A set of revision resources for EDEXCEL Physics paper 1. Covers topics 1-6 for combined science and topics 1-7 for triple science. Each topic has a Picture/animation prompt activity where pupils explain the significance of each one and a Challenge Grid that contains colour-coded tasks that relate to the topic content in the order that it is taught (pupils get a higher score for tasks that are chronologically further back). C/SP1 & C/SP3 activities are combined into 1 activity as they are both small topics as is CP4/5. SP4 and SP5 are done separately. SP6 has 2 of each activity as it is a very large topic! These activities can be used multiple times throughout the course and pupils can aim to improve their scores. Answer slides for all activities are included (I have tried to keep the answers concise so as not to take up more than 1 slide for each activity. Pupils may end up with more detail and can be used as a discussion opportunity). I have used some of these in the run up to the mock exam and each topic takes at least a 1 hour lesson to complete. I have also used them as revision before end of unit tests and also at random points in the course. Separate power points tailored for Triple and Combined Science (some crossover) so you can pick which resource to use depending on which course/class you are teaching. I have the CP1/CP3 activities available as a free sample. Also see my shop for full lesson resources for GCSE EDEXCEL Physics triple science and physics combined science lessons.
