Covers spec CP1 TO CP2.10 Physics Revision lesson for Motion
Includes:
Starter
Specification statements
Range of questions timed on each ppt slide.
Answers included.
While specific to edexcel, is transferable to OCR and AQA. Just edit the statements.
A powerpoint covering the specification points for Hooke’s law including:
material deformation terms
Hooke’s Law equation and application
Force Constant
series and parallel spring constant equation
Force Extension graphs
Technique for Force extension characteristics in springs
Area under graph = Work Done
Suitable for KS3 and low level KS4 classes
Learning Objectives
To define heat transfer by radiation
To describe an example of radiation
To explain why radiation occurs
Simple starter identifying likely heat loss points on a house
Quick exposition
Definitions of heat transfer
Thermograms
Practical Activity: comparing material and heat loss
Solar radiation
Q & A plenary
A lesson with lots of board tasks to prepare students for either an end of unit test or revision for the final exams.
Each set of tasks attempts to tackle a small number of the Edexcel 9-1 specification statements for radioactivity.
Useful to spot gaps, and also to fill them in.
I found the lesson went extremely fast.
All the tasks are timed appropriately with a disappearing clock.
A lesson on payback time and insulation methods in the home for GCSE Physics AQA
Objectives:
Be able to outline methods of insulation

What you get for your buck:
A supporting powerpoint
Example calculations (on ppt)
A worksheet with a challenge question
A lesson on scalar and vector quantities, outlining the definitions, in preparation for GCSE physics.
Physics units starter
Supporting powerpoint with problems and examples
Worksheet identifying scalar and vector quantities
Calculating Fnet worksheet on parallel vectors
Challenge worksheet (good for extension, homework, differentiation)
My assignments and a summary of the course content for planning purposes for Unit 44 Astronomy BTEC Level 3. Useful if you are looking for a starting point for your own assignments or you simply don't have the time to write brand new work.
In this resource you get:
6 complete assignments which have passed external moderation
A summary of the course content
A short test on the solar system
Notes on the effects of space travel on human beings
Spectral Class information
A homework activity on space observatories
A worksheet on sun structure
A worksheet on origins of the universe
A consolidation AQA P2 lesson on F=ma, v=d/t, a=(v-u)/t, d/t graphs, v/t graphs used in a successful lesson observation with a class of 31 students at mid to high grade ability.
Order of Business:
*The formulas, units, abbreviations
*Describing motion on v/t graphs
*4 Group activity using worksheets (slides 18 to 25 print back to back). Students complete the front page. Worksheet activities differentiated by science group (Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Hawking)
*Science Groups change to number groups and share answers on reverse of worksheet as experts.
Calculate distance on v/t graphs
Plenary Question
NB/ You may wish to change the example problems on the worksheet/ppt to include your name instead of mine.
A grade laddered lesson with lots of calculations with practice exam questions at the end.
Order of business...
Starter - match the energy type
Draw energy transfer diagrams
Calculate energy conservation
Calculate efficiency
Use Sankey diagrams
Exam questions
Print slide 22 or the attached worksheet files
A basic powerpoint lesson on force = mass x acceleration.
Starter - Discussion on laws of motion
Share Equation and practice Qs
Gravity, mass & weight
Practice Qs
What you get for your money:
A revision calendar from 1st Sept to July 2015
AQA Science A Core & Additional content statements in a numbered list for each unit.
As the title suggests, a simple excel revision calendar for year 11 2015 to 2016 cohort. It includes all the AQA content statements and works on the basis that students study one statement from each discipline a night.
It provides structure for students who simply don't know where to start, tells them what to revise and when.
Useful from the beginning of the year, but if you're coming to it later, adjust the dates/statements to match the time left. AQA exam dates and holidays are marked on, and obviously can be changed to suit timeframe needs.
ALSO, if the calendar isn't for you but you are looking for a complete microsoft friendly list of AQA specification content statements for core and additional science, then this is for you; just copy and paste.
Best printed on A3 but will fit on A4 double sided, if you don't object to small font.
A straightforward lesson on power equation, running costs and power ratings with lots of calculation practice.
There is a supporting powerpoint and a worksheet differentiated D to C/C to A included which provides further examples.
Supporting Powerpoint for OCR A.
Includes notes on:
dynamic vs static electricity
movement of electrons and ions.
conductors and insulators
Conventional current vs electron flow
Showing a plasma ball is optional and not on the specification but its weird and cool and the students like it. This also applies to the Van Der Graaf Generator if you have one.
These are just simple homework sheets to help with definitions. More to be added as I do them. I found they worked well at the end of a unit and just reiterated some of the main keywords expected at KS3. Obviously these can be catered for different classes and abilities. Hope they help. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment. I can take it *sob.
For OCR Applied Science A-level - Working Waves External Assessment unit G635.
In this pack is a large (very large) powerpoint covering each statement in the specification (one statement per slide generally). The optical fibre stuff gave me a headache so apologies if I'm missing anything.
I've also included some exam questions interspersed with the relevant markschemes for revison purposes, taken from Exam papers 2011 to 2014.
