If you are teaching the life cycle in stars in GCSE/IGCSE physics, GCSE Astronomy or the astrophysics options of IB or A Level. I have embedded videos from Crash Course Astronomy, in to the the life cycle of stars diagram.

Quick set of research questions for KS3 students about magnetic fields, the aim is for them to produce a powerpoint or presentation on as many questions as possible.

Aimed at IB DP students studying topic 8, but also suitable for A Level physics and higher ability GCSE/IGCSE students: Presentation and questions covering: Energy sources, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, efficiency, Sankey diagrams, energy density, specific heat capacity.

This is an introduction to parallel and series circuits for non specialsit 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 NQTs, PGCE students and non specialists.

Lesson explaining what is a Solar Eclipse and the difference between a total, partial and annular solar eclipse. Students should use their phones to simulate the different types of solar eclipses (see cover image) and then be able to explain the conditions for the three types of solar eclipses to occur. Also includes research worksheet.

Practical on how to measure the refractive index of a perspex or glass block. Step by step instructions (with lots of images) included on how to set up the experiment, as well as slide show of images showing how to set up the experiment for your class. Also included are student instructions.

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.

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.

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

An editable word document that Theory of Knowledge students can use to help guide them through the process of extracting a knowledge question from a real life situation.

A worksheet aimed to teach students how to convert from Kelvin to Celsius and vice versa. Students have to calculate the surface temperature of planets in the Solar System, and then plot a graph of distance from the Sun v temperature. Then use the graph to answer questions.

Revision guide on fossil fuels and energy and efficiency, includes sankey diagrams. For IB physics topic 8, but suitable for GCSE and A Level

1 page revision notes of pumped storage and GPE to KE notes for IB Physics topic 8.1. Suitable for A level and GCSE

Mainly used as an introduction in IB Theory of Knowledge but could be applied to geography. Students analyse and draw their own maps to understand better their cultural perspective on the world.

Two pages that help students structure how to write a scientific investigation. The aim of the investigation is to determine the refractive index of a perspex block.

This is approximately a 2 hour research project for the IKS Area of Knowledge for the TOK course for the IB Diploma. Students should work in groups to complete the activities in the first two activity sheets, using the mind map template to help structure their arguments. They should then individually complete the personal reflection activity.

Designed for IB Design Technology, but useful for GCSE Design Technology Systems and Control, Electronics, A Level Electronics. Worksheets to revise the basics of electricity. definitions, units, Ohm's law, resistance, resistivity, capacitors, alternating current, power...
