The Earth - The Earth and its Atmosphere (Key stage 3)
L.O. To compare the layers of the Earth and to describe the atmospheric composition.
Contains a multiple choice pre-test great for introduction for this unit.
Topic: Energy / Energy stores / Types of energy
Level: GCSE, key stage 4
I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS4 physics on Energy Stores ( or previously known as Different Types of Energy).
Resources:
1. Powerpoint slides: 18 slides with clickable items for navigation. Answers to questions in slides reveal upon clicking. I have written “Presenter’s notes” under some slides, mostly about extension ideas and some simple notes on the theory.
2. Notes for pupils: Use this 3 page document as worksheets or handouts. Pupils can take notes during lesson or complete tasks in this editable document. Also, it includes 1 exam style question.
3. Printout: A list of descriptions (clues) for pupils to read and guess which energy store the description is referring to. (This can be cut out and put in a hat for pupils to pick out.) This makes Task 1 in the powerpoint interactive.
Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there’s any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload all my lessons on “Energy and Energy Resources” so that you can have a complete set of lessons for this unit.

Here’s a collection of multiple choice questions (with answers) for Radioactivity, suitable for GCSE key stage 4 level science (physics).
They are a mixture of exam-style MC questions and exam-style questions that I have modified into MC questions. I can easily upload these worksheets online and ask my students to either highlight their answers or type their answers into a word document.
I’ve separated the MC questions into sections so that you can use them as worksheets or homework.
There are 11 sections in total:
structure of atoms
isotopes
stability
alpha decay
beta decay
gamma radiation
penetration power
half-life
dangers and application of radiation
fusion/fission
nuclear reactors
