A powerpoint working through the derivation of pressure and kinetic theory equation of gases. This can be quite complex, so the powerpoint works through step by step to make this easier.

My lesson on mass defect and binding energy. Talks them through the equation and how to use it.

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.

This is a worksheet in a series made to summarise and recap topics from GCSE Physics. 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.

A form to fill in with your tutees, to help them to set targets, based on their school reports. Students have an opportunity to decide which subjects they need to work on, and set targets to help them do this.

This is a 60 minute assessment made up of past paper questions from the OCR Physics A - H158, H558 course.

Students calculate the binding energy per nucleon, then plot this on a graph to give them a binding energy per nucleon vs nucleon number graph. This activity allows students to practice using the binding energy conversion between 1u and MeV, or E=mc^2. It also allows them to find the shape of the graph themselves. It comes with an answer sheet.

Differentiated Quiz cards on the Power, energy time equation. E=Pt. Lots of practise questions. These come in two levels, foundation or higher. Higher includes conversions between units.

Give each student a card. Each card has an answer at a the top, and a question at the bottom. One student reads out their question, and whoever has the answer reads out the answer and the next question. Keep going until you get back to the first student. This is a great plenary, or starter for the next lesson. Alternatively, Give the whole pack to one student, and see if they can match them all up to make a big circle. This one is for the KS3/GCSE Physics Energy and Electricity topic.

A couple of worksheets on balancing forces. students label on the forces, and their names. They decide whether the forces are balanced, and if the object is accelerating.

My lesson on latent heat of fusion. Talks students through this, and includes some questions

12 posters including pictures and quotes from different scientists. I hand these out to students so that they can add information about the scientist around the quote, then laminate and display. Lots of female scientists included, of course!

Classic Guess who game but with subatomic particles. Students can practise using key terms like baryon, meson, hadron, lepton, anti-matter, charge, quark etc
