Designed for my school's &'activities week&';. Students should get into groups of 5 or so, and be given a space agency from a country participating in this years world cup. \n\nStudents need to build a 'lander&' for their country that will allow an egg to survive &';re entry', as well as produce a poster/presentation on the history/achievements of their countries space agency.\n\nStudents should spend around 1 hour to 1.5 hours on this, including testing time for the lander

If you are teaching the life cycle in stars in GCSE/IGCSE physics, GCSE Astronomy or the astrophysics options of IB or A Level. I have embedded videos from Crash Course Astronomy, in to the the life cycle of stars diagram.

Questions on focal length, and magnification of refracting telescopes.

Introduction for relativity, starting with Galilean transformations, and the postulates of special relativivity. Taken from my resources for IB Physics options on Relativity, but suitable for any sixth form or high school physics on relativity.

Lesson slides, worksheet, and lesson activity on dispersion of light. Worksheet is as a pdf and docx

A practical I do with my year 9 group (but could be adapted for GCSE). We make a basic variable resistor by shading in an area on grid paper using graphite pencils. Then see how resistance is affected with length.\n\nI originally got the idea from a video clip I saw on YouTube, the link is attached here.\n\nYou will need to have digital multimeters to do this, that have a setting to measure resistance.\n\nNB: I'm a recently qualified teacher, so constructive comments on my resources and how they can be improved are really welcome! So please leave a comment if you used them! Thanks!

Quick worksheet on Acids and metals, including how to test for hydrogen gas. Dyslexic font.

Research project I gave for my low ability IGCSE maths group. Students need to research flags, and draw them using only transformations. \n\nYouTube search 'Fun with flags&' clip from the TV show &';The Big Bang Theory' as a good 5 min intro the the project.
