I am a Science Teacher with 25 years experience and love producing resources. As one of my HoD's remarked "Your lesson plans and resources are outstanding, if only you could teach as good as your resources." Chemistry is my main subject, but have an interest in Pedagogy, especially CASE (Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education) and misconceptions and how to overcome them.

ALL Physics Required Practicals Revision Questions

(0)
This KS4 resource contains worksheet questions (and answers) for all the Physics Required Practicals with each individual exam style 9-1 graded questions. It employs a lot of Maths, AQA working scientifically and AQA style exam questions with model answers. It is normally used at the end of the practical as a test/check of the students understanding, but can also be used as a revision/homework activity. It can also be used as a cover lesson (with answers). Students can also peer/self assess with the answer sheets and also indicate which part they found most difficult on the top right of the paper so that the teacher can flick through and see what needs covering again. It contains: Specific Heat Capacity, Thermal insulation, Resistance, I-V characteristics, Density. Light, Force and Extension, Acceleration, Waves in a solid and Waves in a liquid and Radiation and Absorption. For a free sample (I-V Characteristics) to see the quality, before you consider purchasing click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/i-v-characteristics-required-practical-worksheet-12199364 For a Bundle with the Biology and Chemistry verisons, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/all-physics-chemistry-and-biology-required-practical-revision-9-1-graded-questions-and-answer-12227276 This is an updated version of my most downloaded free resource (see below for free version).

This is a compilation of booklets produced to help students studying for the Foundation level AQA Biology GCSE. They can be used in class or at home. They come with PowerPoints to show in class if needed. They cover: Ecology Homeostasis Infection and Response Inheritance Variation and Evolution I used them in a behaviour unit as attendance affected learning/ I felt students could start where they left off and take the booklet home for revision at the end.

Electrical Models with Animations (suitable for home use)

(0)
Update: Lowered the price if you have to teach this topic at this time This resource of the different electrical models has moving parts to show the students how the model works if they were to see it in real life. It talks about the sweets/matches model, water models (radiator/waterfall), delivery model (coal to Power station) and the ball bearing (chains/rope/dominoes) model and now the Traffic in a City Model. Each model has an animation and asks the students what each part represents and how they can adapt the model to show series/parallel or higher voltage. I have added a worksheet on each model so that students can evaluate each model on how good it is. A master worksheet for adding your own model and a sheet for students to come up with their own model to help their understanding. If you want an animation that shows what happens in a circuit that I made for free (so you can see how bad (or good) my animation skills in powerpoint are, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/understanding-electricity-voltage-and-current-12450133 For more resources free (and paid), check out my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment if you have found this resource useful.

Power lesson
stephenkemp193stephenkemp193

Power lesson

(2)
This is a GCSE Physics resource for KS3 and KS4. It follows the new AQA Science course. It encourages students to think about the power equation. The practical invites them to calculate if they are more powerful than a kettle by planning a practical and testing it out. Let the students find out if they are more powerful than a kettle, by looking at the Power rating on a kettle and then timing themselves (one at a time) running up a set of stairs. You will find that if you have a high mass (like me) you are more powerful then the students who can run up fast, but not in half the time. They will find out they are not quite as powerful as a kettle and they enjoyed the chance of being able to “run” when they are not normally allowed to do this. If you have found this resource useful, pleas comment and also have a look at my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193
