This shop is mostly aimed at Physics resources that fit the current KS3 and KS4 (AQA) schemes of learning.
Most resources will contain specific learning activities that are differentiated by outcome/task and the power points are SEN accessible (with appropriate chunking of information and pale background colouring).
There will sometimes be random science topics from biology chemistry in which have worked well with classes.

Pupils will:
1. Describe forces (with some reference to force diagrams)
2. Explain how to select and measure using a Newton meter
3. Also contains a comprehensive plenary (in which credit is due to another unknown author)
Includes: Power point, lesson plan and worksheets
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!

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.

This bundle offers the KS3 curriculum on electricity (Years 8, 9 and 10).
Each 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)
The outline below gives a lesson by lesson account of the bundle
Lesson 1 - Investigating batteries (Pupils will look at how batteries work and investigate a self made battery)
Lesson 2 - Circuits (Pupils will learn how to draw model circuit diagrams including symbols, and learn how to put these into practice)
Lesson 3 - Voltage (Pupils will be able to explain what voltage is and what it does to current. They will be making comparisons to a model diagram and looking at voltage calculations)
Lesson 4 and 5 - Resistance (Pupils will be able to explain and calculate resistance through Ohm’s law. They will also be planning and conducting an investigation to look at how resistance of a wire changes with length (linked to How Science Works)
Lesson 6 - Series and Parallel Circuits (Pupils will be drawing comparisons between series and parallel circuits and be able to discuss them qualitatively and also apply calculations to determine current and voltage through them)
