A calculations worksheet on MOMENTS for the higher ability student Yr9 Physics.
Requires the ability to rearrange equations.
Question 3 requires the student to convert numbers into correct units before calculating the moment and therefore the solution to the question.
Designed for Yr9 but would also lend itself to a brief refresher/starter for P3 physics in KS4

38 individual GCSE homework/intervention questions (Higher and Foundation), all the same format, including success criteria linked to the new specifications. Each homework question has an associated MODEL ANSWER. Both the question and the model answer have been formatted to fit an A4 page in exercise books. All are produced in WORD are are fully editable, so you can remove logos, week numbers, set own marking criteria etc. Included in this pack of questions and model answers is…

This contains 120 individual homework/intervention questions with associated model answers differentiated for foundation and higher tier with success and marking criteria included on the questions. The questions can be either self or peer assessed in line with the model answers attached. Also included is a booklet containing all the Physics equations required for the KS4 exams with worked examples for illustration. These equations are also broken down into individual lesson starters as a powerpoint.
Simple summary with illustration of the Fractional Distillation column of what happens to the physical and chemical properties of the hydrocarbons condensing at different temperatures ie how the compounds change as they rise up the column and condense as they cool the higher up the column they go with lower and lower boiling points.
To support literacy across the curriculum and obviously Science in particular here, these sentence construction frames are extremely useful in a number of different contexts. Students find this quite a challenge but do engage with this in an extremely positive manner. A good opportunity for collaborative work.
They can be edited for differentiation purposes, with significant challenge for the most able and also access for the weakest/SEND.
They have been used very successfully as starters, plenaries, end of topic summaries, revision tools, homework and also extensions and they can be adapted for any topic across the entire curriculum from Yr7 to Yr13.
I have attached a number of examples with associated powerpoints to have up on the board as the students attempt the task, including.....
Limestone
Hydrocarbons, Fractional Distillation and Cracking
Radiation
Respiratory and Circulatory System
The Atom, Reacting Masses and Rates of Reaction
Transformers and Power

A lesson originally put together for OCR 21st Century Science C1 (Foundation - weak students) with significant challenge but would be equally applicable for any exam board (AQA, EDEXCEL etc) to illustrate the concept of Cause and Correlation. Observed during inspection with this lesson. Very successful outcome.
Potentially dry topic. Use a clearly incongruous link, in this case ice cream sales and hayfever cases lnked to pollen count to illustrate the difference between a 'cause' and a 'correlation'. The graphs for this are in the attached powerpoint.
Once the difference has been highlighted, move on to collaborative work in the class with the attached work on nitrogen monoxide levels and hayfever and the instances of asthma in a given area. Graphs to be completed using the data on the sheets and the questions about the completed graphs also to be done.
Differentiated starter questions are also attached (D- B grade).
