All the resources I have created are specifically targeted at the new specification for Edexcel (9-1) I have followed recommendations from Active teach and the exam specification to make sure all relevant content is covered. Most are lessons within themselves and for those new to teaching may find it reassuring to know that the information the class need is often written in a simple, easy to understand format on the power points themselves.

Resource based on the edexcel 2016 spec (9-1) You do not need any of the edexcel worksheets for most of this lesson but they could be used in addition for homework or additional work. I have used one of the homework sheets as a classroom task but this could easily be avoided Starter: article to read followed by explaining how suspension works using quotes from the article. Main. Information about elastic and inelastic properties and Hookes law (with video)> also includes some information on linear relationships with graph work. Plenary: match the definitions

Resource based on the edexcel 2016 spec (9-1) Note - I have included some exam style questions but you will need to use edexcel worksheets for this lesson. Starter: complete the table of units, vector or scalar. Tables can be printed from the hidden slide within the powerpoint Main: goes into some detail about using the acceleration equation, correct units and gives an walkthrough of an exam Q. This is followed by 2 simple exam questions and use of the edexcel worksheets. One final slide then talks about acceleration due to gravity and brief not on terminal velocity Final task is a choice of 2 exam questions (I picked which one pupils did) T or F plenary at the end

Resource based on the edexcel 2016 spec (9-1) Note - you will need to use edexcel worksheets for this lesson Starter is a knowledge retention quiz for vectors and scalars (answers on powerpoint) Main: pupils are shown a video on distance time graphs. I then got them to draw a table which we used to record some measurements. (pupils walking and running) I did this with 2 year 9 classes, one indoors and one out on the playground. I then showed a sample of some results and drew the graph. they then have to apply this on graph paper. This was followed up by the edexcel worksheets and a quick plenary on whiteboards with graphs on the powerpoint

Resource based on the edexcel 2016 spec (9-1) I have included some exam style questions but you may need to use edexcel worksheets for this lesson. Starter: Explain how a vacuum flask works (printout with key words on slides) Main: Information about GPE with worked examples and questions then information about kinetic energy (as per curriculum). Peer assessment for pupils with answers on slides. Plenary: to get pupils thinking outside the box I gave them the chance to think up questions to ask about the lesson. The harder the question the more reward points they got.

Resource based on the edexcel 2016 spec (9-1) I have included some exam style questions but you may need to use edexcel worksheets for this lesson. Starter: Recap from distance time graphs. PowerPoint provides printable data for students and a pre-made graph for them to complete. To make this harder they could just use graph paper and come up with a suitable scale. Main. information about VT graphs and using and example of a drag racer (inc video to help) . Pupils are then given data from the PowerPoint (either the table of data, the instructions or both depending on ability) and must plot their own graph. Following that 2 power points explain how to calculate distance from there graph and they with then choose one of the sheets available from edexcel (I have put three on the PowerPoint as suggestions but actually there are quite a few for this topic) Other sheets could be used. Plenary- match up words to definitions

CP3e Non renewable energy (over two lessons)

(0)
Resource based on the edexcel 2016 spec (9-1) aimed at a lower ability year 10 group but can work for others as well. I did this over two lessons as the practical took some time Starter- Simple starter naming types of energy Main: Brief discussion about non renewable energy and how power stations work then pupils used the edexcel worksheet to build a working turbine. I have also included some differentiated worksheets (A3 size) I used for a slightly different lesson which you may wish to adapt. In the second lesson We then looked at changing trend in fuel use. The graph on the powerpoints was printed off in colour and pupils answered questions off the powerpoint. Then pupils used the edexcel task sheets and tasks off the board to complete.
