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.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying resistance (part of the electricity topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and has extension questions to stretch and challenge the more able. The answers have been provided.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying gravitational potential energy (part of the energy topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and has extension questions to stretch and challenge the more able. The answers have been provided.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying work done (part of the energy topic). This worksheet has been created with higher abilities in mind, so gets progressively more difficult and wordy down the worksheet.
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
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.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying potential difference (part of the electricity topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and has extension questions to stretch and challenge the more able. The answers have been provided.
This worksheet is aimed at GCSE students studying force and motion (part of the motion topic). This worksheet has been created with all abilities in mind, and gets progressively more difficult down the worksheet. The answers have been provided.

The worksheet contains is made to stretch and challenge students, going into the GCSE specification. Also provided is an answer sheet to the worksheet. This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 2 book, chapters P3.6.
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.
