Momentum GCSE

(0)
An interesting lesson which looks at the momentum equation and it’s application, and provides plenty of opportunities to practice.
Mass and Weight GCSE
martinblake1martinblake1

Mass and Weight GCSE

(0)
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.
Electric Charge KS3 Physics

Electric Charge KS3 Physics

(0)
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
GCSE Physics Nuclear Equations

GCSE Physics Nuclear Equations

(0)
A lesson powerpoint for students doing Edexcel 9-1, though it is transferable. Covers Alpha and Beta- decay with explanation, examples, and practice equations.
CP6 Radiation Summary Lesson
martinblake1martinblake1

CP6 Radiation Summary Lesson

(0)
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.
GCSE Physics Motion Revision Lesson
martinblake1martinblake1

GCSE Physics Motion Revision Lesson

(0)
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.

GCSE Radioactive Penetration

(0)
EDEXCEL, AQA, OCR Learning objectives: Name and describe the structure of ionizing radiation types Compare the penetration rates Lesson has starter, required information, plenary, AFL opportunities and differentiation. Slide 1 is the detailed lesson plan, with topic misconceptions. I have also included a keyword crossword.

Wave Interference KS3

(0)
A lesson on wave interference and application in everyday life for KS3 students or low-level KS4 students. Comes with a plan, a complete powerpoint, and the accompanying worksheet. Learning Objectives Suggest what happens when 2 waves combine. Apply the concept of interference in everyday life. Evaluate how to reduce interference in sound waves.
Longitudinal Waves KS3
martinblake1martinblake1

Longitudinal Waves KS3

(0)
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

(0)
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.
Energy Conservation GCSE Physics AQA
martinblake1martinblake1

Energy Conservation GCSE Physics AQA

(0)
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.
Physics of Christmas - Festive Equation Practice

Physics of Christmas - Festive Equation Practice

(0)
A festive powerpoint lesson on physics equations for GCSE students. Ten taxing questions and some fun nerdy facts about Santa to keep those physics classes busy before christmas. Excellent end of term lesson for higher sets or just to fill a gap. There's even a *unit to value* starter. All answers are revealed on the slides. Equations are: v=d/t, a=(v-u)/t, W=mg, f=1/t, E=mgh, Ek = 0.5mv2 - rearrangement to v F=ma I=V/R E=QV Q=It

Physics - Celestial Objects - The Moon

(0)
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.
