I am currently a Teacher of Science and I have a background in Telecomms and Software Engineering. I can occasionally be found on BBC Radio Shropshire as their Science Teacher. I enjoy finding innovative ways to help students revise and have developed the Grade Gain app for Science revision.

GCSE Physics Required practical 3b - Resistors in series and parallel

(1)
This has been produced as an extract of the AQA required practical document. It is designed to be printed two pages to a page and flip on short edge to form a booklet that students can then stick in their books. This is for required practical 3b - Resistors in Series and parallel. The content is from AQA and the layout and formatting is my own. AQA may change the contents of their practical this is correct as of 07-07-2016. I have split it into 2 different practicals as that is how I prefer to teach it. They are 3a and 3b.
GCSE Physics - Transformer ratio equations

GCSE Physics - Transformer ratio equations

(1)
This worksheet takes students through how to calculate the properties of different types of transformers. It introduces them to the number of turns equation and shows how to manipulate this to calculate either the number of turns or the voltage on the primary or secondary coils. This is provided complete with answers!
Physics Taboo 2

Physics Taboo 2

(1)
Taboo card game covering the main topics for Physics 2: electricity, motion, forces, stars. Motion: Speed, velocity, acceleration, terminal velocity, stopping distances etc. Electricity: AC, Mains, Static, plugs, resistance etc. Stars: Lifecycle, nuclear processes - fission and fusion Students play in teams of two. One person picks up a card and has to describe the phrase in the top box without using any of the words on the card. Their team mate has to guess it to win. The opposing two members of the four can jump in and steal the card by guessing correctly.
GCSE Physics - Introduction to lenses and ray diagrams

GCSE Physics - Introduction to lenses and ray diagrams

(1)
A powerpoint that introduces students to the tips and techniques of drawing ray diagrams for lenses. It goes through formation of an image on paper using lenses, how to draw a ray diagram for a lens and culminates with image description. NOW: with added worksheet that is referenced in the PPT. Please remember to review - thanks.
GCSE Physics - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A detailed lesson plan and presentation about Electric fields. It takes the student through looking at magnetism as a non-contact force and then applying this knowledge to electrostatics whilst looking at similarities. They then progress to drawing field diagrams and writing explanations of electrostatic repulsion and the triboelectric effect. Thanks for looking. Don't forget to review if you buy!
GCSE Physics - Moments and cantilevers lesson plan and presentation

GCSE Physics - Moments and cantilevers lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A GCSE Physics lesson plan and presentation that introduces moments and cantilevers to students. They need to complete the cantilever practical as specified in the AQA resources - measuring deflection when masses are added to a clamped metre rule. This introduces key terms and ideas. Please review my work ;-) Thanks for buying.
Powers of Ten and Standard Form Lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

Powers of Ten and Standard Form Lesson plan and presentation

(1)
The lesson plan and accompanying presentation for Science students to learn about standard form, aka scientific notation, and common prefixes. The PPT is fully editable and has opportunities for AfL embedded into the lesson. Any images are CC0 license so royalty free. This takes students from guesstimating size, to understanding the need for standard form to recognising standard prefixes such as kilo. There is an accompanying homework task (available separately) - Powers of Ten, Prefixes and Standard form Homework/worksheet.
GCSE Physics - Specific Latent Heat lesson plan, presentation and calculations
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Specific Latent Heat lesson plan, presentation and calculations

(1)
A full lesson plan, presentation, practical worksheet and practice calculations covering Specific Latent Heat of Fusion and Specific Latent Heat of Vaporisation. The calculations are differentiated to allow students to secure good progress. The calculations and practical worksheet are also available separately from bit.ly/TESncrumpton Thanks for shopping.
GCSE Physics - static electricity lesson plan and presentation

GCSE Physics - static electricity lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A lesson plan and presentation introducing static electricity and the triboelectric effect. There are links to a couple of you tube videos that emphasise the points being made. This lesson also details a practical that students can do to experience the triboelectric effect for themselves.
Tarsia Puzzle template

Tarsia Puzzle template

(1)
This is a handy template for creating Tarsia Puzzles. They are triangular pieces that form a hexagon when connected up correctly. Write words/definitions on each piece so that they pair up, cut up the pieces and then students have to put the puzzle back together based on their knowledge. This does not do it for you automatically. This is a great tool for testing knowledge on a wide range of topics.
Exit ticket template

Exit ticket template

(0)
An exit ticket template that can be used for any lesson. Created in the style of a British Railway ticket. Provided in word format so you can edit the name on the ticket for your own. Great way to capture learning from the lesson or use as a recap. Not valid for travel! Can be printed onto Avery or Lyreco labels so you can stick them in to student books once they have been reviewed.
Circuit symbol Card sort
ncrumptonncrumpton

Circuit symbol Card sort

(0)
The common circuit symbols that students are expected to know for GCSE Science. These are produced so you can print them out, cut them up and have a card sort activity. Print them onto different colours of card and laminate to make a long lasting resource. Covers all the common circuit symbols, switch, cell, battery, diode, resistor, variable resistor, LED, lamp, fuse, voltmeter, ammeter, thermistor and LDR. Also suitable for KS2 and KS3.
Electromagnetic radiation splat

Electromagnetic radiation splat

(0)
An animated PowerPoint file that enables you to play splat. Have a list of questions where the answers are parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and have two students at the board. The first person to "splat" the right answer wins. Winner stays on is always a good game but you can rotate in teams or anyway you like. Excellent for revision of the electromagnetic spectrum.
