A collection of revision notes (from BBC Bitesize), and relevant exam questions, to support Biology AQA GCSE students. I hand these out to work through in class or to use a revision guides to work on at home. Yes it takes a lot of printing, but I hope you find them useful - or email them to the pupils to complete in their own time? Enjoy!
What is denisty and why do objects float? This is a Powerpoint presentation with differentiated worksheets to match each pupils ability (hopefully!). The practical I accompanied it with was getting the pupils to layer substances of different densities.
This was actually the lesson I did for an interview. I hope you find it useful.
Two worksheets to help pupils practice using and rearranging the equation for Hooke's Law: F=kx. A relatively simple equation that suggests that, for an elastic material i.e. a spring, the amount of force applied is equal to the extension of the material. K is the spring constant - how stiff a spring is. I hope you find it useful
A worksheet that requires the pupils to construct their own graphs of motion, and answers questions about them. A harder question at the end to stretch the higher attaining students. Answers included.
A worksheet that guides students through the parts of the eye, how we see, and eye defects and their solutions. I use it to supplement an eye dissection lesson, but can be used independently as well.
A good lesson to do after covering lenses and ray diagrams. I have included a powerpoint presentation that accompanies it, although I cannot take credit for it. I hope you find it useful
A worksheet that requires the pupils to construct their own graphs of motion, and answers questions about them. A harder question at the end to stretch the higher attaining students. Answers included.
Also, a quick starter activity to get pupils to use their initiative when analysing d/t graphs.
A worksheet to be used to consolidate specific latent heat. I cannot take credit for this resource as I found the questions on http://misswise.weebly.com/ but I have formatted it into a reproducible worksheet, and added answers. I hope you can find it useful.
A simple lesson: Hand out molymod kits and get the pupils to select the correct atoms and bond them together. They'll soon realise that Carbon needs to form 4 bonds.... etc. If you go through a few examples of how to draw covalent bonding diagrams, it should be pretty straight forward. I&'ve also attached some past exam questions to use as a hw task. I hope you find it useful. Let me know what you think of it.
A collection of revision notes (from BBC Bitesize), and relevant exam questions, to support Additional Physics AQA GCSE students. I hand these out to work through in class or to use a revision guides to work on at home. Yes it takes a lot of printing, but I hope you find them useful - or email them to the pupils to complete in their own time? Enjoy!
A lesson based around the pupils creating their own pyramids of numbers and Biomass.
An alternative to rummaging in the undergrowth and doing a count up - if its raining you can use the pictures.
It takes you through the calculations.
Includes starter and plenary. Enjoy!
Three differentiated worksheets to help pupils practice using and rearranging the equation for Hooke's Law: F=kx. A relatively simple equation that suggests that, for an elastic material i.e. a spring, the amount of force applied is equal to the extension of the material. K is the spring constant - how stiff a spring is. I hope you find it useful
starting with a concept cartoon on whether lightning would strike a hot air balloon.... a basic lesson introducing current, voltage and how its measured. Hope you find it useful
A worksheet made up of past exam questions about energy, work done, power and efficiency. Mark schemes are included. I used mine for an AS level homework task. I hope you find it useful
A worksheet that assesses the pupils' understanding of hydraulics and builds up the levels of questioning and calculations (hopefully!). The questions go from easy to hard, so the pupils in a class should work through at their own rate, and hopefully there's a challenge there for most pupils. I hope you find it useful. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks
A number of resources for a lesson on terminal velocity, and keeping it relevant with the felix baumgatner jump.
Starter: show Felix Baumgartner clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtvDA0W34I) and ask pupils: what questions do you want to ask about the fall? We will return to these at the end of the lesson. (note: if no questions are asked, add these: Why does felix have to go outside the atmosphere to go faster? Why does he slow down as he is falling? Why was this fall so unusual? etc)
Main:
Pupils draw forces acting on a falling object, and the resultant force. When the parachutist reaches terminal velocity, there is no resultant force and therefore, no acceleration.
Pupils suggest how felix could increase or decrease his terminal velocity.
A good worksheet as the students approach A2 which guides them through the derivation, tests them on rearranging equations, and practises inputting data into equations. When a mass on a pendulum oscillates with simple harmonic motion, T = 2(pi) (sqrt l/g) - the time period is proportional to the root of the length of the pendulum and indirectly proportional to the root of the acceleration due to gravity. I hope you find it useful.
A Powerpoint presentation that goes through the stages of Conservation of Momentum calculations, and a few videos to use as starter/plenary. I hope you find it useful.
