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.
GCSE Physics - Acceleration calculations

GCSE Physics - Acceleration calculations

(0)
Structured, scaffolded acceleration calculations. These calculations encourage students to start with calculating acceleration and they end with rearranging the equation to calculate time or final velocity. All data is real data. Now with added answers.
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!

ncrumptonncrumpton

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.

ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Force on a Spring and Elastic Potential Energy calculations

(0)
A scaffolded worksheet to help students with calculating the Force on a spring given the extension and the spring constant using F=ke. It then goes on to get students to calculate elastic potential energy in the same situations using E=0.5ke^2 This worksheet comes with an Answer sheet as well!

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.
AC/DC Lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

AC/DC Lesson plan and presentation

(0)
This is a lesson plan and presentation to introduce the idea of AC/DC. It starts with a game of "what's the link?" encouraging lateral thinking. It then goes on to detail AC and DC and the differences between them.
Resistance calculations

Resistance calculations

(0)
A worksheet of resistance calculations. Uses both Ohm's Law and the rules for resistors in a series and parallel circuit. Suitable as a lesson resource or a homework.
GCSE Physics - Density calculations
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Density calculations

(0)
A differentiated worksheet for practicing density calculations. It starts off with using the formula in its standard form then progresses to rearranging the formula. All data is real data. This is designed for the new GCSE in Physics. Also included in the download are the worked answers!
