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.

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

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

Designed for an OCR A Physics lesson, this powerpoint has accompanying activities as well as exam practice questions. Covers: Acceleration, g, of free fall concept. Techniques and procedures used to determine the acceleration of free fall in the laboratory using trapdoor and electromagnet arrangement or light gates and timer.

A lesson for AS Physics students with notes, a practical method for solving irregular shapes, and practice exam questions (with answers)

A powerpoint with required notes (tied to OCR A specification): Includes an informative introductory video linked to Youtube I=Q/t Q=It Area under a current/time graph Elementary charge Positive and negative charge Net Charge Requirements of an electric circuit Practical True or False Exam question

A powerpoint which provides detailed notes on the planets of our solar system. There are reading activities within the powerpoint, but the lesson should be discussive. Primarily aimed at curious, high ability students.

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
