This is a comprehensive guide to the practical skills students must master to successfully complete the practical skills section of the AQA A level physics exam. The guide gives clear examples with common pitfalls students make in the exam. Contents include: Reading micrometre and vernier scales Sources of random and systematic error and how to practically reduce them Absolute and percentage uncertainties Combining uncertainties Graphs, gradients and error bars Planning an investigation (focussing on how to tackle these style of exam questions)

This is a complete set of PowerPoints to aid you in teaching the Particle Physics topic for AQA A level (New specification from 2017) I have included multiple choice quizzes in each lesson to ensure students are consolidating their understanding. As well as discussion activities and informative videos where relevant. I have also included 6 mark exam style questions where relevant to ensure students are practicing their long written answers. I have included a revision mat for the particles topic which helps students organise their knowledge. I have also included a tarsia puzzle which my year 12’s enjoyed as part of their revision for the topic.
