This is a single lesson on the reflection of light from a plane mirror. The lesson is contextual and based on a driver involved in a car collision who may/may not have looked in their wing mirror. (The idea is they have to determine if the driver could see the lights of the car he overtook) The lesson is fully differentiated into Low, Mid, High and GCSE tasks and can be fully adaptable to any scale of learning (e.g. AWOL, 9-1). Pupils will: 1. Become forensic scientists to determine the law of reflection (requires ray boxes, mirrors and protractors. There are paper protractors available on the .ppt) 2. Draw/complete ray diagrams using the law of reflection for different scenarios (MID/HIGH worksheets are on the .ppt) 3. Determine the % chance that the driver was reckless or telling the truth 4. Write a conclusion based on their findings Worksheets and materials available on the .ppt.

The lesson content aims to develop pupils qualitative and quantitative understanding of potential energy transfers and apply them contextually. PowerPoint and worksheet included.

A lesson on Kinetic energy and energy transfers (Leads on from gravitational potential energy) The lesson is fully differentiated (A*-C, adaptable to 9-1). Pupils will: 1) Attempt differentiated questions on Kinetic energy matching 9-1 outcomes 2) Build a loop the loop and apply KE and GPE calculations to determine how much KE (or speed) it takes for a marble to do a loop. Teacher guidance on PPT. 3) Review their learning using an exam style plenary question (or complete for home learning) PowerPoint and worksheet included.

This is a single lesson taken from the KS3 electricity bundle and follows on from the first lesson on resistance. However, it can be used as a stand alone lesson on investigating resistance. The lesson is fully differentiated into Low, Mid, High and GCSE tasks and can be fully adaptable to any scale of learning (e.g. AWOL, 9-1). Pupils will: 1. Continue exploring resistance (Requires lesson 1 (see other resources) /Can be used for a stand alone lesson 2. Explore the idea of diagnostic skills when forming circuits 3. Taking data from an experiment and proving a hypothesis Includes: Lesson plan and power point

First lesson in the forces and motion unit of the AQA synergy specification. The lesson is fully differentiated (9-1) and explores the ideas why we have scalars and vectors and how to apply them in real life contexts. Worksheets included in the powerpoint.

The following resource is a learning grid in which pupils can answer questions in order to earn points. Fully engaging when coupled with simple prizes (merits or even material prizes) Pupils roll a set of dice and move to the corresponding grid co-ordinate. They answer the question in their book and earn the points. Questions have different levels of difficulty to challenge all pupils. Comment on other ways you use the grid!

The following broadsheet is designed to guide students through questions related to the P3 specification on forces and motion. Includes key questions for P3a-h and can be used for any forces and motion topic. Page numbers are linked to the collin's textbook Answers are included as a JPEG image. The broadsheet includes: Distance-time graphs Speed-time graphs Acceleration F=ma and resultant forces Momentum and Impact forces Stopping distances Kinetic energy Terminal velocity Air resistance Work done Power

A lesson on Ultrasound as part of the unit on waves The lesson is differentiated (9-1) and encourages pupils to take an independent approach to their learning. The lesson content aims to develop pupils qualitative understanding of ultrasound waves and be able to build confidence on working on exam style questions PowerPoint and worksheet included.

For KS3 Forces topic OR KS4 LAP review or revision The following resource is a learning grid in which pupils can answer questions in order to earn points. Fully engaging when coupled with simple prizes (merits or even material prizes) Pupils roll a set of dice and move to the corresponding grid co-ordinate. They answer the question in their book and earn the points. Questions have different levels of difficulty to challenge all pupils. Comment on other ways you use the grid!

A lesson on waves and wave properties The lesson is fully differentiated (A*-C, adaptable to 9-1) and encourages pupils to take an independent approach to their learning. The lesson content aims to develop pupils qualitative understanding of transverse and longitudinal waves and their similarities and differences. Also includes drawing and labelling the wave form. PowerPoint and worksheet included.

The following lesson covers Ionic bonding from simple principals including how to identify Ions from the periodic table and how to draw ionic compounds. Excellent to use with mini-white boardsand has several points of AfL. Includes: Power point and a plenary worksheet

A revision broadsheet that covers the P4 topic of the OCR Gateway B Curriculum. Each box is labelled with the specific topic content e.g. P4a static electricity. Print on double sided A3, or edit font size to adapt to class.

The lesson is a KS3 lesson aimed at developing students knowledge of how the body systems individually aid with respiration. Students will research the different systems and collaborate to form a larger understanding in groups. Fully differentiated with printable info and work sheets on the power point.

A complete revision broadsheet that covers the extent of the Periodic Table as part of the Synergy course. Can also be used for Trilogy or AQA Chemistry. Each question is selected to either recall or apply knowledge directly linked to the course content.

Fully differentiated lesson aimed at develop student understanding of calculating mean rates of reaction and reaction rate at a point on a graph. The lesson is aimed at supporting students with their data and graph handling skills with 3 points of assessment that really tests them. *This is ideal for an hour lesson and if needed a practical can easily be used instead of the graph plotting activity.

Fully differentiated lesson aimed at developing understanding of how nuclear fission is used to produce energy in nuclear power plants. Includes all specification content with a focus on how to answer past exam paper questions. All included in the power point *Information will be needed for the main activity, I allowed students to access the internet to find out their information. I guided them towards BBC bitesize.

The PDF contains a series of slides that can be used a revision flash cards for students. The facts are taken directly from the **AQA ** specification including worked examples of equations , required practical and any specific knowlegde. Each card contains: Information linked to the exact specification content The specification criteria that students must know Equations and formula triangles for required equations with a worked example Required practical cards have a method, resolution, variables, sources of inaccuracies and findings ****As far as I know the content is exact as of the 2016 reforms and completely up to date. Please let me know if you feel I have missed anything out. I also plan to release the powerpoint for this but this will come out at a later date.

The following lesson covers the link between atoms, the nucleus and radioactivity. Students will compare the general size of the atomic structures and begin to link this to the stability of the atom. Students will then look at the types of radiation emitted by the nucleus and then use their information to complete a set of application questions. A mini-white board quiz is advised as a plenary. The lesson is linked to the new AQA (9-1) curriculum and is the first lesson taught in the Atomic structure unit Includes: Power point and a plenary worksheet
