Measuring forces KS2

£2.00
(0)
Presentation outlining what a force is, contact and non-contact forces. They then do a measuring forces activity (the spreadsheet contains a copy of the results table) before leading into a friction of different surfaces investigation. The Powerpoint contains humour and was written by a (very!) experienced Physics teacher. Could also be used in year 7.

Heat transfer - The vacuum flask

£2.00
(0)
Presentation recaps heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation in humorous style. This is then applied to how a vacuum flask works and students then complete the cut-out and stick worksheet. Good for KS3 and KS4.

Converging lenses and ray diagrams

£2.00
(0)
Converging lenses, principal focus etc and drawing ray diagrams to find the position of images. Also includes a practical activity before the ray diagrams so students can see what the results actually mean. I have a running joke in my class about not liking dogs hence the questions on the worksheet. Please fell free to edit!!

IGCSE Physics REVISION sheet

£2.00
