Conway’s Game of Life is a cellular automaton, a zero player game in which the progress and future states are determined only by the start configuration. The presentation contains an animated description of the game’s rules, animated gifs and weblinks. The topic is beyond the school syllabus - perhaps to stretch students in Maths/ Sciences/ Programming/ Philosophy. I hope someone finds this handy - I couldn’t find an introductory presentation on this topic elsewhere. Thanks.

This lesson is used to introduce simple harmonic motion. A prior knowledge of circular motion or waves is not needed. 1 Matching pairs starter interactive game 2 Newton’s gravity train 3 Bouncy spring - table and sketch graphs 4 Question sheets

I use these twenty four quiz question with mini-whiteboards to gauge students learning on circuit components, units, current and voltage rules and Ohm's law. Aimed at GCSE level.

Use these questions with your brightest and best year 12 students to occupy and stretch them from the very beginning of the A level physics course. The year 12 A level Physics Olympiad exams are in January and March every year. It’s tricky to start training students on challenging questions at the start of their A level studies as they haven’t covered much relevant content. The questions reproduced in this resource are suitable for the start of the A level physics course - the problem solving is tricky but builds on existing GCSE knowledge. Solutions are provided.

I taught this lesson remotely in 2020 and thought it would be valuable to share. Adiabatic notes and YouTube clips Spark chamber experiment and calculation Exam questions and answers Derivation extension task I developed four interactive ebooks to help teach and test material for the Engineering unit. These are strongly recommended. Moments of Inertia Flywheel Practical pV graphs for Engineering Engine Cycles and Calculations

This presentation contains the integral proof for 22/7>π . A slightly obscure topic but I thought the presentation would be gladly received by someone somewhere.

A simple and very interactive way to introduce distance-time graphs. Challenge students to act out each of four graphs as the timer moves across. You will need to mark out an 8m stretch of classroom for them to move along. I use a high score table adding each competitor in turn. Animated correct answers are supplied as well as an embedded worksheet - a fun consolidation task.

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 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.

Four in a Row is a game for your whiteboard. Nothing needs to be printed or prepared to play this game. The game-play is somewhere between noughts and crosses and blockbusters. Two teams alternate, competing to correctly answer questions on the grid. The board is interactive - clicking tiles changes the colours and also reveals answers. A FREE exemplar Four in a Row game on Mental Maths is available to try before you buy. Four in a Row games on five maths topics are available individually from my shop or as a bundle at a discounted price. The level of challenge is aimed at higher ability level GCSE students. The questions are adapted from AQA exam papers. A pen and paper may help some students at times.

As an indication of the difficulty, the hardest expressions to factorise are; x² + 2x - 35 = (x + 7)(x -5) 2x² + 7x + 3 = (2x + 1)(x + 3)
