Here’s a game of Articulate for physics revision. I’ve included different coloured decks so that you can put students into different teams. There’s also a key definition sheet. I usually give my students the key definition sheet ahead of time, either for homework or in class (5 to 10 minutes), so that they can memorise the definitions in preparation for the game.

L.O. To describe how different organisms co-exist and to identify niches within an ecosystem. Perfect for key stage 3. Notes are written for each slide in the powerpoint. Solutions to tasks and questions are also included in the powerpoint so that pupils can mark their own work. There are 24 slides in total, 6 of which are revision slides for the unit of “ecosystem”. Enjoy!

Here's a resource for ks3 and ks4 on the topic of Recycling. The 23 slides cover the theory and contain tasks, prompts for class discussions, and activities for pupils. There are 2 case studies at the end where pupils have to do some calculations related to recycling. I've also included my own lesson plan / notes that I wrote in preparation for teaching this lesson. Enjoy!

This resource is useful for pupils learning changing states in ks4. Here's the structure of the lesson: 1. Particle models for solid, liquid, gas 2. State changes 3. Metallic / ionic / covalent bonds 4. Melting points 5. Multiple choice short quiz Enjoy!

GCSE physics worksheet/handout on equations of motion. Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use. Learning objective: Recall and use the equations of motion for constant acceleration. Happy teaching!

GCSE physics worksheet/handout on Momentum. Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use. Learning objective: Recall and use the equation relating momentum, mass, and velocity. Happy teaching!

GCSE physics worksheet/handout on Resultant forces. Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use. Learning objective: Define and calculate resultant force.

Here’s a worksheet for projectile motion in A Level physics. I’ve also included a video that explains the graphs of motion for an object thrown upwards and experiences free fall.

Here’s a handout that I give my physics students for when we learn about the difference between stationary waves and progressive waves. I’ve also included two videos to go along with this: Video to explain the theory Video to show you how to carry out an experiment to find the speed of light using the idea of nodes and anti-nodes in standing waves - I had a lot of fun doing this! Enjoy!
