Andy Darvill's TES stuff

Average Rating5.00
(based on 5 reviews)

I've been teaching science/physics for quite a while, and written lots of stuff along the way. Much of what I've written is for Nelson Thornes, OUP and SamLearning, but here are some things that are properly mine and I can publish here. Hope you find them useful. At www.darvill.clara.net you'll find some more items, and minisites about gcse radioactivity, energy resources and the electromagnetic spectrum which can occupy a class for a whole lesson and more.

A quick lesson plenary with a couple of on-screen questions about springs, in an “underline the correct answer” format. The first slide is the questions only, you could give that to students either on paper or electronically, the second slide animates the answers once they’ve had a go.

A multiple-choice quiz written in PowerPoint with hyperlinks, then exported as a pdf. Formatted so it’ll fit nicely on a phone screen. A simple idea which I came across on [The Physics Teaching Podcast]https://the.physicsteachingpodcast.com/). I’ve included the PowerPoint file so you can edit or adapt it if you feel the urge.
Radioactivity - Properties of alpha, beta and gamma

Radioactivity - Properties of alpha, beta and gamma

An overview of the properties of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. The sheet consists of a blank table with jumbled answers underneath for pupils to sort. I use it during the first lesson of the topic where I show the class radioactive sources and what happens when you put paper/aluminium/lead in front of them. See www.darvill.clara.net/nucrad for more gcse radioactivity stuff.
