Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 8.8: The Parallelogram of Forces.
The lesson objectives are:
What the parallelogram of forces is
What the parallelogram of forces is used for
What is needed to draw a scale diagram of the parallelogram of forces
How to use the parallelogram of forces to find the resultant of two forces
As the content is for higher science students, the lesson has been aimed at higher achieving students. The powerpoint goes through both the scale drawing and trigonometry approach of calculating a parallelogram of forces. The answers at the end relate the the summary questions on page 129 of the GCSE physics book.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.4: The Expanding Universe.
The lesson objectives are:
What is meant by the red-shift of a light source
How red-shift depends on speed
How people know that the distant galaxies are moving away from Earth
Why people think the universe is expanding
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 239.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.2: The Life History of a Star.
The lesson objectives are:
Why stars eventually become unstable
The stages in the life of a star
What will eventually happen to the Sun
What a supernova is
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 235.
These worksheets have been designed for lower ability students. They cover how elements are represented and how to work out the different constituents of an atom.
Following closely along with the AQA A-Level physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 3.1: The Photoelectric Effect.
The lesson objectives are:
Explain the photoelectric effect
Define a photon
Discuss how the photon model was established
This resource was designed with lower ability students in mind, though has been differentiated, in the file names:
L - lower - Aiming for level 1-2
M - medium - Aiming for level 2-3
H - higher - Aiming for level 3-4
It covers electronic structures, representing ions and ionic bonding. There is also a glossary and wordsearch at the end.
This worksheet follows closely along with the AQA GCSE Biology book, chapters 11.7: The Artificial Control of Fertility. Students can use the book to help answer the questions. There is a stretch task at the end, a six mark question.
For teaching about the different glands and hormones present in the endocrine system. Posters are A3 in size. Place around room and students can find the information themselves on the worksheet.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE chemistry book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 9.1: Hydrocarbons
The lesson objectives are:
What crude oil is made up of
What alkanes are
How to represent alkanes by their chemical formula or displayed formula
The names and formula of the first four alkanes
This presentation has been designed for low ability students. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE chemistry book, page 149
PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of series and parallel circuits. The lesson objectives covered are:
Describe the difference between series and parallel circuits
Describe how current and potential difference vary in series and parallel circuits
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 2 book, chapters P1.4.
PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of energy and temperature. The lesson objectives covered are:
State the difference between energy and temperature
Describe what happens when you heat up solids, liquids and gases
Explain what is meant by equilibrium
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 2 book, chapters P2.3.
For use in either biology or physics lessons. This practical sheet provides a method of calculating reaction times when catching a falling ruler, using just the distance (no need to use stopwatches). The students will be calculating their reaction times with and without music, and concluding why they differ.
