Lesson slides for introducing atoms and the periodic table to middle ability KS3 students. Worksheet for lesson slides is available here: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/atoms-and-periodic-table-worksheet-11065565

I use this activity with my middle ability year 9 group, but it can be adapted to other abilities. I showed the YouTube video of the Brazuca ad first, as a quick intro. Then the students need to read through the National Geographic article on the Brazuca and attempt to answer the questions. The article and questions should take around 25 mins or so. On the electronic copy of the article, the hyperlinks still work if you want to take it further.

Quick video I made to show how binary counters work. You can also watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzZNyhspXmo&feature=youtu.be

This guide will show you how to download the Vernier Graphical Analysis app for your (and your students') iPhone, iPad and Android tablets and phones. It will also show you how to manually record data on the app, and how to share the data so that it can be processed in Excel.

Worksheet for year 7-9 on what an atom is made up of, and how to read the periodic table.

A set of A4 size posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc) Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview. There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.

I made a powerpoint with easy to read font for all the possible command terms in science exams (SATs, GCSEs, AS/A Levels). However, I am certain these command terms are also applicable to many other non-science subjects. There are 25 command terms with definitions, on A4 landscape pages. An example of one of the command terms is below: State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer. (No supporting argument or calculation is needed) Included is the original powerpoint to add to/edit. As you may not have the font I used installed it will just show up in Arial. I've included a pdf copy as well which will have the font I used on it. I picked the font, as normally these type of displays are written in comic sans to make them easy to read, but I detest that font! This font, named 'complete in him' is easy to read for dyslexic students (I have surveyed some of my students who are dyslexic, and I am also dyslexic)

A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Challenge'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Challenge Unit, I have linked it to the mechanics topics from KS3 in the UK. If you teach, or are about to teach IMYC you are no doubt aware that there are very little teaching ideas for the sciences. I've taken what topics the National Curriculum recommend for physics, and adapted them to IMYC units.

A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Justice'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Justice Unit, I have linked it to the Energy topics from KS3 in the UK. Also included are a couple of links to resources that I have made that relate to the topic, and they are free. If you teach, or are about to teach IMYC you are no doubt aware that there are very little teaching ideas for the sciences. I've taken what topics the National Curriculum recommend for physics, and adapted them to IMYC units.

A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Interpretation'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Interpretation Unit, I have linked it to the Space and Matter topics from KS3 in the UK. If you teach, or are about to teach IMYC you are no doubt aware that there are very little teaching ideas for the sciences. I've taken what topics the National Curriculum recommend for physics, and adapted them to IMYC units.

Practical to measure the resistance of light bulbs in series and parallel. Suitable for high ability 8th grade group, or low ability 9th grade.

2 page worksheet (with answers) for IGCSE/GCSE physics. Problems are on SI units, converting units, calculating volume of a regular shape and calculating density.

Presentation and displays of the history of manned spaceflight in the US. This is the first part and covers the Mercury and Gemini program from 1961 to 1966. All images are courtesy of NASA and are public domain.

This is an introduction to parallel and series circuits for non specialist physics teacher. Included with the powerpoint slide is a worksheet, and how to set up the practical, with troubleshooting. The jpeg files are previews of the slides and what the equipment looks like. Great resource for newly qualified science teachers, student teachers and non specialists.

Student activity to model the random nature of radioactive decay. Each group (2 to 3 students) will need a pack of skittles or m&ms. Document includes student instructions, table template and graph template for students to record their data.

Powerpoint slides explaining what a potential divider is, and explaining step by step how we derrive the equations for a potential divider. With an investigation suggestion for potential dividers. Worksheet included with 4 KS5 questions on potential dividers, and mark scheme with worked solutions.

One sided worksheet with questions on stellar distances and calculations involving the parallax method. With worked solutions.

Suitable for A Level/IB Physics. 3 questions on circular motion and centripetal acceleration/force, with worked solutions.
