GCSE Physics - Free body diagrams and vector diagrams worksheet
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Free body diagrams and vector diagrams worksheet

(0)
A worksheet aimed at helping students to draw Free Body Diagrams. It also gives them the opportunity to calculate resultant forces and vectors based on information provided. Finally they get to draw vector diagrams to combine vectors to find a resultant. Aimed at GCSE Physics but also suitable for combined science.

GCSE Physics - Work Done lesson plan, presentation and worksheet

(0)
A full lesson plan, presentation, worksheet and answers for students studying GCSE Physics or the Combined Science GCSE. It covers Work Done and gives exemplar calculations. The worksheet has differentiated questions that builds on students knowledge until they are able to rearrange the equation and calculate forces or distances.
GCSE Physics Parallel Circuits lesson plan and presentation

GCSE Physics Parallel Circuits lesson plan and presentation

(0)
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.
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.
Physics Taboo

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.

ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Contact and non-contact forces lesson plan, presentation and worksheets

(0)
A lesson plan, presentation, and worksheets for teaching about forces. Contact and non-contact forces are covered as is drawing of vector diagrams of forces. Students apply this to real world situations in the summary task. Aimed at GCSE Physics students and GCSE AQA Trilogy but also suitable for all other exam boards. This is one of a sequence of lessons, the others are available here Grade Gain

GCSE Physics Required Practical 5 - Density

(3)
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 5 - Density. 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 07-07-2016.

GCSE Physics Required practical 4c - Resistance of a diode

(0)
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 4 - Resistance. 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 07-07-2016. I have split it into 3 different practicals as that is how I prefer to teach it. They are 4a, 4b and 4c.
