GCSE Physics Required Practical 4b - Resistance of a lamp

(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.

Energy changes due to temperature (specific heat capacity) Lesson plan and presentation

(0)
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.
Electromagnetic radiation splat

Electromagnetic radiation splat

(0)
An animated PowerPoint file that enables you to play splat. Have a list of questions where the answers are parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and have two students at the board. The first person to "splat" the right answer wins. Winner stays on is always a good game but you can rotate in teams or anyway you like. Excellent for revision of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Kinetic energy calculations

Kinetic energy calculations

(2)
Real life kinetic energy calculations for students to practice. Starts off with a worked example and progressively gets harder. There are also a couple of questions that require conversions from grammes to kg. Excellent introduction to the formula but also good revision practice.
Trilogy Physics Equation test sheet

Exit ticket template

(0)
An exit ticket template that can be used for any lesson. Created in the style of a British Railway ticket. Provided in word format so you can edit the name on the ticket for your own. Great way to capture learning from the lesson or use as a recap. Not valid for travel! Can be printed onto Avery or Lyreco labels so you can stick them in to student books once they have been reviewed.
Powers of Ten and Standard Form Lesson plan and presentation

Powers of Ten and Standard Form Lesson plan and presentation

(1)
The lesson plan and accompanying presentation for Science students to learn about standard form, aka scientific notation, and common prefixes. The PPT is fully editable and has opportunities for AfL embedded into the lesson. Any images are CC0 license so royalty free. This takes students from guesstimating size, to understanding the need for standard form to recognising standard prefixes such as kilo. There is an accompanying homework task (available separately) - 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.
