This worksheet covers the 'bell in the vacuum' experiment and looks at why sound travels at different speeds in different mediums. Mainly aimed for a low ability group.

A worksheet based AC and DC currents, using the history of science talking about Edison and Telsa as the starting point. This was used for low ability pupils.

A fun revision lesson covering all of the equations students need to know for the Mechanics topic for AQA year 12 physics. Each easter egg has a question and an answer to a previous question on it. Students work in teams to solve the question to help them find the next egg. With over 35 questions, some easy some difficult it should take most A-level classes at least 1 hour to complete this. For a bit of extra fun, try turning it into a competition, where teams get a mini egg for each correctly solved question at the end of the lesson!

21 posters showing the wide variety of specialisms within Forensic Science with a variety of real images of people working within those fields. Each poster also has a list of recommended A-levels for that area of forensics.

Lesson covering terminal velocity and momentum, for a weaker A-level class which needed support for the consveration of momentum section.

A lesson on seismic waves covering all the basics required by the GCSE boards.

A simple game for A-level students to practice calculating resistance in series and parallel.

A full lesson including an extended writing task, a crossword and a worked example covering the learning objectives required for AQA GCSE Physics

A fun Christmas revision lesson. Santa’s elves have mixed up all the presents! Each present has an a-level physics mechanics maths based question on it. Some questions are easy, some questions are difficult. Can you students match the present to the right house in time for Christmas Eve? There are 24 questions complete with a teacher’s guide containing all answers. Students could quite easily spend over an hour solving these puzzles, whilst practicing all the equations they have learnt for year 12 mechanics. Make the last lesson of term a useful but also fun lesson for your students!

A fun Christmas lesson covering the basics of means and ranges. The lesson has an introduction where the students help an elf monitor the reindeer training program before completing their own experiment to put into practice the skills they have just learned. A perfect way to have a fun Christmas lesson whilst ensuring your students still gain curriculum knowledge in the lesson. for the lesson you will need: Balloons, String, straws. stopwatches, clamp stands (or something else to tie the string to)

Make your own physics decorations for your tree or classroom! A fun Christmas activity (although could be used at other times of the year), the “angels” of physics come with an equation they are closely associated with, students can then get creative by adding their own wings. I will also be setting my students the task of writing a biography about their “angel” over the Christmas break.

A full lesson plan for a mixed ability sixth form class on projectile motion and free fall. Could be used over two lessons. Includes a step by step projectile motion worksheet for weaker students.

A whole lesson covering resistivity for A-level physics, including what resistivity is, semiconductors and superconductors.

A full lesson introducing the electricity topic for AQA physics. Covering Current and Voltage, Ohm’s law and I-V graphs. Lesson includes questions with answers and an experiment

A-level physics lesson covering resistance in series and parallel, emf, internal resistance and lost volts.

An introductory lesson to waves for A-level students. This a a full lesson with GCSE recap do now, literacy activities, self assess and peer assess activities and a homework that links back to the key points from the lesson. All activities have differentiated activities and so can be used for all abilities. This lesson is aimed at the AQA spec, however it could be used as an introduction for all exam boards.

A fun twist on the traditional loop game! With 56 key words based on Particle Physics and Quantum Phenomena, print these off double sided on coloured paper and have your A-level students read the definition, the students then find the matching word, on the back of the matching word is another definition, the students find the next word and link them together in a traditional paper chain, with the word displaying on the outside. A fun way for students to check their understanding of keywords from A-level physics whilst also making decorations to give your lab a festive feel for Christmas! Length of activity: approximately 30-40 minutes if students are working in pairs and fun christmas music is playing in the background.

Four full hour long lessons acting as an introduction to Particles and Radiation for AQA (could be used for other exam boards) Lesson designed specifically to build a bridge from GCSE to A-Level, by making reference to the GCSE currciulum. Two cheat sheets cover the main part of each lesson complete with questions which could also be used for revision at the end of the year.
