Resistance calculations

(0)
A worksheet of resistance calculations. Uses both Ohm's Law and the rules for resistors in a series and parallel circuit. Suitable as a lesson resource or a homework.
GCSE Physics - Structure of the atom lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Structure of the atom lesson plan and presentation

(0)
Lesson plan, presentation and worksheets for a lesson about the modern day view of the structure of the atom. This follows on from the previous lesson about the development of the atomic model. It highlights relative sizes of the parts of the atom and introduces students to ions and isotopes.
GCSE Physics Energy, Charge and Potential Difference calculations
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics Energy, Charge and Potential Difference calculations

(0)
A scaffolded worksheet of 10 questions to help students practice using E=QV. This worksheet takes them through how to lay out calculations and rearrange them using the triangle method. There is also a tricky question at the end that links back to prior learning using Q=It as well. Answers included!
GCSE Physics - Scalar and Vector Quantities lesson plan, presentation and worksheet
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Scalar and Vector Quantities lesson plan, presentation and worksheet

(0)
A fully featured lesson plan, presentation and worksheet that introduces students to scalar and vector quantities. They learn about magnitude and direction and classify different quantities as scalar or vector. The PPT then takes them through drawing magnitude arrows and then how to draw vector diagrams from this. The worksheet gives them plenty of practice at drawing simple vector diagrams.

GCSE Physics - Atomic Theory Knowledge organiser
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Atomic Theory Knowledge organiser

(0)
A knowledge organiser for the basic knowledge of atomic theory. It covers everything from strcuture of the atom through half-life to nuclear equations all on one A4 sheet. This is an excellent revision aid and can be used for look, cover, write, check or testing each other or many different uses.
GCSE Physics - Transformer equations VpIp=VsIs
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Transformer equations VpIp=VsIs

(0)
The first in a series of transformer equation worksheets. This worksheet takes students through calculating the power of a transformer using P=IV and then ultimately onto calculating potential difference and current in one or other of the primary or secondary coils.
GCSE Physics Light, lenses and TIR complete lessons
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics Light, lenses and TIR complete lessons

4 Resources
A bundle of resources for teaching the majority of the aspects of light for GCSE Physics. The lessons cover critical angle, Total Internal Reflection, Ray diagrams and their drawing, power of a lens, refractive index.
GCSE Physics - Moments and cantilevers lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Moments and cantilevers lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A GCSE Physics lesson plan and presentation that introduces moments and cantilevers to students. They need to complete the cantilever practical as specified in the AQA resources - measuring deflection when masses are added to a clamped metre rule. This introduces key terms and ideas. Please review my work ;-) Thanks for buying.
Exit ticket template
ncrumptonncrumpton

Exit ticket template

(0)
An exit ticket template that can be used for any lesson. Created in the style of a British Railway ticket. Provided in word format so you can edit the name on the ticket for your own. Great way to capture learning from the lesson or use as a recap. Not valid for travel! Can be printed onto Avery or Lyreco labels so you can stick them in to student books once they have been reviewed.
Circuit symbol Card sort
ncrumptonncrumpton

Circuit symbol Card sort

(0)
The common circuit symbols that students are expected to know for GCSE Science. These are produced so you can print them out, cut them up and have a card sort activity. Print them onto different colours of card and laminate to make a long lasting resource. Covers all the common circuit symbols, switch, cell, battery, diode, resistor, variable resistor, LED, lamp, fuse, voltmeter, ammeter, thermistor and LDR. Also suitable for KS2 and KS3.
Physics Taboo 2
ncrumptonncrumpton

Physics Taboo 2

(1)
Taboo card game covering the main topics for Physics 2: electricity, motion, forces, stars. Motion: Speed, velocity, acceleration, terminal velocity, stopping distances etc. Electricity: AC, Mains, Static, plugs, resistance etc. Stars: Lifecycle, nuclear processes - fission and fusion Students play in teams of two. One person picks up a card and has to describe the phrase in the top box without using any of the words on the card. Their team mate has to guess it to win. The opposing two members of the four can jump in and steal the card by guessing correctly.
Powers of Ten and Standard Form Lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

Powers of Ten and Standard Form Lesson plan and presentation

(1)
The lesson plan and accompanying presentation for Science students to learn about standard form, aka scientific notation, and common prefixes. The PPT is fully editable and has opportunities for AfL embedded into the lesson. Any images are CC0 license so royalty free. This takes students from guesstimating size, to understanding the need for standard form to recognising standard prefixes such as kilo. There is an accompanying homework task (available separately) - Powers of Ten, Prefixes and Standard form Homework/worksheet.
Electromagnetic radiation splat

Electromagnetic radiation splat

(0)
An animated PowerPoint file that enables you to play splat. Have a list of questions where the answers are parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and have two students at the board. The first person to "splat" the right answer wins. Winner stays on is always a good game but you can rotate in teams or anyway you like. Excellent for revision of the electromagnetic spectrum.
GCSE Physics Required Practical 9 - Light
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics Required Practical 9 - Light

(1)
This has been produced as an extract of the AQA required practical document. It is designed to be printed two pages to a page and flip on short edge to form a booklet that students can then stick in their books. This is for required practical 9 - Light. The content is from AQA and the layout and formatting is my own. AQA may change the contents of their practical this is correct as of 20-10-2016.
