My lessons are comprehensive, well organised and promote high levels of pupil engagement. They contain a high number of challenge tasks that are built into the lesson resources to stretch even the most able.
I have also started an Instagram flash card account that pupils can follow for physics revision as they scroll. The account is called physicsflash
