This powerpoint includes the iGCSE details linking surface temperature to the colour of star and the ultimate ending paths of stars depending on their mass. A poster / flow chart activity idea is also included.
This is the third (of 6) lessons in this section entitled “Astrophysics” which is available as a bundle in our shop.
iGCSE Physics PowerPoint that covers the topic of Work Done. This 14 page powerpoint explains how frictional forces, including air resistance, needs to be overcome to keep an object moving. This is investigated with two practicals (one looking at surfaces and the second similar / extension practical looking at the effect of changing the weight of the object on friction). Graphing skills with extrapolation are also highlighted.
This is the fourth of 6 topics in this units of work and is aimed at covering approximately 2-3 hours of teaching, including the experiments.
This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining Boyle’s Law. This is the ninth lesson in the Particle Model unit of work (P3).
The lesson covers the effect of changing volume of a gas at constant temperature (Boyle’s Law), defines the formula, explains pascals and also contains a step by step example question.
The lesson plan is step by step including extension ideas and the learning objectives linked directly to the syllabus.
This is lesson 13.2 More about Resistance from the latest syllabus and linked to the latest Oxford book (2015)
Included here is a PowerPoint of this lesson and lesson plan complete with point by point teaching, homework recommendations and curriculum link; everything that you need to teach this lesson.
All of Chapter one is free to sample. I am bundling every chapter of the Year 1 and Year 2 course to make them cheaper.
The entire 80 PowerPoint course and full scheme of work is also available as a much cheaper single download here:

This is a 12 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Efficiency and Mechanical Advantage as applied to lifting machines in engineering.
This is the seventh PowerPoint in this section which covers Mechanical Advantage and Velocity Ratio in ideal systems and then applies this to non-perfect scenarios so that efficiency can be calculated. The lifting machine of a block being pushed up a slope is used throughout this PowerPoint to cover this topic in an easy to understand manner. This is extended to more complex listing machines in the next PowerPoint in the series.
This is a 15 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Lifting Machines which includes The Inclined Plane, Pulleys, Screw Jacks and Scissor Mechanisms.
This is the eighth and final PowerPoint in this section which covers each of these main lifting mechanisms and includes worked example calculations for each example.
This is a 6 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of Capacitors in both series and parallel circuits. This PowerPoint includes circuit diagrams and worked examples of the capacitance, current and voltage calculations needed for basic circuits. This is an extension from the earlier lesson where capacitance and capacitors were introduced in detail.
This is the sixth PowerPoint in this section (Electricity and circuits).
This is an 10 slide PowerPoint that covers BTec National Engineering (A-Level equivalent) on the topic of single phase alternating current theory. This lessons revisits the graphical representation of AC voltage changes as a sine wave, and then covers the calculations for the average and root mean squared voltages. This is consolidated with a worked example that shows how the form factor is a constant.
This is the first PowerPoint in this section (Single Phase Alternating Current).
This PowerPoint lesson on Transformers covers the application of induction to the construction of AC transformers. The mathematics and formulae for both power and voltage across transformers is covered, together with a worked example. There is also a comprehensive set of questions and answers.

GCSE Science / Physics - Nuclear Fission (PowerPoint and Lesson Plan)
This is a detailed lesson and PowerPoint explaining nuclear fission. This is the twelfth lesson in the Atomic Structure unit of work (P4).
The lesson covers the basic idea of splitting the atomic nucleus from neutron capture and expressing this as a diagram and nuclear equation. Chain reactions, nuclear bombs and nuclear power are also used to discuss fission in context. The good and bad aspects of fission are used to stimulate a discussion with a differentiated task list for pupils to then create work of their own on the topic.
There is a detailed lesson plan with notes on teaching this topic as well as ideas to assist the teacher in differentiating the lesson and setting homework; a PowerPoint also supports the lesson.
Updated March 2017 (Corrected mass numbers on fission diagram)
