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)

Practical to measure the resistance of light bulbs in series and parallel. Suitable for high ability KS3 (year 9) group, or low ability GCSE group

Three separate cover sheets, explaining the assessment activities for BTEC National L3 Applied Science Unit 20. (Edexcel exam board) Complete with instructions, and link to syllabus, fully editable.

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

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

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.

Powerpoint, with videos explaining what is resistance and how to combine resistor values. Has two YouTube videos on the ppt. Just click the video when the ppt in in fullscreen.

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

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

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.

I use this with a middle to high ability year 9 group, but could be used with low ability KS4 group. Activity that explains the key points of what is free fall, and also how we work out weight using g. I find the activity lasts around an hour or so. I am always looking to improve my resources, so please leave feedback! Thanks!

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

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.

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!

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!

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!)

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.
