Designed to be delivered to KS4 groups. This continues from discussing parallel forces and explains to students how to calculate what forces occur when an object is on a slope. Using the example of a trolley on a hill the students are lead step by step through the different forces and how to draw a triangle of forces. From this they are given worked examples and then a differentiated task to determine confidence levels. Ends with a dicussion about forces acting in different directions.

This lesson was designed to deliver to KS4 but can be altered for lower levels if required, had greatly assisted my lower levels to understand and access this topic. Also a useful tie in for the physics topic on ‘radiation’. Preview in PDF Goes through the history of the atom from Ancient Greece, John Dalton, JJ Thomson and finally the Rutherford experiment. Animation shows the different paths the alpha particles took and enables the students to visualise how the different paths helped to explain the nuclear model and disprove the plum pudding. Plenary is exam style questions with answers provided.

This lesson introduces the halogens. It gives general information into their naming and uses linked to their properties. Using an animation it shows how the covalent bond is formed to allow the Halogens to be diatomic. Students are then lead through a step by step guide to explaining the reactivity of the Halogens with regards to their electrons and distance from nucleus. Displacement is explained using a simple anecdote. The experiment is provided if you wish to attempt this with your students. After explaining / practical there are equations questions to test the students learning. Plenary is exam style questions.

Teacher lead lesson which can be tailored to be used with student research. Easily delivered to KS3 or KS4. Introduces students to the topics of waves.

Clear examples of labeling wave diagrams including wavelength and amplitude. Followed by practice to test student’s understanding. Word match activity to ensure understanding of key terminology. Answers provided. Plenary is exam style questions for lower and higher tier. Answers provided.

Leads the students through the development of the periodic table from Newland's to Mendeleev's. Links to YouTube video that explains Mendeleev's discovery. Differentiated questions to help students understanding. Final task introduces the students to trends and helps them to see first hand how the table is used.

(Updated) Designed for year 9 class. Easily adjusted to support all levels. This lesson enables the students to recall atomic structure and apply information to learn about isotopes. Visual guide to ion formation. Worksheet included for calculating subatomic particles with given data. Answer sheet included Introduction and practice questions for relative atomic mass based around Chlorine

A guided PowerPoint I used for my year 10. Can be altered for all levels. Covers difference between speed and velocity. Scaffolds the learning of acceleration and relevant equations. Challenges students to draw velocity / time graphs. QR code provided for students to discover acceleration and how to calculate it. Extension questions provided. Differentiated homework for higher and lower ability students.

Made to deliver to year 10 class. Easily tailored to deliver to higher or lower levels. Animations attached to lead students through base ideas of cell division and natural cell death. Explores the ideas of unregulated cell division leading to tumour formation. Detailed presentation on factors that affect chances of cancer (smoking, ionizing radiation, ultraviolet and carcinogens). Key word matching and independent research tasks to help students understand benign and malignant tumours. Exam style questions for higher and lower level plenary.

Designed to the new AQA specification. Delivered to year 10. Can be altered to suit different ability levels. Introduces and defines exercise. Allows students to discuss and determine the reason behind the bodies response to exercise. Covers anaerobic respiration and how lactic acid is created and removed. Model graph for oxygen debt allowing students to understand recovery time. Summary questions attached. Plenary is exam style practice (higher and lower available)

Designed for KS3, easily modified for lower ability. Including table with mass and weight and suitable graph for any who find this difficult Certain slides from free resources on TES. Any issues please let me know. All reviews appreciated.

Explanation of electrolysis, including introduction to copper sulphate practical Includes: Presentation, recapping on ions, explaining process and key phrases to help understanding of the process. Assessment based on past papers (with answers for teacher) Worksheet and diagram, can be easily tailored for higher ability. Any feedback is appreciated

Designed to teach KS4 about how to calculate resultant forces when the forces are non-collinear. Gives examples of when forces which occur in such a way. Animated guide to drawing a parallelogram as a worked example, colour coded for ease of viewing. Gives students past exam style questions for practise

Designed to be delivered to both KS3 and KS4. Gives introduction to Chromatography with Q codes to enable research. Soham murders used as context for real life use of analysis. Animation of TLC to allow visual learners to see how chromatography works. Worked examples of Rf values Questions for activity to ensure understanding and retention Plenary is exam style questions with answers.

This is tailored to the New AQA Spec (exam 2018) 2 lessons (Delivered in 2 separate hours, easily combined for double), based around student lead learning (text book assisted) Covers structure of the heart with labelled diagrams Discusses the flow of blood around the body Explains the need for blood Exam style questions for assessment of topic Please leave a review. Really helps

Designed for my top set but can be altered for lower ability. Contains animations to assist student understanding of lung expansion and bloodflow. Includes research activity into the functioning of the lungs and structural adaptations of the alveoli. Contains practise past exam questions for plenary

Covers an introduction based around the New Spec AQA 6.1 Can be altered for all ability groups. Introduces energy systems. Challenges students to determine difference between active and stored energy. Links to wasted energy and sanky diagrams. Leads students through becoming confident with calculating efficiency Contains Plenary based around quick fire subject knowledge and retention

Delivered to a lower ability KS4 group. Discusses gravitational potential energy. Allows students to understand the factors that affect the stored potential energy. Gives numerous visual examples and practise questions. Content check for plenary

Visual based lesson that introduces alkanes and how to identify them. Works well with a modelling lesson if possible. Designed to assist with numeracy. Covers the extraction of crude oil, the difference in naming of alkanes and the formula to define alkanes

Introduction for friction. Can be adapted for different ability groups. Includes real life application and model answers to build exam technique.

Delivered to KS4 for the 'Atomic structure and Radiation' section of the AQA specification. Recaps the structure of the atom in detail including charges and relative mass. Allows the students to define isotopes and link them to mass numbers. Discusses the formation of ions and how they are formed for atoms to become stable (linking nicely to radiation later in the topic) Worksheets are attached for assessing learning at either point as preferred. Plenary is a visual based class task to determine student understanding of electron gain vs loss.
