A multiple choice revision quiz about the GCSE Physics and GCSE Combined Science (physics) Energy topic.
The quiz is a diagnostic test for different skills and allows students to assess their confidence in their knowledge. Students can identify where the are most confident, and where they think they know the material, but actually have weaknesses.
The quiz questions appear automatically once the quiz starts - 30 seconds per question, with 45 seconds for calculation questions.

As there didn't seem to be a lot on this topic, I've put together some class notes on semiconductors and superconductors, written with the new Edexcel AS / A-level physics specification in mind, but applicable to all specifications.
A couple of bits are based on the IoP's TAP 110 notes, as is the final superconductor research task (TAP 110-3 - available elsewhere on the site).
Mistakes are my own - please let me know if you spot any egregious errors and I will correct.

Part of a set of Physics in Context tasks given to our year 10 and 11 students studying GCSE Physics and GCSE Science A / Additional Science (AQA 2012 specs). Each task was a scenario-based extended piece of writing, assessed out of 25 marks, with some marks given for QWC, referencing, word count etc.
The same task was given to all ability groups, with additional support and scaffolding provided by teachers as appropriate for lower ability groups. The tasks were generally given at the end of the relevant topic.
Students found these tasks useful for understanding the role that physics plays in our everyday lives, and also for preparing them for contextual questions in exams.
Please be aware that some of the links in these pdf files may be out of date as some of these tasks were written quite a while ago - I'll try to update them if I get time. I hope in any case that they may provide inspiration for similar activities.
