Lesson on what the difference is between displacement and distance. Resource also introduces what scalar and vector quantities are and looks at some other examples. Looks first at the difference between displacement and distance then tasks students with calculating both in given simple situations. Then looks at what scalars and vectors are gives examples of each and tasks students with identifying the different ones. Finishes with application plenary on an F1 car traveling round a circuit.

Lesson that involves the use of a van der graaf generator and balloons to develop an understanding of static electricity with some real world context.

A short PowerPoint and a worksheet on the insulation required practical for triple science physics. I also use this practical with combined science students as a way of introducing the idea of insulation in homes

Lesson on the theory behind specific heat capacity and how to use the equation. Does not cover the Required practical this is the lesson I use before doing the RP so that students understand what they are doing. Talks about what SHC actually is first before moving on to how to use the equation. Suitable for middle-high ability and could be adapted for Low ability. Answers included.

Lesson on efficiency that looks at what efficiency is, how we calculate it and why its important. First looks at what waste and useful energy stores are. Then at calculating efficiency from given energy values. Also goes on to look at Sankey diagrams which aren’t part of the Spec but do provide a visual representation of the concept of efficiency.

Lesson on how to calculate power and how this can integrate with work done. Students begin by looking at what we mean by power. Then we look at how to calculate power from energy and time. Finally students learn how to integrate power with the work done equation. The lesson finishes with a practical that tasks students with calculating their own power by lifting masses for a minute.

Option for paperless lesson on work done with practice questions and included answers. Also helps with rearranging equations. Begins with a look at what work done is then looks at the equation and how to use it including how to rearrange to find forces and distance. Worked examples and answers included good for low to middle ability. Extension tasks for high ability. Also includes worksheet that is the same as the questions on the PowerPoint for those who prefer this. All answers are on the PowerPoint.

This resource contains a revision map (High and Low ability versions) and PowerPoint that recaps the particles topic for KS3. It includes: Diffusion, Brownian motion, Air Pressure and State changes. Higher and lower ability version of the revision mat and a powerpoint that recaps the key points and provides an extension application task for those that complete the mat early. Suitable for KS3

A revision matt for GCSE students designed to cover the topics of Density, Heating and Cooling curves and Physical/chemical changes. Complete with Revision slides and answers on a Powerpoint and a link to a final Kahoot Quiz

This resource is for 2 hour lessons on resolving forces and finding resultant force both at right angles and non right angles. Begins with right angle forces in the first lesson then moves on to non right angle forces. Focuses on the use of diagrams and requires prior knowledge of vectors and Scalar quantities. All answers included. Designed for the new AQA Combined science trilogy specification.

New AQA Fluid Pressure and depth lesson. A lesson that takes students through how fluid pressure changes with depth. Requires Practical equipment for demos: Pascal’s vases, Spouting can. Takes students through the factors that affect pressure at depth in a fluid and then the equation for calculating pressure at depth (height x GFS x density). Uses demos and examples where possible
