Complete lesson on Refraction with key content from AQA Physics. Starter uses two simple demo's to show refraction with fun 'tricks' The main uses the refraction experiment with a clear guide on method, can also use prism experiment to show refraction of white light into different colours for discussion. Key relationships of different density substances explained and also refraction itself explained with visuals. Challenge task on how corrective lenses work Plenary uses simple exam style question.

Complete lesson on Sound with key content from AQA Physics. Starter uses simple task to get pupils thinking about how sound can be represented and how these may look like different sounds. The lesson contains the bell jar and oscilloscope but as these often require a specialist or dedicated time to use links to on-line simulators are included which shows these very clearly and are easy to use. The on-line oscilloscope allows you to change the frequency and amplitude of an audible sound the class can hear allowing you to question them on the wave changes and effects. Also included is a short description and discussion of echoes. End of lesson uses a written task for pupils to summarise the key points on volume and pitch. This can then be peer marked by the class using the guidance provided and then pupils can act on this feedback as homework. More lessons to in same format for P1. https://www.tes.com/member/Nteach

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on Energy resources and environment + Supply and Demand written in line with new AQA Physics specification. All questions provided with answers within power point. Lesson Objectives: Describe the environmental impact arising from the use of different energy resources Identify why some energy resources are more reliable than others Explain patterns and trends in the use of energy resources Consider the environmental issues that may arise from the use of different energy resources Discuss environmental issues arising from the use of energy resources in relation to political, social, ethical and economic aspects.

New GCSE AQA Physics lesson on 'Atoms and Radiation' written in line with new AQA Physics specification. Lesson provides a basic introduction to the unit of Nuclear Radiation, ideal for introduction and low ability groups. Starter prompts pupils to write or draw what they know about nuclear radiation onto a post-it note, this can then be reviewed by the teacher to start a discussion on misconceptions and highlighting good knowledge. A brief background on the discovery of radiation is given in relation to Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie. A simple explanation of nuclear radiation is given with some review of the nucleus and ionising radiation. Detection of radiation is highlight with a Geiger-muller tube and counter. The three types of nuclear radiations are stated and the nature of random nuclear decay is highlighted. The lesson concludes with a fun true or false about nuclear radiation with some videos to offer further explanation where appropriate. A summary worksheet is provided. Lesson Objectives: - Explain what a radioactive substance is & what makes a substance radioactive. - Explain how radioactivity can be detected. - Recall the different types of radiation that is emitted from a radioactive substance. - Explain what is meant by ‘nuclear decay’.

A collection of 50 cool Science GIF images (short animations) showing various interesting science principles across Physics, Chemistry & Biology. Can use as starters or plenaries to discuss....or simply because they look really interesting. (Apologies, previous uploaded in error. Now all with titles of experiment in GIF)
