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.

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

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

I use this with my middle to high ability year 10s when discussing moments. The powerpoint shows the flow of the lesson.

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.

Activity I do with my GCSE groups on size of doses from sources. I teach in Mexico so the word document mentions figures for Mexico (just change to UK!) Students can graph using Excel or by hand and then compare different doses of radiation. The image is from the website xkcd and is public domain so can be reproduced. Its a big image and needs to be printed in A3 to be readable. If you cannot print it out the weblink is attached. I really welcome feedback, on how I can improve this resource! Thanks!

Lesson slides, worksheet, and lesson activity on dispersion of light. Worksheet is as a pdf and docx

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

A collection of slides to help students revise the particle physics topics in Unit 1 of AQA Physics A. They are a collection of my old university notes and materials I have developed on the following topics: The Particle Zoo (Hadrons, Leptons etc) Conservation Rules Quarks The Photoelectric Effect One version is a printable PDF version, one is suitable for IWBs Feedback is very welcome as I am recently qualfied teacher always looking to improve my resources (please be kind though!)

Introductory resource describing the features of the structure of the Earth. Suitable for topic 1 - Planet Earth (topic 1.3) Includes lesson slides and worksheet.

Instructions on how to use a marshmallow and a syringe to demonstrate the principle of Boyle's Law (p1V1 = p2V1) Links to video instructions are on the sheet as well.

The first three lesson slides from my IB physics lessons on Energy Power and Climate Change. Including the IB Style questions I ask the students at the end of each lesson, and a research task on energy sources.

Designed for my school's &'activities week&';. Students should get into groups of 5 or so, and be given a space agency from a country participating in this years world cup. Students need to build a 'lander&' for their country that will allow an egg to survive &';re entry', as well as produce a poster/presentation on the history/achievements of their countries space agency. Students should spend around 1 hour to 1.5 hours on this, including testing time for the lander

Questions on focal length, and magnification of refracting telescopes.

Introduction for relativity, starting with Galilean transformations, and the postulates of special relativivity. Taken from my resources for IB Physics options on Relativity, but suitable for any sixth form or high school physics on relativity.

A practical I do with my year 9 group (but could be adapted for GCSE). We make a basic variable resistor by shading in an area on grid paper using graphite pencils. Then see how resistance is affected with length. I originally got the idea from a video clip I saw on YouTube, the link is attached here. You will need to have digital multimeters to do this, that have a setting to measure resistance. NB: I'm a recently qualified teacher, so constructive comments on my resources and how they can be improved are really welcome! So please leave a comment if you used them! Thanks!

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
