https://youtu.be/GkNJvZINSEY The link above will take you to a YouTube presentation on the properties of longitudinal and tranverse waves with an emphasis on sound waves. I get my pupils to watch the link and answer the questions as they watch the video. Apologies, but I have not created an answer sheet as of yet !!!

This is a set of questions that follow on from the Ted Ed Lesson: Radioactivity, Expect the Unexpected. My students have IPads and so I usually get them to watch the Ted Ed Lesson and answer the questions via headphones and their IPad as they go along as they are able to pause it as and when they wish. I use it as an introduction to Radioactivity at the start of the lesson.

This is based upon the format of a 'find someone who' worksheet that I originally got as a resource from TES (I apologise for not crediting the owner of the original idea as I cannot remember where I originally obtained it from). I created large QR codes and placed them around the room. My pupils had to use a QR Code reader to scan them which then gave them an answer which they then had to match to the correct answer on the worksheet. Once I checked that they had the correct answers they received an A4 copy of all of the codes which they then cut and stuck next to the questions. Each complete and correct sheet received a lollipop as a reward which motivated everyone in the class to complete it. On a final note, this is my first ever resource on TES so please let me know if I have made any mistakes!

This is a presentation I put together introducing pressure in liquids and hydraulic systems. It has a few Youtube clips included about the Marianna Trench, the effect of deep sea diving on the human body and the Hoover Dam. It also has the worked example on Hydraulics from the BBC Bite size website. I put it together from several different resources that I have previously found on the TES site and so please let me know if I have made a mistake in doing so.

This is a lesson starter that I created to introduce the topic of terminal velocity. The code breaker was made free online from the Discovery Kids Puzzle Maker website and instructs them to watch the 3 minute You Tube clip on their IPads and then summarise Terminal Velocity in the form of a Tweet (which I got from Pinterest, I believe). The clip is from James May's 'Things you need to know' and explains how cats can survive falling out of buildings from a great height.

This is a worksheet I created for the students to fill in on the applications of static electricity, starting it in the lesson and then finishing it off at home (they have IPads in order to do research on outside of the lesson). We had missed a few lessons due to various activities and so I created it in order that they could complete this part of the topic and catch up with the SOW outside of the classroom.

This is just a quick power point presentation that I made on Work Done. It basically summarizes the relevant chapter from the AQA IGCSE Physics Text Book with the summary questions at the end of the chapter. I thought that it may be useful for anyone looking for a quick lesson.

This is a lesson starter that I created to introduce the topic of Levers. The code breaker was made free online from the Discovery Kids Puzzle Maker website and instructs them to watch the 3 minute You Tube clip on their IPads and then summarise Levers in the form of a Tweet (which I got from Pinterest, I believe). The clip is from the TED Ed channel.

This is a lesson starter that I created to introduce the topic of Thermal Conductivity. The code breaker was made free online from the Discovery Kids Puzzle Maker website and instructs them to watch the You Tube clip on their IPads and then summarise Thermal Conductivity in the form of a Tweet (which I got from Pinterest, I believe). The clip is from the TED Ed channel.

This is a worksheet that uses a simulation on moments from 'The Physics Classroom.' The questions all come from the website and the worksheets that they have available - I just reformatted them to suit my class. I won't know how effective it is until September when I use it for the first time. My intention is to try it on the school laptops and the student IPads and see which one is the easiest to use it with - that will decide whether it is homework or ti be used in the lesson. I just thought someone else might find it useful to build upon!

This is a quick power point presentation I put together for a lesson on Power. It basically summarizes the relevant chapter from the AQA IGCSE Physics Book and then has the summary questions at the back. I thought that it may be useful for anyone looking for a quick lesson.

This is a resource that I use either at the end of the lesson or as a homework in order to summarise Colour. It only takes about 10 minutes to fill in. I usually put it on my projector and get the students to come up to my desk and fill the answers in on the board.

I based this on an animation from the website s-cool, under GCSE Physics Static Electricity. I show them the animation and then project the worksheet onto the board and work through it with them using different colours for the electrons and protons. It helps to emphasize that the protons do not move on the object, only the electrons.

This is a worksheet that I adapted from The Physics Classroom website. The boys use the online circuit builder to build the circuit and take readings on the current and voltage. I couldn't edit the diagram which means the rectangles get mistaken for resistors by my students. I usually create the diagrams on the website with them and put them on the board in order to ensure that everyone has the same diagram to start with. It is also worth demonstrating how to use the virtual ammeter / voltmeter as they can find this confusing to start with. However once they get the hang of it, it creates great visuals for them to use.

I have created this power point presentation to be printed out onto card as a handout. I fit about 12 onto a page of A4. I then annotate them with my students in the lesson and get them to cut them out, hole punch them and put a treasury tag in which creates a nice key ring set of equations for them to look at right before they go into the exam. Please note: I have only created cards for the topics that we teach in Year 10 only, they will need to be added to if you intend to use them for Year 11.

I created this worksheet using diagrams from the Cyberphysics Website. The students are given IPads in Year 8 and so I wanted something simple for them to do in the lesson. They set up the equipment for dispersion and then I ask them to take a photograph of the equipment and annotate it by labelling the equipment and explaining the method. I then get them to take a photo of the spectrum that they have created (with mixed results) and answer the questions below the diagram from the website.
