10 MC unusually phrased questions that require students to compare two types of graph: d-t,v-t and a-t graph. Challenge students to reflect on their understanding of these graphs. As a starter activity allow 10 minutes for individual students to answer the 10 questions. As and AFL activity this delivers peer assessment when you ask students to check and discuss each other's answers. As a 'talk to learn' strategy allow students 5-10 minutes to argue for or against their answer. Detect general misconceptions or identify students with fundamental problems in this unit and plan an intervention lesson, or work with them while other students work on exam practise questions. Buy 'AS motion challenge' resource for additional differentiation. Raise your T+L impact in your class for £2.

For £2 this resource covers all the key terms in the Trilogy and Physics Waves topics of the AQA GCSE Physics course: 4.6.1 ( 3 subsections), 4.6.2 ( 2 subsections) and 4.6.3. ( 3hrs). Each sub-glossary is in a single detachable section. Cut them , photocopy them in A5 and ask students to glue them to their exercise books. Alternatively copy them on A5, in colour and display around the class room and the corridors adjacent to the classroom , and the School's magazine literacy section. Includes key terms (over 50) , definitions and a sentences to exemplify the use of the key term. The examples will help students understand the context in which the key term can be used. The examples are level 5-6 literacy to support boys whom struggle with vocabulary and complex sentence construction. You can use this comprehensive resource to plan Science literacy quizzes and other engaging activities: 'new word' discussion, 'Key term spotter', 'dictionary champion', 'Science literacy' bingo etc. Used as the platform for higher Teaching and Learning resources to optimise the impact of your teaching.

Use this document to kick start research into levers and their context in every day life. Find ideas for practical work and facts about levers that will help students make a hypothesis and investigate properties of class one levers. Focus on progress and feedback and leave the resources to me. Thank you

This work sheet is to revise ray diagram skills or use as a summary for lenses lessons.

Support literacy in Physics/Energy. The resource cover the main key term to ensure that students understand all the key terms and can use them with growing confidence in written and verbal communication tasks. Print the tables and ask students to glue them to their exercise books at the start of a topic. The definition and example columns offers differentiation. Use this resources to support students progress during short literacy based engagement or lesson consolidation activities. Have high expectations, do insulate students from the importance of language in Science. High impact !!

The resource is written with Blooms taxonomy progression terms for differentiation. Students can work and make progress on each section of the work sheet. There is a very simple practical for students to experience the conditions for equilibrium, in contrast, the last set of questions challenges students to consider the conditions of equilibrium as an abstract numerical concept. Let the students work at their pace while you walk, observe, feedback and challenge.High impact.

Model the game, and let the class have fun. Walk around identifying inconsistencies and problems in student understanding or communicating. Engaging activity with an element of competition. Provides a fun way of peer and self assessment. Everyone is involved. High impact.

PDF/ Team work, literacy, Engineering, Science and Technology. Make the rocket, change the design, test, measure, talk, think and have fun. Use as part of the Forces unit at KS4 ( iGCSE, AQA and OCR) to investigate resultant forces, air resistance and momentum. For KS5 use to investigate projectile motion and contextualize the equations of motion. Use the activity to nurture team roles: leadership and dependability. Promote talk to learn, engage boys and introduce girls to STEM careers.

OCR and AQA Further Mechanics A level work, for exams in June 2018. Please refer to the 2015 Specifications. This unit of work covers A2 circular motion, it is suitable for 1.5 to 2 hours teaching, but must be supported by teacher demonstrations and Practical work ( please refer to the exam board's list of practicals). The explanations and solutions of the vertical circle and the engineering context of this topic have not been covered, to leave room for the teacher to drive it in his/her direction of choice. AFL in the form of Multiple choice questions is included. Please up load this resource to your VLE to support your students. Find additional support in IOP and refer to your Exam board specifications for past paper practise.

10 minute activity to support quality of written communication level 4 to 6+. Ask students to describe the pair of contact forces and their effect in every slide. Students work on mini white boards with dry wipe pens, and share their written definitions , teacher picks the top 3 definitions to be read aloud ( promotes self assessment/ high impact feedback). You will also find a dominoes game with a variety of forces statement to use as a plenary or a revision activity and 2 engagement activities to use at the start of the lesson . High impact learning strategy! Promotes talk to learn, peer and self assessment. What price do you put on your time? Save them for other groups or to support revision in 2018.

Use this resource with a circus of energy; various electrical or mechanical appliances. Students identify the energy transformations using key terms. For challenge students can design their own sankey of an appliance of their choice, on graph paper and make questions up for other students.

For revision and extension.

4 levels of ' Forces' engagement or plenary activities focused on the use of key terms and the construction of sentences that accurately describe, explain, compare and suggest. Teacher's notes with answers, assessment and feedback points. Ideal for non-specialist teaching GCSE Physics. Recycle activities a few times with different assessment emphasis.

KS3 level 5 covers practical skills and a GCSE topic; Hooke's law in the context of sport and injuries in tennis. This is part of a set of lessons to engage year 7 to 13 students (KS3, KS4 and KS5) with STEM subjects ( forces, data analysis and materials' technology) in the context of sport, and particularly Tennis as June-July is the season of many great tournaments. Why re-invent the wheel? Invest and enjoy for a many teaching groups and a few years to come.

This (2 lesson) required practical has an assessment grid, spaces for student reflection after each section, and a detailed list of command phrases to help all students attain their predicted level. The first part helps developing students attainment with a tick list for equipment. The method section is written at a SMOG level 5/6( KS4 consolidated literacy students cope well with SMOG level 12 -15text). Data analysis techniques are supported with formulae. Print in A5 or A4 white or pale Yellow ( for vision impaired or dyslexia needs) and glue to a dedicated Required practical exercise book. Make assessment efficient by signing an attainment box and plan lesson time for collective reflection of common errors or misconceptions. The resource fully supports Teacher Assistant interventions.

2017-19 AQA 4.8 GCSE Physics. Use these tables for students to keep a record of their progress in the Electricity units. The students can fill in the right-hand side column with a traffic light colour scheme to show their level of confidence in a sub-unit. For the teacher, this data can help formulate individual feedback or to plan revision interventions. Bloom's taxonomy is systematically used to help students develop the skills for answering exams style questions and competently communicate their subject knowledge.

Use as a revision resource of to consolidate the electromagnetic induction lessons. Can be differentiated with levels of secondary resources.

Based on UK teaching and learning practices to engage all learners ans provide challenge (level 3 to 5 ). 2 hour preparation.

This is a summary to be used as an assessment HW to assess Knowledge and application of formula . Plan a reflection lesson . The work is scaffold to cover level 4 to 7+ .

Differentiates C to A* ( 2016 grades 5 to 8); statements that describe the source of energy using AQA key terms. Use in conjunction with the pictures work sheet to have a visual support to the statements. Can be used for independent work following class demos or short videos, or as a consolidating short exercise in pairs or a group of four( in a snow ball strategy to promote self assessment and student talk).
