A lesson plan and presentation to cover the energy changes in a system and specific heat capacity part of the new GCSE (2016) Physics and AQA Trilogy specification. Refers to required practical 1 - a FREE worksheet for this is also available from me, made from the AQA required practical document. Introduces specific heat capacity and then provides time for students to reflect on required practical.

A fantastic poster of interesting science books for KS4 students to read. Accompanied by a much longer list of recommended reading for those interested in science.

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.

A set of Pictionary cards for Y9 chemistry. Covers topics such as burning, carbon dioxide, mass. A fun starter activity to get students thinking about the keywords we use in science. Can easily be expanded using the file as a template as well.

Complete lesson plan and presentation for GCSE Physics pendula. This introduces the concept of increasing length, mass and drop height and the effect on period. Calculations involving period and frequency are included. It references the standard AQA practical for pendula wherre students investigate the effect of increasing the length, mas or drop height of the pendulum to see what effect it has on period.

A complete lesson plan and presentation about hydraulics and pressure. Includes worked examples of exam questions to show students how best to address these challenges.

A template for creating your own taboo game. All you have to do is fill in the topics on the cards and print them out. Students then describe the item at the top of the cards without using any of the words on the card.

A worksheet to give practice of drawing sketch graphs for the new GCSE Sciences, Biology, CHemistry and Physics. This teaches students how to draw a sketch graph then there is practise for them to have a go at. Answers are included! There is also a YouTube video instructing them on how to draw a sketch graph - this could all be set for homework.

A set of loop cards that are perfect for revision of the key principles of nuclear radiation. Covers the structure of the atom, types of radiation, penetration powers and isotopes.

A fully featured lesson plan, presentation and worksheet that introduces students to scalar and vector quantities. They learn about magnitude and direction and classify different quantities as scalar or vector. The PPT then takes them through drawing magnitude arrows and then how to draw vector diagrams from this. The worksheet gives them plenty of practice at drawing simple vector diagrams.

A complete lesson to introduce nuclear equations. The students are introduced to how to write alpha, beta, gamma and neutrons for nuclear equations and then there is practice opportunities for them. There is also a worksheet to complete which is available separately here Nuclear equations worksheet

This worksheet is aimed at Foundation Tier students. The worksheet is scaffolded so they can get going quickly and make progress. The sheet progresses in challenge as indicated by circle, triangle, square and there is a super challenge question where they have to rearrange the formula first. This worksheet is suitable for GCSE Physics and GCSE Combined Science.

A scaffolded worksheet and answers for the new 9-1 GCSE Scheme. This takes students through the process of calculating final speed using v^2-u^2=2as. It then encourages them to re-arrange the formula and calculate speed. All data is real data for the vehicles quoted.

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!

A knowledge organiser for the basic knowledge of atomic theory. It covers everything from strcuture of the atom through half-life to nuclear equations all on one A4 sheet. This is an excellent revision aid and can be used for look, cover, write, check or testing each other or many different uses.

This has the main topic headings for the Combined Science Paper 1 grouped according to topic. Each required practical is highlighted. This can be used as a revision aid for students to work through and identify areas to work on or they can add to and improve the mind map with detail although it may want to be blown up onto A3 for this.
