A complete list of all the Physics Equations that must be memorised for the new (2016) GCSE exams. Both word and symbol format. This is suitable for all exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC). A useful checklist to have at the front of student books to enable them time to learn them. More Physics resources available here GradeGain

This is a fun activity to help students learn the order of the electromagnetic spectrum. I print out the colour sheets and laminate them so students can hold them up, then get them to arrange themselves into the right order. They need to look for the visual clues to help them e.g. colours and wavelength on the background. This could be printed out in a smaller version e.g. 2 slides to a page and students can then do this in pairs or small groups. Great as an introduction to the electromagnetic spectrum but also good a s a revision activity.

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.

A handy reference guide of all the units and symbols in GCSE Physics. Can be used as a sheet to learn and then have a pop quiz on the symbols. Students need to know all of these as units are always worth marks in the exam.

Exactly what it says, a few practice calculations using Ohm's Law for GCSE Physics. There is a worked example to start with and then students quickly progress to completing their own calculations. Useful as a starter activity or revision for students who are struggling with the mathematics behind Ohm's Law. This is a differentiated resource that enables student to develop confidence with Ohm's Law. For a more difficult worksheet please see this resource: Ohm's Law

These flash cards are great when printed out double sided and then laminated. Can be used in multiple ways - as flash cards to test the whole class, as small cards for pupils to play pelmanism (memory) with. Printed single sided they can be used as a card sort activity. Covers all the common GCSE units for Physics.

Sheet designed to help pupils learn the spellings of keywords from the latter half of the Physics syllabus. Covers all the commonly misspelled words such as Fission and Fusion. Improves literacy of the students.

A sheet to enable students to practice their spelling of key words in Physics. The commonly misspelled keywords are included along with space to add your own. Use this over a period of weeks to improve the spelling of key words. Helps improve literacy.

Taboo game cards covering the main Physics topics: Lenses, Motor Effect, Pressure, Centripetal force, Moments 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.

Taboo card game covering the main topics for Physics 2: electricity, motion, forces, stars. Motion: Speed, velocity, acceleration, terminal velocity, stopping distances etc. Electricity: AC, Mains, Static, plugs, resistance etc. Stars: Lifecycle, nuclear processes - fission and fusion 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.

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.

A sheet to help practice drawing and spelling circuit symbols. Suitable for both KS3 and KS4. Ideal for lower ability students.

Worked examples of the three different types of half-life calculations followed by four questions to complete. Suitable for GCSE and iGCSE. Can be used for initial teaching or as a revision tool. Suitable for Higher Tier students.
