A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Justice'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Justice Unit, I have linked it to the Energy topics from KS3 in the UK. Also included are a couple of links to resources that I have made that relate to the topic, and they are free. If you teach, or are about to teach IMYC you are no doubt aware that there are very little teaching ideas for the sciences. I've taken what topics the National Curriculum recommend for physics, and adapted them to IMYC units.

A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Interpretation'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Interpretation Unit, I have linked it to the Space and Matter topics from KS3 in the UK. If you teach, or are about to teach IMYC you are no doubt aware that there are very little teaching ideas for the sciences. I've taken what topics the National Curriculum recommend for physics, and adapted them to IMYC units.

Lesson slides for introducing atoms and the periodic table to middle ability KS3 students. Worksheet for lesson slides is available here: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/atoms-and-periodic-table-worksheet-11065565

Practical to measure the resistance of light bulbs in series and parallel. Suitable for high ability 8th grade group, or low ability 9th grade.

One side revision guide covering the definitions of Specific Heat Capacity and Latent heat. With three common examples and worked solutions

Revision guide for wind generators in topic 8 of IB physics.

Aimed for non-specialist physics teachers (or new teachers) who are teaching GCSE physics. A guided walk-though of how to measure the specific heat capacity of different metals. Includes teacher instruction sheet, and a student investigation sheet.

1 page revision notes of pumped storage and GPE to KE notes for IB Physics topic 8.1. Suitable for A level and GCSE

Attached is everything you will need to teach a lesson (with a class practical or demonstration) on transformers. Using a multimeter that can measure AC voltage (available at places like Maplins), and a set of transformer coils (available from Phillip Harris) students measure the voltage across the primary and secondary coil of a transformer. Included are student instructions, guided questions, and teacher set up instructions. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MULTIMETER THAT CAN MEASURE AC VOLTAGE BEFORE PURCHASING! See cover image for all equipment you will need!

Introductory resource describing the features of the structure of the Earth. Suitable for topic 1 - Planet Earth (topic 1.3) Includes lesson slides and worksheet.

Three high quality images (printable to at least A3 size) to display the equations and uses of Newton's Law of Gravitation. A PowerPoint of the images along with worked examples. The worked examples are included as a stand alone worksheet as well. (Answers to worksheet are on the PowerPoint).

Practical on how to measure the refractive index of a perspex or glass block. Step by step instructions (with lots of images) included on how to set up the experiment, as well as slide show of images showing how to set up the experiment for your class. Also included are student instructions.

High quality images and displays for AS/A2 and IB Physics particicle physics topics. Includes displays of the particle zoo, feynman diagrams and the rules for the laws of conservation. Included with the images are editable PowerPoint files.

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.

A set of A4 size posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc) Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview. There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.

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.

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)
