Exam Command Terms - (Mainly for Science Exams, but applicable to other subjects!)

(0)
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)

Transformer experiments - For non-specialist physics teachers

(0)
Attached is everything you will need to teach a lesson (with a class practical or demonstration) on transformers. Using a multimeter that can measure AC voltage (available at places like Maplins), and a set of transformer coils (available from Phillip Harris) students measure the voltage across the primary and secondary coil of a transformer. Included are student instructions, guided questions, and teacher set up instructions. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MULTIMETER THAT CAN MEASURE AC VOLTAGE BEFORE PURCHASING! See cover image for all equipment you will need!

A set 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've used this powerpoint for both P1a GCSE Physics and BTEC L2 Applied Science classes. The powerpoint discusses the different types of energy, then leads into energy transformations and the law of conservation of energy.
