The Earth - The Earth and its Atmosphere (Key stage 3) L.O. To compare the layers of the Earth and to describe the atmospheric composition. Contains a multiple choice pre-test great for introduction for this unit.

Lesson structure: 1. Pupils describe how they think the nervous system works in order to protect them. 2. Nervous response 3. Stimulus / Receptors / Effectors 4. Examples of Sensory organs / Receptor cells / Stimulus 5. Introduce Relay Neurons 6. Reflex and voluntary action Enjoy!

Key stage 3 (Year 8)

Here’s a collection of multiple choice questions (with answers) for Radioactivity, suitable for GCSE key stage 4 level science (physics). They are a mixture of exam-style MC questions and exam-style questions that I have modified into MC questions. I can easily upload these worksheets online and ask my students to either highlight their answers or type their answers into a word document. I’ve separated the MC questions into sections so that you can use them as worksheets or homework. There are 11 sections in total: structure of atoms isotopes stability alpha decay beta decay gamma radiation penetration power half-life dangers and application of radiation fusion/fission nuclear reactors

GCSE physics worksheet/handout on tangent on distance time graph. Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use. Learning objective: Calculate the speed of an object from the gradient of a tangent on a distance-time graph. Happy teaching!

Here's a couple short tasks to get pupils thinking about mitosis. Enjoy!

This bundle consists of 25 sections covering the entirety of the unit Forces and Motion in KS4 GCSE physics. Each section consists of a PDF document designed for pupils to use as a handout to be integrated into the lesson. There is a corresponding document for teachers - it consists of my own notes and solutions to questions and tasks. A typical layout of each section includes: setting learning objectives learning the theory examples small tasks exam-style questions This bundle is also great for revision and recapping key ideas for pupils in year 11 before their exams. Below are the individual sections that I’ve divided the unit of Forces and Motion into. I hope that this resource is helpful and saves you plenty of time! Movement and position 1 Speed, distance, and time 2 Speed and velocity 3 Distance-time graphs 4 Velocity and acceleration 5 Velocity-time graphs 6 Tangent on distance-time graphs 7 Non-uniform acceleration Forces and movement 8 Types of forces 9 Scalars and vectors 10 Force diagrams 11 Resultant forces 12 Newton’s first law 13 Newton’s second law 14 Newton’s third law 15 Mass and weight 16 Terminal velocity 17 Stopping distance Shape and momentum 18 Hooke’s law 19 Center of gravity 20 Moments 21 Principle of moments 22 Stability 23 Momentum 24 Conservation of momentum 25 Change in momentum

Calculations and practice questions for acceleration, physics ks3 and ks4. There's a Tarsia puzzle (print and cut out image) at the end to summarise the lesson and to engage pupils.

Here's a resource I used with year 8 pupils when learning the reactions between acids and carbonates in chemistry. Enjoy!

GCSE physics worksheet/handout on types of forces. Teacher’s copy of the handout includes complete notes and answers to questions. I have included both the PDF and DOC version of the same handout for your ease of use. Learning objective: Define and identify different types of forces. Be sure to check out my bundles section for huge savings! Happy teaching!

I used the resources in this bundle for 3 lessons, covering static electricity. I’ve included in this bundle the following: Powerpoints: Intro to electricity Static electricity Dangers of static electricity 1 x question prompt for when students write down notes while watching videos in ‘Dangers of Static Electricity’ 2 x worksheets with exam-style questions and mark schemes Specification points covered: Identify common materials which are electrical conductors or insulators, including metals and plastics. Explain how positive and negative electrostatic charges are produced on materials by the loss and gain of electrons. Know that there are forces of attraction between unlike charges and forces of repulsion between like charges. Explain electrostatic phenomena in terms of the movement of electrons. Explain the potential dangers of electrostatic charges, e.g. when fuelling aircraft and tankers. I’ve also linked to some videos that I made which you might find interesting. Hope you find this bundle useful!
