A lesson on force,mass, and types of force, as well as an introduction to free body diagrams. Contains notes, examples, practice questions, and practice exam questions

A lesson for AS physics students on friction, drag force, and terminal velocity with notes, video links, and problems (with answers)

A lesson on Human Evolution for GCSE Biology (off-spec but very engaging). Used to introduce the theory to low to middle achievers. MUST state what the theory of evolution is. (Grades G to E) SHOULD explain some evidence for evolution. (Grades E to D) COULD interpret data to trace an organisms evolution. (Grades D to C) Recommend a subscription to echalk for the peppered moth activity in the ppt. The activity uses the Homo-genus posters (print and laminate in colour A3 for best effect and hang around the room). Ask the students to use the posters to construct a timeline of evolution from oldest to youngest. There is a table on the powerpoint with the approximate years. I've also included some information for the teacher on hominid evolution if they wish to buff up their knowledge for extra nerd value.

A lesson for KS3 students or low level GCSE, introduces the concept of atoms, charge, how charges can be transferred, and some of the risks associated with charged materials. Lesson comes fully planned (just follow the ppt), and includes an activity with a plasma ball (if you've got one; if not, just leave it out!). There's a link to a youtube video called electric graffiti in the ppt as well (it's 14 min long but worth it, the students always like watching it). NB: I deliberately avoided using the Van der Graaf generator, as I wanted to save it for GCSE. Learning Objectives: To recall structure of atom To describe how charges can be transferred To describe and explain the risks and precaution of using charge

A lesson on energy conservation for GCSE Physics. Designed for AQA 2016 but transferable to OCR , EDEXCEL. Students begin by simply naming energy forms They learn the law of energy conservation (with prompt questions) They then complete an energy carousel (or simply fill out the sheet if you like) Then they learn about wasted energy, energy units, and energy transfer diagrams. Students calculate and complete missing values. Then they learn about Sankey diagrams. To finish, they draw and interpret a Sankey diagram using given info. As always, answers are on the slides. Please leave a review.

Covers spec CP1 TO CP2.10 Physics Revision lesson for Motion Includes: Starter Specification statements Range of questions timed on each ppt slide. Answers included. While specific to edexcel, is transferable to OCR and AQA. Just edit the statements.

A powerpoint covering the specification points for Hooke’s law including: material deformation terms Hooke’s Law equation and application Force Constant series and parallel spring constant equation Force Extension graphs Technique for Force extension characteristics in springs Area under graph = Work Done

A lesson on ethics of organ transplantation. Objectives: 1. Understanding why organs are donated for transplant. 2. Considering the limitations of organ donation a) Prior health issues including alcoholism and obesity b) Supply of organs 3. Discussing and deciding whether a patient should receive a transplant. Includes: Lesson Plan Supporting powerpoint Activity where students judge patients for priority transplant based on information in the case. Includes extension task at back of pack.

A lesson powerpoint for students doing Edexcel 9-1, though it is transferable. Covers Alpha and Beta- decay with explanation, examples, and practice equations.

A powerpoint which provides detailed notes on the planets of our solar system. There are reading activities within the powerpoint, but the lesson should be discussive. Primarily aimed at curious, high ability students.

A Powerpoint presentation for AS Physics OCR A students. Includes notes and questions on: Kirschoff’s 1st Law Conservation of Charge Mean Drift Velocity I=nAve and relationships with v number density of charge carriers distinction between conductors, semiconductors and insulators in terms of n

A straightforward powerpoint with a read & match activity (print slides 8 & 9). Discussive starter over leprosy victim. It offers grade descriptions (can be adjusted to match new grading systems). Outlines 4 main types of pathogen Read & Match activity - students match image to description Simple 3 question plenary Warning: some of the images are arresting and students are often horrified. Good.

A powerpoint about measuring distance in space. Covers radar, cepheids. supernovae, red shift. Includes worksheet

Designed for Level 3 BTEC students studying disease and infection, this powerpoint includes the etiology and epidemiology of malaria. It contains a detailed look at the life cycle of Plasmodium, and considers why malaria is so difficult to treat.

A trio of DART activities for GCSE physics, but could be used with higher level earlier years.

A powerpoint which considers structure, rotation, orbital characteristics, Van-Allen belt, and distinctive lunar features, for curious, high ability students. Designed for a discussive lesson. One activity that could be done is to use a labelled photo of the moon to teach the order of the Mares, which my students enjoyed immensely.

A fun and interesting lesson, which looks at mass, weight, and gravity. It comes with a data analysis starter, and includes a few videos for free (including Apollo 11 moon landing, Apollo 16 feather and hamemr, and Brian Cox in a vacuum chamber). These videos are also available on youtube if the files don’t work.
