I am a Physics teacher with over 14 years experience in a London day school. I have both academic and pastoral skills needed to connect with young people and engage with them on their journey to understand this subject.
I have examined for AQA and Edexcel boards for both GCSE and A Level.

This bundle has all the worksheets for all the electricity calculations at GCSE. It contains a pupil worksheet with blanks and a teachers sheet with answers.
Current, Charge Time
Voltage, current, resistance
Energy, charge, voltage
Power, energy, time, current, voltage, resistance
This is a standard format for physics calculations, to be used in class to introduce and practise each formula. These have been honed on lower set pupils and allows differentiation in the following way:
Page 1 Notes and examples completed with the teacher
Page 2 Table, allows pupils to practise using the formula and manipulating it
Page 2 Table, higher order skills for stronger pupils include s.f. and prefixes
Page 2 Questions, these get harder as you work down the questions.
The expectation is that this activity can stop when some pupils have finished the final questions, as this will still have allowed all pupils to practise problem solving. The answers can be given so pupils can complete questions for revision at the end of the top if they didn’t complete all the questions in class.
There is a pdf version and a .docx version that is editable.

This booklet contains all the GCSE Physics formula that need to be memorised. There is a worksheet for the formulas and they were created and then honed on weaker pupils who find it challenging to apply mathematics in Physics. The familiar format used for each topic with formulae puts the pupils at ease and they feel comfortable in using new formula in this way. The completed sheet is also included for the teachers reference. To differentiate, stronger pupils can start at the end and work backwards. Weaker pupils can then complete the first page with the teacher and try to complete the table overleaf.
