Activity for students to learn (or revise) the evolution of the atom. Focuses on discoveries required for AQA additional physics (P2.5.1 atomic structure), including plum pudding model, Rutherford's gold foil experiment, and the subsequent Rutherford and Bohr models. The first two pages of the word document is a summary of how the atomic model has changed with diagrams of the models. The third page has pictures of all of the scientists (and philosopher) named in the history (print 1 page for 2 pupils). The fourth page has instructions on how to set up a book for the timeline (as a double page wasn't enough). I instructed my pupils, rather than printing this page out. The fourth and fifth pages have pictures of some of my students' timelines. The four examples are also included here as .jpg. I started this with my students (year 10) in class, then had them finish it as homework, but it could be used completely as homework or completely as a class activity (especially with younger students), reading out the information sentence-by-sentence and building up the timeline together.

Contains 162 multiple choice questions from past AQA papers on AS material for the new specification starting September 2015 (7407). Answers are included on the last page. I printed these off with section 2 from past AS ISA papers (and mark schemes), then spiral bound them into a book. I gave these books to my students over the Easter break for them to use for revision. Most students completed the book and were grateful for the extra work.

A whole lesson, lesson plan included, on refraction and Snell's law. Powerpoint revises refraction and the direction of bending, then introduces Snell's law. This was one of my observed lessons. Went through ppt with students to the direction of bending. Printed "Student-sheet.pdf" double sided for each pupil; one side summarises the information in the slides, the other side has questions regarding the direction of bending. Finished ppt, then did the "worked example" on the board (from the "Snells-Law-and-Refraction-Questions.pdf"), then had students finish questions for homework.

Full revision lesson (and extras) for the entirety of the nuclear physics section of AQA iGCSE, which includes: atomic structure, atoms and radiation, fission, and fusion. Very similar to AQA GCSE (though no knowledge of nuclear power plant is required for iGCSE). I was observed with this lesson by the Head Teacher. Contains: a (75 minute) lesson plan, outlining differentiation opportunities; a single double-sided A4 summary page; presentations on calculating half-life (from a graph and from numbers); six-mark question on radiation (with mark scheme); worksheets on writing nuclear equations for alpha and beta decay, determining half-life from a graph, calculating half-life (one shorter to test understanding, one longer for more practice); past paper questions on determining half-life from a graph and fission and fusion; answers/mark schemes for all worksheets and past paper questions; fission and fusion card game with instructions; and nuclear revision game with instructions (originally from TES user ogrinter).

This book like resource is intended to be printed for students to self-teach the thermal physics topic, completely independently. That being said, it would be a great resource to use with teacher directed learning as a source of notes, assignments/practice paper questions, and mark schemes. This covers all of the content within the thermal physics topic, EXCEPT the required practical. This resource is included as a word document (so that you can easily change the introduction and tips and timeline to suit your classroom needs) and as a pdf (for ease of printing). It also includes: separate files for each of the past paper question assignments with their mark schemes (note some of the assignments have parts of questions removed) extra past paper multiple choice questions and mark schemes for the subtopics thermal energy transfer, ideal gases, and molecular kinetic theory a background knowledge check and answers as a separate pdf that will fit on a folded A3, if you prefer to use it outside the independent study assignment I have personally used this resource in a variety of settings, including: setting it as a summer task for pupils when I moved schools and the school was uncertain about the physics provision the pupils would receive, especially in September using it as an independent study assignment in the summer term where class time is often interrupted due to lower sixth students being out on university open days, taste-test courses, and tours. Students were expected to submit the assignments by particular dates (given in advance and summarized in the modified tips and timeline section for those pupils) and class time was used as one-to-one tutorials instead of whole class activities. giving it to students to use in conjunction with supplementing YouTube videos (here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvkSBB2m0eL_PkvbE8krDrhVuYADXzV9p) during Covid19 outbreak.

Was designed and used as a last minute revision session for year 11 core physics. Power point contains: exam tips; a quick recap of resolution and u-value; a summary and past paper questions with solutions for kinetic theory, conduction, and convection; and a summary of advantages and disadvantages of various methods of generating electricity taken from AQA past paper mark schemes. The .pdf summarises infrared radiation and the information on the sides regarding kinetic theory, conduction, convection, and methods of generating electricity. During the revision session, I gave each student one of these (printed double sided) to help them with the questions.

Keywords: revision, game, physics, triple science Flashcards for triple physics, broken up into section (75 flashcards for medical applications of physics, 31 flashcards for using physics to make things work, 40 flashcards for keeping things moving, plus a title flashcard for each section), incorporating definitions, labelling diagrams, advantage and disadvantage lists, functions (e.g. of the parts of a camera and eye), directions and names of centripetal forces, centre of mass descriptions, mathematical relationships, describing transformers, using Fleming's left-hand rule, explaining how things work (e.g. circuit breakers, transformers, relay switches) with past-paper AQA answers. Cards can be printed double side for use as flashcards or can be printed single side for use in a memory match-up game. To print for flashcards, select the text area (to print) and under printer properties, make sure you select 2-sided printing and print centred horizontally and vertically (so that the cutting lines on the front and back line up). Best printed on a darker colour of card (e.g. red, blue, orange) so that the answers cannot be seen through the paper. I gave a set of flashcards to each of my pupils to encourage them to study on the bus/at home. They also use them to quiz each other at break and lunchtime.

45 flashcards for ELC Science, Component 3 (Metals from the Earth) and one title flash card. Cards can be printed double side for use as flashcards or can be printed single side for use in a memory match-up game. To print for flashcards, select the text area (to print) and under printer properties, make sure you select 2-sided printing and print centred horizontally and vertically (so that the cutting lines on the front and back line up). Before printing, look at the page order and ensure the pages are being printed as questions, answers, questions, answers, etc. Best printed on a darker colour of card (e.g. red, blue, orange) so that the answers cannot be seen through the paper. I gave a set of flashcards to each of my pupils to encourage them to study on the bus/at home. They also use them to quiz each other at break and lunchtime.

Great for a cover lesson. Word document starts off with a scenario that introduces when the student may require to learn on their own. (Change teacher name.) The introduction also tells the student to make notes from powerpoint slides in their book and attempt the past paper questions, and gives advice on how to make good notes. Then contains a combination of printed slides of information and two separate worksheets for students to answer. Slides cover AQA household electricity (P2.4.1) including: short circuits, mains circuits, three prong plug, hazards of electricity, insulation, double insulation, fuses, earth wires, and circuit breakers. Powerpoint slides contain mark scheme for past paper questions in word document.

Three page biography on Nikola Tesla, followed by a fill in the blank. The answers to the blanks are the words to find in the word search. The letters that aren't used in the word search create a quote from Tesla. Second document is answers. I have used this with a low ability year 7 class by having each pupil read a sentence aloud to the class. When we came across a difficult word or Tesla quote, I paused them to help them explain what it meant. The pupils were very involved... and completely outraged at Tesla's misfortune!

I didn't make this, but fantastic resource. Students work in groups of 2-3. Each group needs one set of student instructions (pages 2-6), one board (page 7, I print this on A3), a coin, a playing piece (students can use their rubber or pan cap), and a coloured pencil/marker to trace the path of their carbon atom. Students each control a carbon atom and flip a coin (or two) to determine what happens to the carbon atom. I have them keep track of (1) how many cycles their atom completes and (2) their longest cycle for a discussion at the end of class. There are also discussion questions at the end of the student instructions.

After folding, this becomes an 8 page book which summarises everything students need to know for the waves topic of AQA core physics (P1.5 The use of waves for communication and to provide evidence that the universe is expanding). File available in .pdf and .jpg. Choose the one that is easiest for you to print. Print on A4 paper (for a pocket-sized book) or A3 paper (for an A5-sized book). After printing, fold according to the following instructions. I gave one to each of my pupils and folded one in front of the class so that they could follow along. The more careful the folding is done and sharper the folds are creased, the easier the forming of the book is. I would suggest running a ruler across the fold to make it sharp. The folding: 1. Turn the paper writing side down, fold in half, open it, and fold in half the other way. Open. 2. Turn the page over so that it is writing side up. Fold the short edges into the centre (so it looks like a leaflet). Open. 3. Fold the paper in half (along your previous fold) so that it looks like A5 if you printed on A4 paper (or looks like A4 if you printed it on A5). 4. Cut into the folded edge along the centre fold until you get to the folds you made in step 2. Open. You should now have an A3 paper with a slit in the centre. 5. Fold the paper in half (so it is long) and (holding the sides) press the sides in together, forming the book.

Students use BBC Bitesize to fill in the blanks and summarise information about radiation in general and the specifics of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Can be used as scaffolding to introduce ideas of note-taking (highlighting important words, using diagrams, summarising information in tables, etc.). Follows the AQA specification for additional physics. Print double sided on A3 paper. Pages 1-2 are the student pages, pages 3-4 are the answers. To put into A4 notebooks, fold the paper in half (so that it is A4 sized) and glue down the side with the website listed.
