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.
