I use this generator extensively for continual revision throughout the school year. Each lesson we have a 5-10 minute quiz on past topics to keep them fresh in students’ minds. This is one of Rosenshine’s key principles. Generate a recap / review quiz on a subject in physics with ease. Comes with a database of questions categorised into topic areas (physics subjects), you just select the topic area you want a quiz for and you’ll immediately get a mini quiz of five questions. When the class has finished attempting the questions click once to reveal the solutions. Want to cycle the questions for a new quiz? Check a checkbox and boom you’ve got a new quiz on the same topic area (use the Refresh drop down menu on Excel). This is an entirely offline solution meaning you can use this even when your school’s internet connection drops out. The supplied questions are categorised as literacy or numeracy (where applicable). And those linked skills are displayed to the class to reinforce that the mini quiz includes those skills. The master sheet has a single database of questions to make question maintenance a breeze - one place to input / edit questions. All lookup formulae are dynamic so that you don’t have to worry about which order the questions are in - so feel free to change the order of questions or add/remove questions as you see fit. In the Numbers (Apple) version the master database also harnesses Numbers’ built in categorisation on the subject so you can expand and collapse collections of questions easily - once again maintaining the database is made super easy. The quiz generator is designed to randomly select five questions from the database. But note that for subjects with a small number of questions in the database duplicate questions may occasionally be shown. If you can try to keep numbers of questions above 15 to reduce the likelihood of this. Comes with over 600 questions ready to get you going with a bang! Here’s the subject break down of the questions: UNITS 12 EQUILIBRIUM 21 MOTION 26 FORCE AND MOTION 21 WORK AND ENERGY 14 MATERIALS 25 ELECTRICITY 49 WAVES 18 REFRACTION & TIR 21 WAVE INTERFERENCE 34 QUANTUM 50 GASES AND KINETIC THEORY 35 THERMAL PHYSICS 13 CIRCULAR MOTION 27 SHM 28 GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS 33 ASTROPHYSICS 47 ELECTRIC FIELDS 15 CAPACITANCE 26 MAGNETIC FIELDS 50 PARTICLES 18 RADIOACTIVE DECAY 39 NUCLEAR ENERGY 24 MEDICAL PHYSICS 19 **Now includes an Excel spreadsheet **. For Windows users. Windows users suffer enough with poor OS & software options so I created an Excel version to take the edge off it ; ) Includes a Numbers spreadsheet. Numbers is spreadsheet software made by Apple, it opens with the Numbers app available for free with most recent iPhone / iPad / Mac devices also available with a free Apple ID for use in most web browsers.

Complete activity with a worksheet with fifteen incorrect statements about waves that need to be corrected. Each incorrect statement has an identifier indicating how many mistakes there are. This task is A-Level physics standard. The worksheet is a PDF. There is a PowerPoint and Keynote presentation for the teacher to use to go through the corrections to the statements in a whole group activity. So the presentation is accessible to Microsoft Windows users, Open Office users and Apple users - whatever floats your boat! Topics included: Wave features (wavelength, period, frequency etc) Transverse and longitudinal waves Polarisation Refraction Diffraction Superposition Coherence Stationary waves

A Keynote¹ and PowerPoint presentation to aid teaching students how to use Vernier Calipers and Micrometers with accompanying printable worksheet. Learning how to use vernier calipers and micrometers is an important part of physics A-Level, and engineering courses. The presentation includes a labelled diagram of a vernier caliper, followed by high quality diagrams of vernier calipers showing different measurements. The diagrams match those on the worksheet so that students can work through each measurement individually on the worksheet in the first instance. The process is repeated with a labelled diagram of a micrometer and diagrams of a micrometer showing different measurements. The worksheet has all diagrams of vernier calipers and micrometers on a single side of A4 paper. ¹ Keynote is presentation software that works on macOS, iOS and iPadOS devices. The worksheet is a PDF. A PowerPoint version is included for users requiring it. There is a free version of this activity available as a presentation only (no worksheet) and fewer measurements (two of each). The measurements shown in the free version are different to this activity so if you want to increase the number of measurements you work through with your students you can copy them across.

Graph grids for digital graph work in PDF format - use with iPads / tablets and Apple Pencils / styluses etc. The grids available are 8 × 12 and 10 × 14 large squares - each large square being 10 × 10 small squares. Can be used in portrait or landscape.

A worksheet to enable students to analyse experimental data from the experiment to investigate the transformers turns ratio equation (V₁ / V₂ = N₁ / N₂). I’ve made a video of the experiment here https://youtu.be/rXzTp4dzjGw. The data collected in the video can be used to complete a table, plot a graph and answer a series of analysis questions in order to explain if the equation is supported by the data that was collected. An additional extension guides students through the manual calculation of R². Instructions for computation of standard deviation on popular CASIO calculators are also included. Yup all this for free! There are links from the PDF directly to the relevant part of the data collection in the video for anyone using the worksheet electronically. There are solutions at the end. Perfect for A-level physics students on any specification. This worksheet is ideal for home learning since it has an accompanying video explanation of the experiment, the analysis of results and solutions to all questions are included in the document. One thing to note: I mistakenly used a different set of results in my analysis video. I’m sorry about that. However, the analysis methodology is still relevant.

A summary activity to facilitate students comparing electric and gravitational fields. The nature of the fields, direction, definitions, units, equations (strength, potential and potential energy) paths of objects with mass/charge are included. The comparison is done by field property in a tabulated layout. Page 1 is designed for students to write onto directly. Page 2 has solutions.

A summary activity to enable students to compare the force constant (from Hooke’s Law) with Young’s Modulus in order to appreciate the benefit that Young’s Modulus provides in discussion about material stiffness. Answers included on page 2.

Evaluate a set of experimental data obtained during an experiment to determine the Young’s Modulus of a copper wire. Tasks include: calculating the absolute and percentage experimental uncertainty in quantities, application of uncertainty rules, drawing error bars, drawing lines of worst acceptable fit, determining uncertainty in a gradient value, and converting a percentage uncertainty into an absolute uncertainty. Full solutions are included. This is an excellent follow up exercise to the Young’s Modulus Experiment Worksheet. The raw measurements are related but slightly different to make for a better experience in this evaluation worksheet. Perfect for A-level physics students on any specification. This worksheet is ideal for home learning since it has an accompanying video explanation of the experiment, the analysis of results and solutions to all questions are included in the document.
