Resolving Vectors and Resultant Force with Scale Diagrams

(4)
A clear and simple exercise to help students with resolving vectors and finding Resultant Vectors using Scale Diagrams. Built to satisfy the GCSE AQA Physics specification, but useful with all GCSE Physics courses. This could also be completed electronically (in Word) by the students - a good ‘distance learning’ or eHomework. There is a lesson ppt as well.

The National Grid

(3)
Requisties - plastercine, string, A3 sheets. Set of resources I made for a lesson obs. Pupils discover how and why we have a national grid by solving the challenge cards handed out at different times. Differentiate your lesson by who you give the challenge cards to and which role pupils carry out, as well as questioning and hint post it notes.

National Grid - Why transformers are used

(0)
This activity presents the high voltage and low voltage scenarios and guides students through calculating the wasted power in each scenario This helps students to see the incredible value of using High Voltage in the national grid and the role of Transformers. This is aimed as a numerical task. It’s a separate challenge to get students to articulate this, but this exercise will spell out the numbers for them. I suggest a sentence sequencing task to help less able students to articulate a written answer to justify the role of transformers, after completing this scenario comparison

I made this as a revision tool for a CORONA VIRUS distance learning revision lesson. It will work just as well in a classroom … The crossword can be done online - so we as a class collaborated and I projected my version which students volunteered or were asked to give answers. Crossword here: https://crosswordlabs.com/view/physics-c-particle-model-of-matter Answer sheet attached as image. Please rate and comment feedback on this free resource. Rating free resources will bump them up the search list. Just a teacher trying to help others for free.

Comets, Meteors, Fireballs and Dwarf Planets make up some of the exotic bodies in our solar system. Aimed at GCSE Astronomy students, this crossword has some handy definitions to objects in the solar system. There is a handy clues sheet in case you need it for differentiation purposes or younger students. Please rate and comment :)

Lunar Rilles and Wrinkle Ridges - GCSE Astronomy

(1)
This is a pupil led research work with images and a template space for work - students create a magazine article on Rilles and Wrinkle Ridges. They will need access to information or the internet. Could be a useful research lesson or homework. It has a peer assessment space and pupil response form at the end as well

Van Allen Belts task

(1)
This is a research task on Van Allen belts with a criteria and an answer form template. I find that pupils produce better work when given the structure / expected product. Of course, the criteria should be modified with levels / grades and a peer assessment form, but this is easily done should you wish.

GCSE Astronomy - The equation of Time exercise. Please share your stuff too! I know it's a pain, but we need to help each other out here. Please don't charge for resources - this is a great forum for resources and it sucks that TES are wrecking it by allowing it to be monetised. Rate and review if you liked this resource. Thanks. :)

As it says on the tin. Looking at the emission curves of different temperature stars and their spectral type and colour. **please upload your resources!** We need to grow the bank of astronomy stuff on TES. *please consider the plight of us poor teachers before applying charges to resources* All mine are free :) Thanks in advance.

Uncertainty and Data Handling - Pendulum Experiment AQA Physics

(0)
This is an exercise in data handling, uncertainty propagation, graphical plotting and finding the uncertainty of a gradient. The purpose is walk students through the process of analysing data and concluding with a result and absolute uncertainty on their value for g. The error bars come out quite large so as to show a clear example of a ‘worst line of best fit’ within the error bars. This took my yr 13s a full lesson, with intermittent interventions from myself. Students enjoyed the task and their confidence with data handling has moved forward as a result. An worked solution has been included and ppt is included. Uncertainties given to 1 sig fig as is the norm.
