"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"-Albert Einstein. These wise words from the worl'd greatest physicist has long inspired my lesson plans, ensuring that concepts are made as simple as possible without dumbing down. All paid for lessons follow the same design, all lessons are clearly differentiated, with plenty of peer assessment and self assessment to reduce teacher workload and are fun and engaging for student and teacher alike.

Waves - Phase and phase difference (lesson 2)

(1)
This is the second lesson for A-level physics on waves. this lesson looks at Amplitude, wave properties and phase. The lesson covers phase in fractions, degrees and radians. A fully differentiated lesson with a fun board game to liven up the topic and a homework activity.

Specific Heat Capacity of types of Coca-cola

(0)
Is there really a difference between the many different brands of Coca-Cola? Coke zero and diet coke both have the same number of calories etc, but interestingly have different specific heat capacities. This lesson was for a high ability year 9 class who had already done a little on SHC.

Feynman Diagrams (Particulary AQA A)

(0)
This worksheet allows pupils to learn the six specific feynman diagrams required by the AQA A syllabus, but could also be used by other exam boards for practise. This will also be good for revision.

A worksheet based AC and DC currents, using the history of science talking about Edison and Telsa as the starting point. This was used for low ability pupils.
My Vertebrate's Habitat

My Vertebrate's Habitat

(0)
I allow my students around 30-40 minutes to do this in pairs. Following on from the previous worksheet where the pupils had to design their own vertebrate and label it, the pupils now have to design a habitat for their vertebrate, the boxes around the edge should be filled with labels explaining why they have put the things there. I got my pupils to do this in pairs and then made a display along with the earlier worksheet called 'Year 7's Fantasy Zoo'. I would recomend blowing this up to A3 size on the photocopier.
Mechanics Easter Egg Hunt

Mechanics Easter Egg Hunt

(0)
A fun revision lesson covering all of the equations students need to know for the Mechanics topic for AQA year 12 physics. Each easter egg has a question and an answer to a previous question on it. Students work in teams to solve the question to help them find the next egg. With over 35 questions, some easy some difficult it should take most A-level classes at least 1 hour to complete this. For a bit of extra fun, try turning it into a competition, where teams get a mini egg for each correctly solved question at the end of the lesson!
