"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"-Albert Einstein. These wise words from the worl'd greatest physicist has long inspired my lesson plans, ensuring that concepts are made as simple as possible without dumbing down. All paid for lessons follow the same design, all lessons are clearly differentiated, with plenty of peer assessment and self assessment to reduce teacher workload and are fun and engaging for student and teacher alike.

CSI Challenge: Blood Drops, ISA preparation.

CSI Challenge: Blood Drops, ISA preparation.

(2)
This was designed as an end of year, fun but also useful lesson. Each student was given a booklet to work through in pairs, all they needed was some fake blood (which I made by mixing red and brown paint with water), a pipette a metre ruler and a few sheets of A3 paper. After the practical there are some ISA style questions, I told my year 9s we were going to be using this as an indicator for where to start with them during next year's ISA lessons.
Equation practice for additional physics

Particles and Quantum Glossary

(2)
This covers all the key words and new words AS students will cover in the first module of AS Physics (AQA). I will be using it for the students to fill in at the end of each lesson the words they have learnt so they can then use it for revision during the exam period. However this could be given to pupils to do over a homework (or two!) as revision.

Mission to Mars

(1)
This activity can be adapted easily for a wide variety of different ages and abilities. It gets the pupils to think about and/or research the pros and cons of spending billions of pounds on a mission to mars. Pupils then decide on what their view of the matter is and write a letter to the Prime Minister arguing for or against it. this activity could then lead onto a classroom debate about it.

Core Physics Extended Writing (QWC questions AQA P1)

(1)
This covers the QWC questions given by AQA for core physics over the past few years. Each question has a answer preparation section, a keywords section and a space for the students answer and a mark scheme. There is a PowerPoint with videos for most of the questions and hints on the questions to go on the board. Designed to be used by non-specialists in the run up to the physics exam. Please give any feedback on how it could be improved.

I have often found that students get worried about when to use each equation. These Christmas bookmarks look at how the same property can be used in three different equations and has differentiated questions on the back to allow students to practice when to use each equation. Perfect for lessons in the run up to Christmas or even a Christmas homework sheet. The bookmarks cover equations for: Force, mass and voltage
