These lessons contain ray diagrams, power calculations and lens practicals. Quizzes, question sets and practicals are in the presentation. This presentation was originally used to teach the topic at GCSE and stop short of the A-level lens equation.

Exoplanets are very frequently in the news, they are fascinating. This lesson contains a short presentation followed by the (addictive) Planet Crash simulation game or an iPad app task. A really fun lesson - particularly useful for the end of term.

Includes careful notes and diagrams, results from a practical and exam style questions. My favourite item here is an extension task to stretch the most able in your group - students find the maximum power output from a cell using differentiation or trial and improvement.

This quiz contains eighteen multiple choice questions. Students should have a gut feeling for the size of their answers. This quiz should help them to learn to self-check that they are calculating quantities with the correct order of magnitude. Contains a page summarising the answers and an introduction by way of The Hitchhikers Guide.

Two worksheets with answers on atomic symbols, isotopes, alpha and beta decay, fission and fusion nuclear equations. A very brief presentation is included with examples for alpha and beta decay. When my students met this topic in A2 OCR Physics, these resources provided a satisfying recap. Students generally muddled through the questions with answers requiring little teacher input. These worksheets would also work well for GCSE students.

This lesson is designed to get students to recognise stars, planets and constellations with just their eyes. The lesson contains notes on Orion and the Plough and a short quiz.
