This bundle consists of 10 sections covering the “forces and movement” chapter of the unit Forces and Motion in KS4 GCSE physics.
Each section consists of a PDF document designed for pupils to use as a handout to be integrated into the lesson. There is a corresponding document for teachers - it consists of my own notes and solutions to questions and tasks.
A typical layout of each section includes:
setting learning objectives
learning the theory
examples
small tasks
exam-style questions
This bundle is also great for revision and recapping key ideas for pupils in year 11 before their exams.
Below are the individual sections that I’ve divided the unit of Forces and Motion into. I hope that this resource is helpful and saves you plenty of time!

Radioactivity GCSE Physics
I got my pupils to make their own radiation badge to learn about alpha, beta, and gamma radiation’s penetrating power. They cut out ‘photographic films’ and darkened the areas that would be affected when the badge is exposed to each type of radiations.
I have included a few versions of the activity so that you can print out the version most suitable for you and your class.
Hope this is useful in your pupils’ learning process!
Here’s a handout that I give my physics students for when we learn about the difference between stationary waves and progressive waves.
I’ve also included two videos to go along with this:
Video to explain the theory
Video to show you how to carry out an experiment to find the speed of light using the idea of nodes and anti-nodes in standing waves - I had a lot of fun doing this!
Enjoy!
Here’s a worksheet for projectile motion in A Level physics. I’ve also included a video that explains the graphs of motion for an object thrown upwards and experiences free fall.

There is also a revision mat / knowledge organiser in full color and can be printed as an A3 sheet. (45min to 1 hour worth of revision for students)
Learning objectives covered:
Explain what is meant by the poles of a magnet.
Plot the magnetic field around a bar magnet.
Describe magnetic materials and induced magnetism.

I’ve used these resources with my students for the teaching of “solids, liquids and gases” or also known as “states of matter” for GCSE physics. They lasted for more than 7 lessons (45min each period), which will differ depending on your set’s ability and the duration of each period.
I’ve tried to include as much detail as possible in the teaching notes. I’ve included answers to all the questions and tasks in these resources.
Enjoy!

I am following the AQA science (physics) syllabus but this resource is suitable for anyone teaching KS3 or KS4 science (specifically physics).
Hope this resource is helpful for you. Please do let me know if there's any suggestions for improvement. I aim to upload more lessons following this topic. Check out some bundles I've put together.
Enjoy!
Here’s a worksheet (with solutions) for a lesson on latent heat and energy-temperature graphs (heating curves and cooling curves). I’ve also included a video that I’ve made to explain the idea of heating an ice cube and its change of states.
