A powerpoint lesson on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, Binary Stars, and nuclear fusion.

A powerpoint presentation/lesson on velocity for KS3 students or low level KS4. Learning Objectives Recall the difference between scalers and vectors To describe the difference between speed and velocity To calculate velocity of a falling object Starter - speed calculation Definitions of scalar and vector with exercise Clear explanation of speed vs velocity Practical activity using falling paper cake cases Plenary questions All calculations are answered in the slides.

A consideration of how the sun is powered via nuclear fusion. Can be used with interested students, A level students, or a high ability GCSE class.

A powerpoint about measuring distance in space. Covers radar, cepheids. supernovae, red shift. Includes worksheet

A lesson on longitudinal waves for KS3 students in physics. They learn about sound waves, longitudinal waves, and then apply to P and S waves in seismic activity. Comes with a plan, powerpoint and relevant worksheets. Learning Objectives Be able to describe a longitudinal wave Define the terms: rarefaction and compression and describe the properties of different types of waves. Describe and explain a model of a longitudinal wave

A lesson for KS3 students or low level GCSE, introduces the concept of atoms, charge, how charges can be transferred, and some of the risks associated with charged materials. Lesson comes fully planned (just follow the ppt), and includes an activity with a plasma ball (if you've got one; if not, just leave it out!). There's a link to a youtube video called electric graffiti in the ppt as well (it's 14 min long but worth it, the students always like watching it). NB: I deliberately avoided using the Van der Graaf generator, as I wanted to save it for GCSE. Learning Objectives: To recall structure of atom To describe how charges can be transferred To describe and explain the risks and precaution of using charge

A powerpoint lesson with diagrams, worked examples, and questions for AS Physics students studying OCR A.

A lesson for AS Physics students which covers density equation, pressure in solids, liquids and gases, upthrust, and archimedes principle. There are practice exam questions to check learning (with answers).

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.

A trio of DART activities for GCSE physics, but could be used with higher level earlier years.

A powerpoint which considers structure, rotation, orbital characteristics, Van-Allen belt, and distinctive lunar features, for curious, high ability students. Designed for a discussive lesson. One activity that could be done is to use a labelled photo of the moon to teach the order of the Mares, which my students enjoyed immensely.

A lesson on energy conservation for GCSE Physics. Designed for AQA 2016 but transferable to OCR , EDEXCEL. Students begin by simply naming energy forms They learn the law of energy conservation (with prompt questions) They then complete an energy carousel (or simply fill out the sheet if you like) Then they learn about wasted energy, energy units, and energy transfer diagrams. Students calculate and complete missing values. Then they learn about Sankey diagrams. To finish, they draw and interpret a Sankey diagram using given info. As always, answers are on the slides. Please leave a review.

Powerpoint/Discussive lessons on science funding and politics. Politics looks at the role of the government and their role, as well as pressure groups and their importance. Funding looks at the money and where it comes from. It considers the pros and cons of state funding for scientific pursuit, as well as the pros and cons of private sources.

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 fun and interesting lesson, which looks at mass, weight, and gravity. It comes with a data analysis starter, and includes a few videos for free (including Apollo 11 moon landing, Apollo 16 feather and hamemr, and Brian Cox in a vacuum chamber). These videos are also available on youtube if the files don’t work.

A lesson on resolving motion on an inclined plane with examples and questions to support the learning.

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

A powerpoint lesson which explores the future of space travel. Designed to simply promote discussion with an interested class and get the students thinking.

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 powerpoint for students doing Edexcel 9-1, though it is transferable. Covers Alpha and Beta- decay with explanation, examples, and practice equations.
