This resource is a set of cards in pdf and Microsoft Publisher format (along with an Excel version) with which to play a Physics version of Articulate. Students need to describe the key word in bold without using anything from that word or the other words printed on the card. These cards cover content from both AS and A2 and there are 70 altogether (roughly half are AS and the other half A2). The Publisher and Excel files are fully customisable - the Excel file was used to mail merge the cards from.

This is an assessment of students' Maths skills for the beginning (or during) the A-level Physics course. It assesses students' ability in rearranging equations, prefixes, standard form, graphs, y=mx+c, trig and natural logs. I've used this assessment both as a class test and as homework and it is very useful in identifying not just the students whose Maths skills are weaker but also the specific areas of Maths they are struggling with. The resource includes a Word file of the test itself (which covers 1 1/2 sides of A4), a word file with the answers and an Excel file that can be used to analyse the data from the assessment. The excel file records students marks question-by-question and conditionally formats (RAGs) their marks.

A 28 page revision guide covering all of the specification points from the Cambridge Technicals Engineering Unit 2 content (Principles of Science in Engineering). The guide is arranged by learning outcome and is supplied both as a PDF file and a fully editable Word (.doc) file. I have been using this with students for the past 2 years and it has proved very popular. The last year’s cohort who used this revision guide all but one achieved Distinction grades in the Science/Physics Unit 2 exam.

A practice paper testing the synoptic knowledge and skills required for the new OCR A-level/A2 in Physics. This paper is worth 70 marks and is written in the same style as the new Unified Concepts paper. It comes with a full set of answers on a power point presentation. The paper itself is offered as a Word document. This resource provides a great way to practice for the final unit of the new OCR Physics A course particularly as there is a real shortage of past paper questions available.

A loop game with 14 questions recapping light, forces and solar system for Key Stage 3 Science. The letters on the bottom of the cards spell out "Sir Isaac Newton" when the cards are in the correct order. This resource is supplied as a Microsoft Publisher and PDF format.

An activity for GCSE students to practice calculations using Energy = Power x time. The activity involves students working out how much energy it takes for a person to travel through different terrain. The task is based on the TV show "The Island" with Bear Grylls. The task raises interesting questions about energy conservation, the energy content of food (students are told which food items they have and how much energy each contains). It is an enjoyable team working exercise. In this resource you get the task explained on a powerpoint presentation, a lesson plan and a handout sheet with the map on.
