A compilation of extended calculation exam questions (calculations worth 3 or more marks). These are questions that prove challenging to many students. The intention of this compilation is to give students focussed practice on these challenging questions. The AS collection covers the modules of first year A-level physics. The A2 collection covers the modules of second year A-level physics. The questions are provided in two separate PDF documents with hyperlinks between individual questions and their mark scheme and the subject headings and their section of the mark scheme for easy electronic navigation. The questions are laid out to make them a great printable resource. UPDATE 24 May 22: Couple of typos / omissions corrected.

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.

A Numbers¹ spreadsheet that provides teachers with an attractive interface to record, analyse and track progress in students’ grades. Capable of tracking results for up to three classes in the same subject (and can be edited to extend for more classes). Per assessment scores can be recorded from two separate sections independently if desired. Grade boundaries are set per assessment in the designated table. Graphs show % scores in 5% range categories and the grade distribution. A bubble graph helps to visualise if top scorers / low scorers had notable strengths or weaknesses in section A or B of the exam. In the main table achieved grades are compared with target grades and class average deviation from targets are also computed. There is also a bubble chart that can cycle through the assessments which makes it easy for the teacher to click through the assessments and see if there are any notable trends - it is also simple to present the chart to a class to discuss exam performance (my students love this). The Tracking Sheet imports results from the individual test Sheets. On this Sheet you can optionally use weighted percentages for the assessments (e.g. give more challenging assessments higher weighting to account for the difference or give more recent assessments higher weightings to emphasise recent progress). Overall performance is illustrated on the Tracking Sheet with target grade comparisons and distribution graphs. ¹ 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.

A differentiated activity worksheet for students and Keynote¹ presentation with answers. Four different elastic collisions are presented and students have to apply conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy to the collision to determine the correct outcome. The problems range in difficulty from straightforward to advanced problem solving. There are two versions of the activity included: Extension version with limited guidance on the task. Accessible version with four possible outcomes shown that students need to evaluate. (Both worksheets are combined into the single pdf document - just print what you need.) This is a paid version of a lite product which includes the same task without the differentiated version. The worksheet should prove self explanatory for students. The presentation is designed to aid the teacher’s explanation. There are slides that can be used to show solutions for both versions of the worksheet giving the teacher the option to choose how to work through the the tasks. The slides linked to the differentiated version include the algebraic working to analyse conservation of momentum and KE - making the teacher’s life even easier! ¹ The presentation is made with Keynote which is Apple’s presentation software. It can be exported to PowerPoint but I don’t guarantee the output will look and operate in the same way.
