Hydraulics and pressure in fluids
A differentiated worksheet, designed to help students to understand pressure in fluids and how simple hydraulic systems work.
Starts with a gap fill, ends with pressure calculations.
Space exploration card sort
Students have the dates, events and names for 6 landmark events in the history of space exploration, they need to match them up. This comes with an answer sheet, and some answer slides to display with pictures.
This is a great start to the satellites topic, and puts the space topic into a human context.
How to answer questions help sheet - science command words
A help sheet to tell students about command words used in Science questions.
I've laminated these, and put them in a folder on the display board so students can help themselves if they need additional support.
Ideal gas law introduction
My lesson on ideal gas laws.
Includes Charles and Boyles.
I usually work through the practicals first, then use this at the end.
Stationary / Standing waves
My lesson on introduction to stationary / standing waves.
Talks students through the start of the topic, including asking them to draw waves moving in opposite directions to describe how they are formed.
Kinetic Theory Derivation
Deriving the PV = 1/3 Nmc2 equation in 7 simple steps.
Pupil either follow the rules to derive the equation, or (for higher level challenge) reorder the steps, then fill them in.
This is a derivation that they are required to know and this is designed to simplify a complex idea!
Please review.

How to's
A collection of help sheets to support students in answering questions, drawing and interpreting graphs, and planning scientific investigations.
I've laminated these and put them in a folder on my display board so that students can help themselves when they need more support.

Physics Word loop game cards
Some word loop games for Energy and Electricity, and Radioactivity.
I've also included some quiz cards on Power, energy and time, P=Et.

Bitesize Physics Revision worksheets (Electricity, energy, waves and motion)
Please Review!
These are worksheets in a series made to summarise and recap topics from GCSE Physics. Some have two versions for dual award and separate scientists.
All worksheets are based on BBC bitesize pages with the same name, with a QR code to guide students to the correct page. All the answers to the front page can be found there.
There is then a 15 mark exam-style question to test their new knowledge. Every worksheet in the series is out of 15 so students can track their progress. I’ve used them with year 11, and set them as homework, that way they are forced to revise early!
This is designed to help revise for the Edexcel iGCSE in Physics, but is fairly universal and should fit with any exam board.
Includes PDFs for easy printing, and word documents for editing.
There are also series for energy, waves and motion which can be bought separately.
Specific heat capacity puzzle
A Tarsia puzzle on Specific heat capacity. Includes units, and equation questions to test concept and maths.
Works well as a class competition, or would make a nice display.
Pupils cut out puzzle pieces to complete one each I’ve included a solution as well.

A-level Physics waves bundle
Some lessons from the waves topic in A-level Physics,
including Interference, young's double slit, diffraction, stationary / standing waves and polarisation
Hubble's law and the Redshift equation
A worksheet allowing pupils to calculate recessional velocity using the change in wavelength of spectral lines from stars.
This focuses on using the v/c = change in wavelength / wavelength equation.
After answering the 5 questions, pupils can conclude that the more distant the galaxy, the faster it is moving, which makes a great introduction to redshift and the Big Bang Theory.
There is an extension task to plot the recessional velocity against distance, calculate Hubble’s constant and calculate the age of the Universe.
If calculated correctly, pupils should conclude that the Universe is 13.8 billion years old.
Answers included.
The extension task is a great way to stretch and challenge the most able at GCSE, while the main task allows weaker pupils to practice using the Doppler shift redshift equation.
This could also act as a nice task for A-level pupils, studying Hubble’s law.
Light 'Em Up - The circuits board game
A game based on Battle ships. (Alternative name: Bulbs and Batt(ery) ships?)
“Ammeter on A3”
“Voltmeter from B1 to B3”
I used this as an entire lesson’s activity, pitting my students against each other in a knock out tournament. The game reinforces and assesses their knowledge of voltage and current in series and parallel. It can be adapted to differentiate by giving them suggested boards and including some numbers. I’ve included a cheat sheet page for this purpose.
How to set up:
Design your board.
Work out the voltage and current at different points on your board.
How to play:
The aim of the game is to correctly draw your opponent’s circuit. On your go, choose a square and ask for the current, or choose 2 squares and ask for the voltage across them. Your opponent has to be honest and correct! You can ask 1 question per go and take it in turns until someone can correctly draw the circuit.
Teacher instructions:
Pupils should be in pairs or 4s to play this game.
Each group will need 2 game boards, 2 sets of tokens and 2 answer sheets.
I suggest printing and laminating the game board page and cutting out the tokens, and then printing disposable answer sheets for them to draw and scribble on. You could even use Velcro on the back of the tokens so that they stick to the board.
Brain structure using an fMRI
Students read ‘medical notes’ on a patient after having an MRI scan, and use it to identify the parts of the brain.
This is to help students understand how MRIs are used to study the brain.
Christmas Worksheet Science: Physics: Energy and Electricity
Some Christmas questions based on Physics knowledge, with answers.
This includes questions on:
Speed equation
Electrical power
Voltage, current and resistance
GPE
KE
Work done
Thermal energy transfers
Designed for Year 10 or 11.
Merry Christmas!
