Space Physics Topic Bundle: 4 complete, no-prep PowerPoint lessons covering the whole AQA GCSE Physics Space topic (4.8),** with exam questions, tasks and answers** – no worksheets needed.
Covers our solar system, how stars form, the life cycle of a star (from nebula to white dwarf, neutron star or black hole), how elements are made by fusion, the orbital motion of planets, moons and satellites, red-shift, and the Big Bang theory. Note that this topic is for AQA GCSE Physics (separate science) only - you do not need to buy this if you only teach Combined Science.
As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.
My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview videos show a representative sample of slides from each resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
Lessons included:
Solar System
Life Cycle of Stars
Orbital Motion
Red Shift and Big Bang
What’s Included in each lesson:
Starter / Do Now Activity
Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
Stretch and challenge where applicable
Answers for all questions
All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
The lessons were written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but are very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

All presentations come with worked examples, solutions and homeworks.
These are fully updated PowerPoints will all exercises with full worked solutions.
This resource covers maths skills required for Physics GCSE exam questions (combined science physics also). It is a power point with over 70 slides that include; teaching the required skills, practice tasks and selected past exam questions embedded (from EDEXCEL but could be used for any exam board as practice). It is organised in an order that flows from one skill to another with action buttons that take you directly to each skill and home buttons so you can easily return to the home slide.
This resource can be used at the start of the GCSE course (by providing pupils with a copy of the equation sheet) or as revision before the exam when pupils should know the required equations. This cannot be done in 1 lesson and could be spread over a number of lessons or dipped into when a skill is required!
Much of this is relevant to Biology and Chemistry also.
Skills covered are:
Standard index units
Significant figures
Converting units
Equations - Substitution
Equations - rearranging
Standard form
Percentage and efficiency

My Lessons include:
Visually appealing graphics that encourage engagement throughout a lesson.
‘Do now/Starter’ activities with music to encourage fast and easy settling as the pupils arrive to lesson.
Progress steps: By having the student’s track their own progress, it creates ownership of goal achievement. The graphic representation of the students’ progress can be highly motivating. If improvements are not achieved, students can reflect on what changes need to be made to the intervention plan.
Peer and self-assessments (AfL) encouraging use of green pen self-assessment and purple pen peer assessment . This can be edited to meet the expectations of your school policy
Formative assessments to consolidate learning throughout (exam-style questioning, linking questions)
Plenary activities.
Extensions and challenge questions to reach higher ability students.
On screen timers to aid lesson plan and pupil focus.
Implementing subject specific key words throughout to encourage literacy
