GCSE physics revision resources

To help my students I wrote these in the style of the new exams. Two versions one for combined one for separate.

Exam analysis sheet included, with what to improve on and where to find help

Give to your students from January. Each day has a different question for them to work out for preparation and revision of the 1-9 GCSE.

Questions for combined, separate, F and H tier students. Dates are from Jan 2018 (so they may need to be slightly altered if you use in 2019 onwards)

Questions for students to complete on energy stores for the new GCSE. Matches the new way of teaching energy. In the first questions students write down energy stores at the start point and end point, in the second set of questions they analyse "model" answers and suggest corrections.

Answers are on the second sheet.

Real life kinetic energy calculations for students to practice. Starts off with a worked example and progressively gets harder. There are also a couple of questions that require conversions from grammes to kg.
Excellent introduction to the formula but also good revision practice.

This is a set of 9 questions using the v2 = u2 + 2as formula, suitable for use with GCSE/IGCSE classes. The questions involve some re-arrangement of the formula and a small amount of unit conversion, so are suitable for more mathematically able students.
The questions are worth a total of 30 marks and are appropriate as a homework or revision exercise.

I designed this resource to give students practice at remembering and selecting the appropriate equations for AQA P5 physics. Some physics only content is included so it may not be suitable for trilogy students.
I have included the mark scheme, the answers given should be to the appropriate number of significant figures.

This 60+ page revision guide is designed to give all pupils a boost in their understanding of the new AQA GCSE Physics specification .

This revision guide focuses on the AQA Physics and AQA Combined Science: Physics unit 4.6 (Electricity). It is aimed at teacher's who are after long term cover work for the Physics specification, tutors who are delivering this specification and are after something more substantial than a revision guide, and as a consolidation tool at the end of the electricity unit for students or a learning task to complete outside of the classroom along side the teaching of this unit.

This guide contains a summary of the following:

* Static electricity and Electric fields for the Physics only course
* Circuit symbols and current
* Series and parallel circuits
* V=IR
* Ohmic and semi conducting components
* Sensor and detector circuits
* AC and DC
* Plugs and the earth wire
*Power, energy and charge
* A summary page containing key criteria from the module

There are also 1-4 pages of questions for each of the section, with answers provided at the back for self assessment.

Within this pack, there is an answer pack (designed for teachers and tutors to use when assessing the answers). Each file is offered as a pdf and a fully editable ppt file to amend the structure to suit your delivery of the course. This is also ideal for teachers delivering other courses who would like to add or remove content.

Please be aware that fonts used in this booklet may not be available on your computer, but can be downloaded free from font squirrel (link attached below).

Please leave feedback to let me know what you think of this, any things you would like to see in later units (or if there are any areas for improvement!).

Enjoy

THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING RESOURCE. 80 exam style questions aimed at AQA 9-1 PHYSICS (combined and separate) GCSE students. I have tested it out and it improved my student’s grade by at least half a grade in their January mocks. It improves recall of equations, correct use of significant figures and the rearranging of equations. It includes a contents checklist page this can be printed out as a booklet or used individually as top quality starters.

*Includes EXAM 6 MARK QUESTION with the success criteria!*

I made this revision mat on A3 sized paper and it is double sided. I couldn't find much in terms on revision so decided to made one that combines everything for 'electricity and circuits' in the combined science course.

Students found it very useful in helping them to revise - it took them all lesson to complete.

I have also made one for the topic of health and disease, plants and their structures radioactivity, acids and alkalis, chemical calculations, respiration and the heart, energy and forces plus electrolysis!

Please look at my other mats if interested.

A page per topic on the new AQA year 10 (paper 1) physics course. Answers included. Intended for revision.

This 17 page revision guide is designed to give all pupils a boost in their understanding of the new AQA GCSE Physics specification. This part of the revision guide focuses on the Energy and Transfers unit, and covers roughly 2 lessons worth of content per page. This content includes:

* Equations to learn
* A unit conversion table
* Energy stores and transfers
* Thermal conductivity
* Hooke's Law
* Energy and power
* Efficiency

Within this guide, there are 2 pages that are dedicated to explaining to students how to answer specific questions. There are then 12 summary questions at the back of the guide for students to apply their knowledge to new situations and practice their technique.

There are levelled success criteria at the end of this section that can be used by pupils to self assess their understanding, and name areas for development and strength within the topic.

More areas will be developed over the coming weeks.

The topics within this guide will be most effectively used with the structure of lessons that I have developed, which can be found in my shop (link attached below). However, it can be easily adapted to follow other schemes of work.

Please leave feedback to let me know what you think of this, any things you would like to see in later units or if there are any areas for improvement.

Please note, that answers for the summary questions are not yet available but will be added to this in the coming weeks.

3 separate "fill in the gaps" mind maps. Great as an end of topic summary or a revision tool.
Topics:
P4- Electrical Circuits
P4- Series and Parallel
P5- Electricity in the Home

Suitable for combined science and physics only.

revision mats for new AQA specification more for higher tier topics 1-4
Energy, electricity, particle model and Atomic Structure

Revision tasks for the new AQA spec (2016). My students found this useful to help them revise for their end of unit test.

Revision timetable and resource bank. To use: print and give to the students, put it up in the lab, send it home to parents or publish as an electric copy.

QR codes and hyperlinked topic titles take the students to a revision resource (mostly BBC Bitesize), on most days there is a key diagram and a selection of subtopics to revise.

This resource is designed to chunk the challenge of revision, giving students two months to revise every topic required for the mock exam that Edexcel are using to calibrate results. The calendar starts on the first of March and goes up until two days before the first exam.

Revising is a vital skill that many teachers neglect to teach their pupils. Most students struggle to plan their revision and rely on pre-exam cramming, as these students will not sit their final exam this year we need to ensure we help them retain the information. Spreading it out like this makes it an achievable challenge and will help them with long-term retention.

to help students revise

Useful for revision or to support your teaching in lessons, this large .pdf file contains information, formulas, questions (with answers), explanations, diagrams and definitions of quantities.



331 pages long. I recommend you display in full-screen. You can zoom in to parts of interest. Parts of the presentation link to other parts.



This contains the full course. I may add more slides in the future, and update this file, but this includes everything the student needs to know.

A knowledge organiser for P1. It contains all the key knowledge from P1 Energy topic for the new GCSE.

I set revision tasks for students from the start of the topic, e.g. learn 1-8 and 14-16. I then delete parts of the organiser (see slide 2) and make them fill it in for low stakes testing at the beginning of the next lesson. Very important for the new GCSE which has a lot of content including equations that must be remembered.

For AQA Combined Science (Trilogy).

A revision lesson on terminal velocity and newton's Laws, includes a differentiated worksheet getting gradually more difficult for grade 8-9 students.

Revision summary for those students doing the new double GCSE (Trilogy) specification. Covers all of the information needed for the end of topic test.

Fold the edges to the middle to make 'doors'. Cut along the lines between the words (wave speed, charge flow etc) to make flaps which reveal the equation underneath. A space inside allows the student to add units and the triangle to rearrange the equation. The spaces on the back allow the student to rearrange the equations.
Could be used in class, for homework or for revision.

Task cards have such a wide range of uses and should be a stable of many teachers classrooms. In this product I have included 45 different task cards on the topic of circuits. An answer sheet is also provided. The 45 cards are broke down into 3 difficulties represented by the number of lit lamps on the cards.

I have also included a Powerpoint with blank cards which are fully editable in case you would let to make some of your own.

I hope you enjoy using these cards. If you think something is missing please let me know and I will add it to the cards ASAP.

Enjoy!

RAG rating sheet can be reduced to A5 size. When printing select multiple pages and print two to a page.
The multiple choice quiz has 48 questions with an explanation for the correct answer, and hints if a wrong answer is selected. You could also copy and paste any of the questions into an existing PowerPoint.
There is a revision sheet where students answer questions. There is a pdf file and the PowerPoint file. The PowerPoint file is editable. Answers are included

Grey ones are to make it easier to remove some for use with low ability groups. Modified for slightly simpler language from Edexcel published resources.

Lots of possible revision activities:

Keyword matching: Match word to meaning (laminated/cut and stick)

Foldable: Fold cut between the definitions and fold over to learn the meanings

Grouping: by no. marks awarded/difficulty

Examples: Come up with question from topic X using keyword Y

Design mark scheme for Q X based on keyword Y

Practise: (Low ability) objects such as sloths/choc bars – put the word and description next to it e.g. compare, evaluate etc

Low ability could remove grey ones before begin activities

Discuss/ MWB/choose which words from WB: What language would you use for keyword X?

If this is the answer… what was the command word...? (fairly open questioning)

21 multiple choice quiz on Powerpoint + answers covering all equations the pupils have to learn for GCSE Combined Science - Physics Paper
