This is a bundle of all of the 4 main units of the A-Level Scheme of Work (Year 1) - fully up to date with the latest 2016 syllabus including:
Section 1 (Chapters 1 - 3) - Particles and Radiation
Section 2 (Chapters 4 - 5) - Waves and Optics
Section 3 (Chapters 6 - 11) - Mechanics and Materials
Section 4 (Chapters 12 - 13) - Electricity
Every single lesson in this 80 lesson scheme is step-by step explained with powerpoints for each lesson, including resource ideas and experiments and the 6 required practicals. All links made clear to the latest AQA syllabus
This is everything that a teacher or school needs to teach the entire AS course (Year 1 A-Level AQA). Designed around the AQA syllabus this scheme would be invaluable to anyone teaching any of the main exam boards (OCR and Edexcel).
Chapter 1 is also available FREE if you would like to sample the quality of this resource.
Every individual lesson is available to download at ÂŁ2/lesson - Chapters are almost half price and this huge bundle of every chapter works out at only 50p per lesson PLUS information and guidance on the six Year 1 required practicals.
All links, page references and lesson codes are from the latest (2015/2016) Oxford University Press book (Both AS and A-Level)
