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 - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A detailed lesson plan and presentation about Electric fields. It takes the student through looking at magnetism as a non-contact force and then applying this knowledge to electrostatics whilst looking at similarities. They then progress to drawing field diagrams and writing explanations of electrostatic repulsion and the triboelectric effect. Thanks for looking. Don't forget to review if you buy!
Physics Taboo
ncrumptonncrumpton

Physics Taboo

(0)
A set of game cards for Taboo covering the basic topics of Physics: Energy, Waves, Origins of the Universe, Energy transfers, Conduction, Convection, Radiation. 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. This is an ideal revision activity as it forces the students to describe the topic without using key words. This increases understanding.
