An introductory KS4 lesson on magnetism. Includes simple experiments/demo using bar magnets, compasses and paperclips.

A KS4 lesson about using the generator effect. Information sheets included in the powerpoint. Pupils should know about the generator effect already. Worksheets mentioned are colins so not included, others available on TES would work.

A KS3 lesson on thermal equilibirum, possibly useful for KS4.

a KS3 lesson on gravitational potential energy, could be useful for KS4.

A KS4 lesson covering transformers and their uses.

A KS3 lesson on power, possibly useful for introduction at KS4. Exam question from ExamPro so not included.

A KS4 lesson about testing specific heat capacity, designed to be used pre or post practical to ensure pupils understand procedure.

A KS4 physics lesson on specific heat capacity.

A KS4 lesson about the half life of radioactive isotopes. Worksheets from “half life challenge” on TES were used. Skittles practical (google it!) also used during lesson when taught myself but not needed.

A KS4 lesson on radiation types. Demo about penetrative properties used during lesson but not needed, video will work.

A lesson designed for KS3 as an intro to gravity but could also be used at KS4

A GCSE lesson covering star formation and gravitational and nuclear equilibrium. Please check my profile for the follow up lesson on life cycle of a star.

A lesson covering red shift applied to galaxies and what that means for astronomy.

a simple lesson discussing types of satellites and different orbits

‘Find someone who can’ activity for energy. designed as a revision resource for KS3 but could easily be used at KS4 or as an intro to energy in KS4. Pupils are not allowed to answer on their sheet, but must find other pupils to do it for them. They may only write on another person’s sheet once.

A template newspaper article with headline, date, price and picture boxes with plenty of room for writing.

A lesson covering the basics of energy stores, transfers, power and work done. Designed for use with KS3 class but could be used with KS4 with some adjustments. The tarsia puzzle does have a joke question about Norwich City being the best football team, sorry!

A presentation explaining uses of sound waves. could be used at both KS3 and KS4 depending on your classes and starting points.

Great for initial work on the wave equation: pupils work down vertically filling in each column, following the same steps each time. They work up to completing a question requiring rearrangement and unit conversion.

A lesson comparing transverse and longitudinal waves. You will need a slinky for a demo (obviously!) Moving onto wave equation with worksheet provided. The first task requires the ‘word wheel’ to help the pupils structure their answers. Can be printed or on PPT. The wave equation task needs to be printed. Pupils use the side-by-side to practice questions, moving onto harder ones.
