I am a KS3-4 Physics teacher currently teaching in the North West of England. In addition to physics, I am also pursuing an Astronomy GCSE for my school.
I will only upload items that I am proud of and as such I hope you will agree are of a good quality.

This is a revision task intended to summarise the first half of the forces topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also tailored this worksheet to the combined science specification. Physics trilogy students will need to use a different worksheet (which I have made).
The forces topic is very large so I am splitting the revision of it into two as it does split quite nicely.
Print this back to back to reduce paper wastage.
The last slide is an extension task - students can cut out these question cards and write their own questions using the revision sheet to help them. These can then be passed to other members of the group.
This is a supplementary powerpoint that you could use to deliver this classic activity. you will need sticky tape and paper for the main activity, but this can give it a nice framing and you can link it to whatever topic you require (Forces, Matter, Enrichment day, etc.)
The emphasis is on teamwork.
This is an entirely optional lesson - a reflection lesson that I use after I have marked books and expect homework in. A series of tasks are included on the slides and it is expected that the students will have marking/questions to do from your comments in the books.
This recource is a literacy based question on the title topic for the year 7 scheme of work followed by most boards. Included is a question sheet and the success criteria. The students could use the criteria to write an answer and the either the teacher or the students could assess the answer using the criteria and offer improvements.
This is a fully resourced lesson covering both the positives and negatives of nuclear power as a source of energy, but then goes deeper into the ethics and justifications for where we build them. The main purpose of this is to help develop more higher order thinking about the topic as groups will be tasked to evaluate and justify their choice of site and be able to articulate effective reasoning.
There is also a third task of peer assessment - using a success criteria, the "site selection committee" are then put under scrutiny from the "HM Government" and they have to decide if they made a persuasive enough argument.
It's all made up to be rather thought provoking and fun. Possibly more suited to higher ability in it's current form, but could easily be scaffolded for lower ability classes.
I work in the North West, so unfortunately that's the map you've got! You could easily replace it with your own if you wish with no problems though.
This is a total of 13 quizzes, with answers that are designed to cover the 23 equations students are required to remember for the AQA specification. I also include exam question style questions, units questions and a few of the given equations as well.
Answers are provided at the end. (sometimes in letter form, sometimes in word form)
I used these as starters once a week with my year 11 classes last year and I kept a running tally of scores for my classes. It really helped cement their equation revision!
At £10, you are getting these starters for less than £1 per resource. They take approximately 10-15 mins to complete and mark, to this is in total over 3 hours of lesson resources.
This is a handy sheet you may want to provide your classes - a simple to read list of all the equations required to be remembered for the AQA Physics 2016 curriculum. There is only one HT equation and this has been highlighted.
This is not the definitive list as there are more that WILL be provided in the exam, however I felt it necessary to equip my students as best I could so they can revise these.
This is an introductory lesson into circuit components and drawing circuits. Designed specifically for stretch and challenge. It includes a sorting activity, a designing circuits activity and a mark scheme to go with it. There is also a challenging extension question included and an extra mark scheme for this.
Made specifically to fit into AQA GCSE Physics, but could easily serve as any introduction into circuits lesson.
This is intended as a revision worksheet summary of the Waves topic in AQA Physics 2016. This includes the content relevant to the Trilogy and the Combined Science award. I have managed to keep them on separate pages, so simply print the pages you require (page 2 is Physics Only).
I have used the AQA specification to create all of these questions and as such should not be missing anything major from the topic.
The last slide are question cards you can hand out as an extension for students who finish to make their own questions for their peers.

This is a revision task intended to summarise the first part of the forces topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also included on this the physics only content that is required if you are teaching trilogy. I have made a combined science one as well if that is more suited.

This is a revision task intended to summarise the whole of the atomic structure topic on the new AQA Physics specification. I have used the specification itself to ensure I covered as much as possible, and I have also included on this the physics only content that is required if you are teaching trilogy. I have made a combined science one as well if that is more suited. The physics only are highlighted in orange.

This is my lesson PowerPoint and worksheets I have created to teach the energy transfers topic in the new AQA Physics specification. The worksheets are all ready to be printed as are the mark schemes. It covers both of the required equations for this topic.
This is my lesson and resources on power and using the power equations. I have included my worksheets that I have made to assess the correct use of the power equations. The answers are also included.
This is my lesson on Static Charge for the new AQA Specification. I have included my worksheet that I made for this lesson, but you will need a textbook or some exam questions for the demonstrate section of the lesson or some other form of assessment. AQA will have a range o worksheets that you could use.
Please be aware that this is very similar to one of my year 11 lessons I have, so if you did buy that one, no need to get this one as it's just that but a bit more stripped down!
Should also me noted that this is an Physics only lesson. Not required for Combined award.
This is a Physics only lesson in the Electricity topic of the new AQA Specification. It is a light lesson as there is not a lot of content that the students are required to know. Perhaps stick it together with static charge if you have hour lessons (mine are 50 mins).
You will also need an appropriate AQA worksheet to go with this as I used copyrighted exam questions to assess.
This is my assessment piece for a power sources topic. Concerning Nuclear power, the students must answer the question according to the success criteria. You would then take this away and mark the work and provide feedback. The students would then reflect and improve upon their answer. Useful for either KS3 or 4. I used it with a year 8 class.
This is a worksheet created specifically to help embed mathematical principles in a science context. The worksheet is tasking the students to put things in and take things out of standard form.
This is bundled with an adjoining powerpoint if required.
Lesson used for an interview for an Edexcel P3 lesson. Includes activities on Centripetal Motion and the mechanics of Cyclotrons. All worksheets are provided at the end of the presentation.
This resource contains a powerpoint and an learning mat. The content is a 50 min lesson on different models of circuit (for non specialists, I have included a slide at the start that may be useful). The idea is simply to demonstrate the models and evaluate each one. There are extra activities/printouts at the end of the powerpoint if needed.
I have also included the learning mat that goes with this lesson that can be stuck into books.
