GCSE Physics Energy Transfer Calculations

(0)
A differentiated resource leading students through the usage of E = Pt Energy, Power and Time calculations. This gives students an opportunity to reinforce their learning of the equation and chance to practice completing questions. Ten questions, scaffolded to start with then gradually allowing them to work on their own. It also involves some conversion of units on the harder questions. Complete with all the answers.

GCSE Physics Energy Transfers Lesson plan, presentation and worksheets

(0)
A complete lesson plan, PPT and worksheets with answers for teaching about Energy in Physics. Covers the two equations E=QV and E=Pt builds on concepts of charge, potential difference, power and time. Worksheets are scaffolded to help students practice completing calculations. The worksheets are available separately as well as being included here.
GCSE Physics - Power, current^2 and resistance calculations
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Power, current^2 and resistance calculations

(0)
A scaffolded worksheet allowing students to access the equation P=I^2R. They start by calculating the power and move onto rearranging the formula to calculate resistance. They end up having to use the square root to calculate current. All these are set in the context of real life.

Energy changes due to temperature (specific heat capacity) Lesson plan and presentation

(0)
A lesson plan and presentation to cover the energy changes in a system and specific heat capacity part of the new GCSE (2016) Physics and AQA Trilogy specification. Refers to required practical 1 - a FREE worksheet for this is also available from me, made from the AQA required practical document. Introduces specific heat capacity and then provides time for students to reflect on required practical.

National and Global energy resources lesson presentation and plan

(0)
A complete lesson for completing section 4.1.3 National and global energy resources of the AQA (2016) specification for Physics and Trilogy. This is a web quest based lesson where students work in groups either as jigsaw/home groups or envoys or pairs to research about different energy resources. Covers renewable/non-renewable resources and their environmental impact.

GCSE Physics - Pendula lesson plan and presentation

(0)
Complete lesson plan and presentation for GCSE Physics pendula. This introduces the concept of increasing length, mass and drop height and the effect on period. Calculations involving period and frequency are included. It references the standard AQA practical for pendula wherre students investigate the effect of increasing the length, mas or drop height of the pendulum to see what effect it has on period.
Taboo Template

Taboo Template

(0)
A template for creating your own taboo game. All you have to do is fill in the topics on the cards and print them out. Students then describe the item at the top of the cards without using any of the words on the card.
GCSE Science - Sketch Graphs

GCSE Science - Sketch Graphs

(0)
A worksheet to give practice of drawing sketch graphs for the new GCSE Sciences, Biology, CHemistry and Physics. This teaches students how to draw a sketch graph then there is practise for them to have a go at. Answers are included! There is also a YouTube video instructing them on how to draw a sketch graph - this could all be set for homework.

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.
