Phase & Path Diff : A-level physics
A fully simplified lesson on phase and path difference. The lesson cover:
Path Difference: A measure of how far ahead a wave is compared to another wave, usually expressed in terms of the wavelength.
Phase Difference: The difference in phase between two points on a wave. It is usually expressed in radians.
Specific Heat Capacity (SHC)
A simplified lesson to focus on pupils understanding:
what specific heat capacity (SHC) is.
calculate: energy transfer, change in temperature and specific heat capacity of different substances.
Specific Latent Heat
I prepared the lesson step by step as this is a difficult concept. Pupils should know:
that the latent heat of fusion: temperature remains constant when solid turns to liquid
that the latent heat of vaporisation: temperature remains constant when liquid turns into gas
how to use E=ml to calculate energy transfer
(for higher or A- level) Questions that involve both SHC and SLH
Factor Theorem Simplified MSS
This lesson is useful for both GCSE and A-level maths students.
understand and recall the factor theorem
-use the factor theorem to verify that a linear expression is a factor of a polynomial
-find unknowns in a polynomial expression given a linear factor by using the factor theorem
Moment - GCSE and A-level
Students will be able to:
understand that the moment of force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point,
understand that if the line of action of a force passes through a point, the force does not give rise to a moment about that point,
calculate the moment of a force about a point,
calculate the moment of the sum of a system of forces about a point,
understand that the counter clockwise direction is defined as positive for moments.

Food chains and Webs
Key points:
All organisms in an ecosystem depend on each other.
Food chains show the flow of energy from one organism to another.
Food chains show the feeding relationships between organisms.
Food webs show how all the food chains in an ecosystem interact.
The Earth (structure, rock cycle, weathering and erosion)
It is a complete lesson with quiz and questions.
Key points:
Different elements are present in different parts of the Earth’s structure.
The crust is made from enormous plates which move very slowly due to movements of the mantle below.
The rocks on Earth are constantly changing due to many different processes.
There are three main types of rock, with rocks changing between each type over millions of years.
This rock recycling is a process called the rock cycle.
The Skeleton system: bones, joints and muscles
Lesson objectives:
