2 page worksheet (with answers) for IGCSE/GCSE physics. Problems are on SI units, converting units, calculating volume of a regular shape and calculating density.
Two pages that help students structure how to write a scientific investigation. The aim of the investigation is to determine the refractive index of a perspex block.
Two page revision guide the conservation of energy. Types of energy, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy. Includes practice question, worked questions, and answer page for practice questions.
Revision pack for mechanics aspect of physics includes the topics:
Circular motion, kinematics, conservation of energy, Kinetic Energy and Gravitational Potential energy, Newton's law of gravitation.
This is an introduction to parallel and series circuits for non specialist physics teacher. Included with the powerpoint slide is a worksheet, and how to set up the practical, with troubleshooting.
The jpeg files are previews of the slides and what the equipment looks like.
Great resource for newly qualified science teachers, student teachers and non specialists.
17 jpg images on the Solar System. Explaining some of the bits of the Solar System are often forgotten!
All images are courtesy of NASA and are free to reuse for commercial and non commercial uses.
I made a powerpoint with easy to read font for all the possible command terms in science exams (SATs, GCSEs, AS/A Levels). However, I am certain these command terms are also applicable to many other non-science subjects.
There are 25 command terms with definitions, on A4 landscape pages. An example of one of the command terms is below:
State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer. (No supporting argument or calculation is needed)
Included is the original powerpoint to add to/edit. As you may not have the font I used installed it will just show up in Arial. I've included a pdf copy as well which will have the font I used on it.
I picked the font, as normally these type of displays are written in comic sans to make them easy to read, but I detest that font! This font, named 'complete in him' is easy to read for dyslexic students (I have surveyed some of my students who are dyslexic, and I am also dyslexic)
Lesson explaining what is a Solar Eclipse and the difference between a total, partial and annular solar eclipse.
Students should use their phones to simulate the different types of solar eclipses (see cover image) and then be able to explain the conditions for the three types of solar eclipses to occur.
Also includes research worksheet.
This is an introduction to parallel and series circuits for non specialsit physics teacher. Included with the powerpoint slide is a worksheet, and how to set up the practical, with troubleshooting.
The jpeg files are previews of the slides and what the equipment looks like.
Great resource for NQTs, PGCE students and non specialists.
Aimed at IB DP students studying topic 8, but also suitable for A Level physics and higher ability GCSE/IGCSE students:
Presentation and questions covering:
Energy sources, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, efficiency, Sankey diagrams, energy density, specific heat capacity.
Bundle of two of my most popular displays. Each resource contains several high quality images of either features of the Solar System or the history of Manned Spaceflight or Newton's Law of Gravitation.
This guide will show you how to download the Vernier Graphical Analysis app for your (and your students') iPhone, iPad and Android tablets and phones.
It will also show you how to manually record data on the app, and how to share the data so that it can be processed in Excel.
I've used this PowerPoint for both Physics and Applied Science classes.The PowerPoint discusses the different types of energy; then leads into energy transformations and the law of conservation of energy.
