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.
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.

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.
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!
