I am currently a Teacher of Science and I have a background in Telecomms and Software Engineering. I can occasionally be found on BBC Radio Shropshire as their Science Teacher. I enjoy finding innovative ways to help students revise and have developed the Grade Gain app for Science revision.

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.
Powers of Ten and Standard Form Lesson plan and presentation

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.
Powers of Ten, Prefixes and Standard Form Homework/Worksheet

Powers of Ten, Prefixes and Standard Form Homework/Worksheet

(0)
This resource is an opportunity for students to practice converting to common prefixes such as micro, milli etc. and converting numbers to standard form or scientific notation. There are 20 questions for them to complete and I have included the answers as well! This is aimed at Science students for the new maths content within the new GCSE (2016) for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC but it would be equally suitable for anyone needing to practice standard form so any Maths students. It is designed as a homework but can equally well be used as a lesson activity. This resource is designed to accompany my Powers of Ten lesson (available separately) which is a good introduction to this worksheet.

(8)
A complete list of all the Physics Equations that must be memorised for the new (2016) GCSE exams. Both word and symbol format. This is suitable for all exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC). A useful checklist to have at the front of student books to enable them time to learn them. More Physics resources available here GradeGain
Electromagnetic Spectrum Card sort

Electromagnetic Spectrum Card sort

(0)
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.
Wave speed calculations

Wave speed calculations

(0)
A worksheet that takes students through how to answer exam style questions on wave speed, frequency and wavelength. There are worked examples followed by an opportunity for students to practice their skills. It reinforces the technique of making sure students show their working out and makes sure they remember the units. Comes complete with answers.
Ohm's Law Calculations Worksheet

Ohm's Law Calculations Worksheet

(0)
Exactly what it says, a few practice calculations using Ohm's Law for GCSE Physics. There is a worked example to start with and then students quickly progress to completing their own calculations. Useful as a starter activity or revision for students who are struggling with the mathematics behind Ohm's Law. This is a differentiated resource that enables student to develop confidence with Ohm's Law. For a more difficult worksheet please see this resource: Ohm's Law

Flash Cards for all the Common Quantities and Units

(0)
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.

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.
