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

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

A powerpoint lesson on oxidation and reduction for KS4 Chemistry students Includes Definitions and explanations OILRIG Questions and Answers Displacement Reaction Practical Guide using dropping tiles Ionic half equations Exam questions

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 powerpoint lesson on Atmospheric Pressure for KS3 Physics Students Learning Objectives: Explain why pressure decreases the higher the altitude Understand how a barometer works Explain why boiling point decreases the higher the altitude Includes: A starter Explanations AFL activities Simple practical Plenary - the story of the Thief and the Mountain Execution

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 for AS Physics students covering triangle of forces, with notes, examples and questions

This behaviour flowchart was designed for a specific school behaviour policy, however it can be easily adapted to suit. The important thing is it’s kept as simple as possible. Useful for teachers who can find confusing behavioural policies a bit much in the heat of the moment, and don't have phone numbers to hand on their mobile.

A lesson on payback time and insulation methods in the home for GCSE Physics AQA Objectives: Be able to outline methods of insulation Describe R-value Calculate Payback Time 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.

Used for a successful interview lesson (1hr). Learning Objectives: Know names and formulae of common acids and alkalis Explain qualitatively what weak and strong acids are Predict the outcomes of neutralisation reactions, including writing balanced symbol equations Includes: differentiation extension activities exam questions answers for everything (which is always nice)

A collection of case notes on pathological diseases designed for BTEC Level 3 Unit 43 Diseases. Used correctly, they can provide a starting point to show students how to write informative case notes without stealing large tracts of info from wiki, as well as provide a nice resource for struggling students to start from. They could also be used as short reading material for studying disease at any secondary level. Each case note contains basic symptoms, etiology, epidemiology, treatment options.

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.

For OCR Applied Science at A-level. G622 Monitoring the Activity of the Human Body Revision Booklets Part 1: Structure and function of the circulatory system Part 2: Structure and Function of the respiratory system Part 3: Respiration in Energy Terms Part 4: Physiological Measurements Part 5 in progress.

How to plan a 1hr science lesson: NB/ Note for the wary. This is how I do it. It’s not the only way. I used this resource to support trainee teachers to develop their lesson structure and provide a rough guide to how a lesson evolves to the end. They seemed happy. Included is a breakdown of the different stages of a lesson following the principle of: Starter Guided Learning Guided Practice Independent Practice Plenary Each stage is explained with do’s and don’ts A sample lesson plan template A Lesson Plan Checklist.
