PowerPoint presentation and worksheet aimed at KS3 students on the topic of The Moon (in space). The lesson objectives covered are:
Describe the phases of the Moon
Explain why you see phases of the Moon
Explain why eclipses happen
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 1 book, chapters 4.4.
PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of The Earth (in space). The lesson objectives covered are:
Explain the motion of the Sun, stars, and Moon across the sky
Explain why seasonal changes happen
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 1 book, chapters 4.3.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheets cover chapter 15.8: Transformers in Action.
The lesson objectives are:
How the ratio of the primary to the secondary potential difference depends on the number of turns in each coil
How the number of turns on the secondary coil relates to the number of turns on the primary coil for a step-down transformer and for a step up transformer
What you can say about a transformer that is 100% efficient
Why less power is wasted using high potential difference to transfer power through the grid system
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end of the PowerPoint refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 229. The Worksheets are also aimed at high abilities, and have answers included.

5 Worksheets, with answers, to help with teaching the equations for electricity to GCSE.
One worksheet covers the circuit symbols and definitions.
Four worksheets cover the equations.
One worksheet covers rearranging and memorising the equations
These worksheets are intended to be used whilst running any of the 10 required practicals in AQA GCSE physics. They all include the equipment and methods for running the practicals.
Some are designed towards improving maths skills; drawing graphs; calculating gradients; and substituting algebra with the line of best fit.
Some are designed to improve students' abilities in writing scientific conclusions.
These worksheets are designed towards higher achieving students, although the methods have been written to be easily followed by all, and a number of them have diagrams of the set ups included. The headers also link to where the learning can be found in the AQA books.
If you find any issues with any of the worksheets, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers the whole of chapter 16: Space.
The lessons are in the following order:
Formation of the Solar System
The Life History of a Star
Planets, Satellites and Orbits
The Expanding Universe
The Beginning and Future of The Universe
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end of each PowerPoint refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book.
