PAG / CPAC / Practical tracker for all sciences

(0)
A simple tracker for recording student progress in A Level Physics for the CPAC / PAG criteria. I created this after being frustrated by how much time it took to fill in the AQA / OCR trackers. This spreadsheet: Takes much less time to record student marks Quickly shows student attainment across all criteria Quickly shows which practicals have been marked and which have not which helps if managing a large department. 4 files are included. One how two document and then a separate tracker for each of the three sciences.

Pimped Energy Island

Loosely based on the Joule island resource Students have an island, and $10 to spend on power generation. Once they have committed to their design as a class you preceed through the next 10 days of climatic conditions which have an influence on the power output. Any team that reliably produces power for 10 days wins. Really engaging and gets students thinking about the challenges posed different power solutions.

OCR Physics A SOW

(0)
Each module broken down into a logical teaching order. Each lesson has deliverable points and suggested activities. To be clear this SOW does not have detailed lesson plans (see thumbnail picture for a representative example). It is however excellent if you are new to OCR and trying to structure the course.

Analysing starlight; Bohr model and diffraction grating

(0)
Students are given a ficticious absorption spectrum for light from a star. From this they can use their diffraction grating knowledge to calculate absorbed frequencies, they can then work out the absorbed photon energy and therefore the bohr model for the ficticious element involved. Red shift is not included for simplicity Answers included. Takes approx. 30 min, although time for this task is very dependent on ability, best for stretching top end.

Physics Revision Game - Mi(snakes) and Ladders

(0)
Resource includes board, rules and a proforma for the game cards. Game cards need populating. Generally I set the creation of the games cards as a prep, telling each student which modules they should make cards for.
