A handy list of quantities, units and their symbols

(0)
Designed for AQA Trilogy course but suitable to all double award GCSE courses this resource is a handy guide for students to refer to if they need to look up a symbol and its corresponding unit. It is a good tool to help them memorise the units as they can do look, cover, write, check with it. There are a multitude of ways you can use this.
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.
Work and power calculations worksheet

Questions on Ohm's Law

(0)
A series of more difficult questions on Ohm's Law compared to resource https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ohm-s-law-calculations-worksheet-11280608 These require students to convert between common prefix units e.g. mA and the SI unit. A useful homework to set or use as revision or even as a class activity.

GCSE Physics Required practical 3b - Resistors in series and parallel

(1)
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 3b - Resistors in Series and parallel. 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 2 different practicals as that is how I prefer to teach it. They are 3a and 3b.

Circuit symbol Card sort

(0)
The common circuit symbols that students are expected to know for GCSE Science. These are produced so you can print them out, cut them up and have a card sort activity. Print them onto different colours of card and laminate to make a long lasting resource. Covers all the common circuit symbols, switch, cell, battery, diode, resistor, variable resistor, LED, lamp, fuse, voltmeter, ammeter, thermistor and LDR. Also suitable for KS2 and KS3.
