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.

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.

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.
Momentum GCSE

AS Physics OCR A - Moving Charges

(0)
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.
