Why the universe is expanding What the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation is What evidence there is that the universe was created in a big bang 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 241.

Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.4: The Expanding Universe. The lesson objectives are: What is meant by the red-shift of a light source How red-shift depends on speed How people know that the distant galaxies are moving away from Earth Why people think the universe is expanding 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 239.

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 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.

PowerPoint presentation and worksheet aimed at KS3 students on the topic of waves. The lesson objectives covered are: Describe the different types of wave and their features Describe what happens when water waves hit a barrier Describe what happens when waves superpose

PowerPoint presentation and worksheet aimed at KS3 students on the topic of The Moon (in space). The lesson objectives covered are: Describe the phases of the Moon Explain why you see phases of the Moon Explain why eclipses happen This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 1 book, chapters 4.4.

PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of The Earth (in space). The lesson objectives covered are: Explain the motion of the Sun, stars, and Moon across the sky Explain why seasonal changes happen This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 1 book, chapters 4.3.

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.

Goes through all lesson objectives in clear language. Students can read this instead of lesson, or use this for pre-reading, or to catch-up on missed lesson.

These worksheets are intended to be used whilst running any of the 10 required practicals in AQA GCSE physics. They all include the equipment and methods for running the practicals. Some are designed towards improving maths skills; drawing graphs; calculating gradients; and substituting algebra with the line of best fit. Some are designed to improve students' abilities in writing scientific conclusions. These worksheets are designed towards higher achieving students, although the methods have been written to be easily followed by all, and a number of them have diagrams of the set ups included. The headers also link to where the learning can be found in the AQA books. If you find any issues with any of the worksheets, please don't hesitate to let me know.
