GCSE Science and Physics - Speed is often taught as a quick recap in the first lesson (of e.g. AQA unit P2). This resource has a A3 size table mat of starter activities (some speed questions, a distance-time graph question, a v-t graph question, a mini-word search - something for everybody). Included are ideas for a 7 station carousel of measuring speed of different objects (+ 2 ideas for extension activities). This should be a fantastic prompt for discussion and movement from "re-cycled" learning.

Wow! GCSE Physics / Science outstanding resource. Great for the Force and motion topic. AQA Edexcel etc. Recently used as part of a lesson awarded outstanding. A card sort for a parachute jump that offers options for differentiation (cut vertically for a simpler experience!). Includes a resultant force diagram for each section (which you will find useful given recent exam questions over the last few years). The cards include pictures, resultant force, a force diagram, etc, etc! As a bonus there is a starter to get the students thinking along the correct lines - a smaller card sort about a car reaching its maximum speed (try it - it works!!!). Using these card sorts should facilitate rapid progress, but in case you have got some extra-quick students, I've added a brief question sheet as well. For my lesson (which has worked for outstanding in a trial for someone else as well). We got the students to make parachutes (of different sizes) for a toy soldier. Carrier bag, swing bin liner, wheelie bin liner, etc! You know the one.

I’ve put this powerpoint together for the last lesson before the trilogy science physics paper 1. Includes questions (and answers!) on required practicals, list of formulas and a selection of more common content for revision. I’m really excited about using this - it will also print out to make a booklet Enjoy!

I don't want to slow the pace for Year 7 (or Year 5 .....or Year 6) by stopping to continually explain how to set-out the "write-up" of an experiment! This resource has all of the common sections (prediction, apparatus, method, etc. etc.). Just the mere fact that a structure is provided will help the least able to write something!!! Would also work well as a homework frame. Space at the end to add a glossary (spellings!), so once you've bought it once it will find uses for a number of topic areas. This runs over 2 pages of A4, so either: photocopy onto A3, use as double sided A4 or [my favourite] print on A5 and stick it into the student's books (who need it) prior to the lesson - helping to keep the progress going in your outstanding lesson.

The exam-boards draft specifications for GCSE [2018] Physics / Science now demand that students remember most of the scientific formulae. This is a simple tracker with a list and space for students to tick (or put a smiley face) when they have covered each formula in class, then eventually memorised them. It's a time saver!

I've spent ages looking for this and couldn't find it anywhere - a simple list of Physics lessons for the new GCSE Science (I've included SoW references for AQA). I've based this on a 3 year SoW, with one hour per week (easy to copy and paste into other variations). For your ease, the first two and a half years are the common content with GCSE Science (trilogy) and the last half year is the extra content for GCSE Physics. It is worth the £1 to save yourself the four hours making this! Included as an Excel file

I've searched all over for something like this - so I decided to make my own. All of the steps in the life-cycle of a star to display around your room (with directions to the next step). Included are a set of cards with different stars / etc. on them (e.g. Rigel) - students then have to record the next steps for that star. Think about it - it's a great idea. The cards detail the mass, so the students have to decide Red Giant or Super-giant, etc! Used for a lesson observation .......................... outstanding (follow up it with some of the widely-available exam questions to show profound progress!!!)

From our “outstanding science lesson” series. We all know that many students struggle with using the formulas in unit P2 Physics. They either don’t know where to start, or they drop silly marks. With this resource you get: -self-assessment sheet -a test on units (avoid those silly dropped marks!) -questions for every different equation that is commonly used on P2. Not just one, we give you a few for each + some harder ones as well (it’s all about differentiation!). These total a number of pages - use in full (this would even work for a cover lesson or homework) or cut and paste. -support card sort for units -a homework sheet / test of mixed equations -one of our schools has kindly sent in their answers (included as well) It’s so hard planning outstanding lessons when you’ve covered all of the content - this “lesson in a box” will help you do just that. You shouldn’t have favourites, but this is our favourite resource!!! [Also check-out our P1 and P2 check-lists…]

Something a bit different for you - a treasure hunt to stick-up around your classroom. Your students can then go round writing down the correct sequence of questions & answers. Good fun and prompted quite a few discussions with my groups. Was used as a useful change of exercise during revision sessions. I’d looked for something similar for Physics and not found anything. Enjoy!

It’s a neat idea. Students always lose marks on the equation part of unit P1 - so here is something to help. Has been used in an outstanding lesson. Self-assessment, then questions on each of the equations used. Each block of questions includes a harder one for differentiation / showing progress. For students struggling with their units, a handy card sort is included (come on - be honest - do you know the units for specific heat capacity?) Also included is a homework sheet with examples of each equation. Thanks to one of our schools for working out the answers - included.

Homework sheet with a velocity time graph and a distance time graph. The sheet includes opportunity to calculate velocity and speed, but is also accessible for less able students. The homework finishes with opportunity for the students to make their own graphs representing a scenario which is given to them.

Just a short series of questions on the periodic table. Differentiated to two levels, these questions are ideal for the end of work on periodic table for KS3 or KS4. If you are a "lazy" teacher like me, these can be printed as A5 sticky labels and stuck straight into a student's book as part of your marking. We have to do a reflective improvement task at my school. A good time-saver!

Wow ! Following the success of our P1 unit, we’ve done the same for P2. Check this out - revision list, room to put a smiley face, a simple question (this would be great homework) and then a list of when this topic has been in the exam. We’ve given you a quick wordsearch as well. Already used by someone to do an outstanding lesson (could be you next ! how hard is it to get outstandings at the end of the course ?!?) Enjoy!

Wow! We are going to make you very happy with this one! A list of the likely examination topics for unit P1 (GCSE science / physics)… with space for self assessment …with an example question for each … with a list of when that topic featured on any of the last four AQA P1 papers (including question numbers - think about how useful this is). Oh go on then - if I haven’t given you the bones of an outstanding lesson (rooted in self-assessment and progress…), I’ve thrown in a wordsearch in case you are short of a quick starter. This is great - enjoy!!!

After the success of our pre-exam paper 1 revision powerpoint / write-on resource, here is the paper 2 version. Show it just before the exam, send it home for final homework or maybe just use it in your last lesson!

I’ve been really excited to use this - three pages of Nandos-style differentiated formula questions (all from Trilogy physics GCSE 9-1 paper 1). Answers included. The easy ones are …ermm… easy and the harder ones are …ermmm… harder. This is brilliant for pre-exam revision / final homework / just before the exam etc. Would make great cover work too!

Need holiday homework? Or maybe you’ve got one last lesson with your KS4 group before the holidays… Need to leave cover? This is ideal for you - contains a range of questions (all different types) - can be used in class or for homework. All content is from AQA P1 unit (energy resources, Big Bang, SHC, etc.)

Following the success of our Paper 1 Nandos resource, we’ve made 1 for GCSE trilogy Physics paper 2! Differentiated questions - easy at the bottom, through to hard at the top. Great homework, cover or last-minute exam revision.

Simple but effective - some simple flashcards (fold them over), graphs to match up and a sheet of questions. The basis of an outstanding lesson for me and something I’m planning to use just before the exam.
