A sheet to help practice drawing and spelling circuit symbols. Suitable for both KS3 and KS4. Ideal for lower ability students.

This is a fun activity to help students learn the order of the electromagnetic spectrum. I print out the colour sheets and laminate them so students can hold them up, then get them to arrange themselves into the right order. They need to look for the visual clues to help them e.g. colours and wavelength on the background. This could be printed out in a smaller version e.g. 2 slides to a page and students can then do this in pairs or small groups. Great as an introduction to the electromagnetic spectrum but also good a s a revision activity.

Taboo game cards covering the main Physics topics: Lenses, Motor Effect, Pressure, Centripetal force, Moments 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.

A sheet to enable students to practice their spelling of key words in Physics. The commonly misspelled keywords are included along with space to add your own. Use this over a period of weeks to improve the spelling of key words. Helps improve literacy.

This is a complete lesson plan and presentation for the new GCSE (2016). It introduces the idea of an Ohmic conductor and students complete Required practical 4a - IV graph for an Ohmic conductor.

A lesson plan and presentation introducing static electricity and the triboelectric effect. There are links to a couple of you tube videos that emphasise the points being made. This lesson also details a practical that students can do to experience the triboelectric effect for themselves.

This has the main topic headings for the Combined Science Paper 1 grouped according to topic. Each required practical is highlighted. This can be used as a revision aid for students to work through and identify areas to work on or they can add to and improve the mind map with detail although it may want to be blown up onto A3 for this.

A complete lesson for the new GCSE(2016) Physics and Combined science specification. This lesson covers series circuits, their construction, measurements of current and voltage and calculations of resistance using Ohm's Law.

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.

A complete lesson plan and PPT presentation about parallel circuits for new GCSE(2016). Covers all the main topics, measuring current and voltage, calculating resistance and understanding why resistance in a parallel circuit decreases the more branches there are.

A structured resource to help students research the environmental effects of different energy production methods.

This sheet enables students to keep a record of the required practicals that they have completed. They can see at a glance if they need to catch any up and then act on it.

I have reworked the required practical from AQA as using cells did not provide sufficient variability or control for collecting data on a diode. This practical sheet provides detailed instructions of how to set up the circuit and gather the data including how to do this using LEDs instead of a diode.

These flash cards are great when printed out double sided and then laminated. Can be used in multiple ways - as flash cards to test the whole class, as small cards for pupils to play pelmanism (memory) with. Printed single sided they can be used as a card sort activity. Covers all the common GCSE units for Physics.

Sheet designed to help pupils learn the spellings of keywords from the latter half of the Physics syllabus. Covers all the commonly misspelled words such as Fission and Fusion. Improves literacy of the students.

A handy reference guide of all the units and symbols in GCSE Physics. Can be used as a sheet to learn and then have a pop quiz on the symbols. Students need to know all of these as units are always worth marks in the exam.

Designed for AQA Trilogy course but suitable to all double award GCSE courses this resource is a handy guide for students to refer to if they need to look up a symbol and its corresponding unit. It is a good tool to help them memorise the units as they can do look, cover, write, check with it. There are a multitude of ways you can use this.

A tracking sheet that lets your students keep track of which required practicals they have done. They can see at a glance if they have missed any and act upon it.

A lesson plan, presentation and worksheet that takes students through an envoy exercise to discover the development of the atomic model. It covers Democritus, Dalton, Thompson, Rutherford, Bohr and Chadwick. There are demonstrations in the lesson plan that bring to life the different atomic models. Please check out my other resources available at my shop GradeGain. Thanks

Complete lesson detailed on a PPT presentation explaining how to calculate the power of a lens.
