I love making resources to make lessons engaging and provide pupils with lots of chances for checking their understanding with low stakes quizzes and practicing their new knowledge with independent practice. Please get in contact via Twitter if you have any issues with the resources I have made and uploaded, or if you have any types of resources you would like me to make more of.

Four A4 pages of quick questions and answers about the AQA GCSE Physics Paper 1 Electricity topic, to help pupils revise independently, or with someone asking them the questions. All of the answers are underneath each question.
This powerpoint involves pupils thinking about what they would need if they were to find another planet for humans to survive on. It takes pupils through a series of demonstrations (videos links available if you don’t have the equipment) and practicals that they are able to do to get them thinking about what they would need for finding and surviving on a different planet. The slides have some pictures and minimum words on. The majority of the work in the notes section of the slides, which goes through what you can discuss with the pupils and any video links you can show them linked to this. This is adaptable, to use as a ‘science show’/assembly or as a series of lessons. With the practical side, it would take more than one lesson. I have used this style for a few demonstrations for later primary school years and also early high school years and they have all really enjoyed the mix of demos and practicals that they can take part int.
I made these documents so when we go through a specification point in class students can keep a track. There is also space for them to date and RAG each time they go back over each specification point. This is a really quick and easy way for the student to track what they can do and what areas they need to improve on.
The PDF pages are A4, so you can print them 4 pages on one on card, back to back, so the ‘State the equation linking…’ is on one side and the equation answer is on the other side. This is just designed to help students memorise the physics equations and easy to use for self testing or testing in partners. I have printed the different units on different coloured card so they are easy to separate for particular revision sessions too.
These are set out one A4 page on the PDF. I print them four pages per sheet and double sided, so the ‘draw the symbol for…’ is on one side and the picture of the symbol is on the other. Students can use them to test if they can draw the symbol, or use them the other way up and see if they can remember the name of the symbol.
