Good starter or finish to a revision lesson. Students can either do thumbs up/down, hold up cards or move to different sides of the room. Good assessment exercise too.

This could be used at KS3, 4 or even 5 level. A fun practical using multimeters and pencil lines to measure the relationship between resistance and length.

For any year - dropping water (using a pipette) onto graph paper and investigating the relationship between height dropped from and diameter. Presentation and activity sheet. This could then be extended to the students choosing their own variables etc.

PowerPoint and problem sheet for A level or IB.

To be used as a useful summary after students have looked at the speed of sound in different substance. The multiple-choice format is useful for those of you preparing for these style exams (Cambridge IGCSE). The 'write your own' multiple choice questions at the end are surprisingly difficult to do, and are an excellent link to sentence structure/grammar etc.

Year 9 or GCSE. PowerPoint discusses terminal velocity and falling without air resistance and there is an investigation (with investigation write-up template) at the end. I should mention that there are running jokes about my dislike of dogs (sorry!).

Fully comprehensive presentation with a choice of tasks. GCSE/IGCSE/A level.

Students investigate length of day in Summer/Winter. Each group of students need a light source and access to a globe (blow up ones will do). The instructions are quite hard to follow for some kids - perhaps groups could be organised by attainment and the teacher could assist the lower group.

Two comprehensive lessons with practical sheets and presentations. Hooke's law for GCSE/IGCSE with calculation of spring constant and as an extension finding the spring constant for two springs in series and parallel.

A lesson for IGCSE (14-6 year old) Coordinated Science although this will also work at KS3 (11-14 year olds). The slide that says 'Follow Mr Porter' I normally take them outside and show them how to play 'Wall Ball' and hence demonstrate the law of reflection. Please message me if you don't know 'wall ball'. The sheets are exercises in using the law, either drawing rays of light to show light being bounced off mirrors to find treasure on a treasure map or trying to 'zap' a dog (I have a running joke about my hate of dogs in my lessons). Please feel free to substitute something other than a dog!

Presentation, examples, worksheet and practical activities for the Equations of Motion (SUVAT). Written for IB but fine for A level and GCSE. Written with humour by a very experienced Physics teacher.

Ready made Science display for any lab. 20 Science jokes and their explanations. Print out and stick randomly on board (all jokes have humorous cartoons etc too). Students have to match the joke with the correct explanation. Will cover a large board! (just miss a few jokes out to cover smaller board). Very popular! Probably best for seondary, but why not push those primary kids?

Everything they need to know for A level or IB presented in a humorous fashion by a very experienced teacher. Worksheets and practical activities too. Propagating uncertainties too.

The "True of false" opening activity is a great way to assess their understanding before the lesson starts. Emphasise throughout the lesson that gravity is a force between ALL objects (many students have been taught lower down the school that gravity is only what pulls them to the earth). The work sheet should give a good assessment of the understanding of the lesson. The last two questions will really stretch their (and maybe their teacher's!) understanding.

Step by step, easy to understand and humorous presentation explaining Newton's laws for year 9 and GCSE lower groups. Non-Physics specialist and don't quite understand them yourself? - You will now!

Written for IB/A level, could also be used lower down the school. Includes worksheet and practical activity. Written by experienced and humorous (?!) Physics teacher.

Presentation introduces how to measure speed (distance/time) and students measure some "fun" speeds (the speed of someone walking to a boring class, speed of someone walking to a fun class, speed of a drip going down the window etc). They are then introduced to speed calculations and there is a worksheet (that should be personalised with your class names - they love that!). Presentation is in a humorous style with fun pictures.

Written for year 9 but could be used for KS4 too. Calculating electrical power and units (kilowatt hours)

Comprehensive Powerpoint covering the gas laws and equation of state. Practical activities and worksheets. Even a slow motion video of the author using a "Fire piston". Written for IB, this could also be used for A level and GCSE. Written with humour by an experienced (26 years!) Physics teacher.

Presentation and all the worksheets and practicals you need to teach density. KS3 or GCSE. This presumes you have some material blocks and access to basic equipment (measuring cylinders etc).
