GCSE Physics - static electricity lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A lesson plan and presentation introducing static electricity and the triboelectric effect. There are links to a couple of you tube videos that emphasise the points being made. This lesson also details a practical that students can do to experience the triboelectric effect for themselves.
Taboo Template

Taboo Template

(0)
A template for creating your own taboo game. All you have to do is fill in the topics on the cards and print them out. Students then describe the item at the top of the cards without using any of the words on the card.
GCSE Physics - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Electric Fields lesson plan and presentation

(1)
A detailed lesson plan and presentation about Electric fields. It takes the student through looking at magnetism as a non-contact force and then applying this knowledge to electrostatics whilst looking at similarities. They then progress to drawing field diagrams and writing explanations of electrostatic repulsion and the triboelectric effect. Thanks for looking. Don't forget to review if you buy!
Tarsia Puzzle template

Tarsia Puzzle template

(1)
This is a handy template for creating Tarsia Puzzles. They are triangular pieces that form a hexagon when connected up correctly. Write words/definitions on each piece so that they pair up, cut up the pieces and then students have to put the puzzle back together based on their knowledge. This does not do it for you automatically. This is a great tool for testing knowledge on a wide range of topics.
GCSE Science - Sketch Graphs

GCSE Science - Sketch Graphs

(0)
A worksheet to give practice of drawing sketch graphs for the new GCSE Sciences, Biology, CHemistry and Physics. This teaches students how to draw a sketch graph then there is practise for them to have a go at. Answers are included! There is also a YouTube video instructing them on how to draw a sketch graph - this could all be set for homework.
GCSE Physics - Scalar and Vector Quantities lesson plan, presentation and worksheet
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Scalar and Vector Quantities lesson plan, presentation and worksheet

(0)
A fully featured lesson plan, presentation and worksheet that introduces students to scalar and vector quantities. They learn about magnitude and direction and classify different quantities as scalar or vector. The PPT then takes them through drawing magnitude arrows and then how to draw vector diagrams from this. The worksheet gives them plenty of practice at drawing simple vector diagrams.

GCSE Physics - Work done calculations Foundation Tier

(0)
This worksheet is aimed at Foundation Tier students. The worksheet is scaffolded so they can get going quickly and make progress. The sheet progresses in challenge as indicated by circle, triangle, square and there is a super challenge question where they have to rearrange the formula first. This worksheet is suitable for GCSE Physics and GCSE Combined Science.

ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Physics - Force on a Spring and Elastic Potential Energy calculations

(0)
A scaffolded worksheet to help students with calculating the Force on a spring given the extension and the spring constant using F=ke. It then goes on to get students to calculate elastic potential energy in the same situations using E=0.5ke^2 This worksheet comes with an Answer sheet as well!

GCSE Physics - Atomic Theory Knowledge organiser

(0)
A knowledge organiser for the basic knowledge of atomic theory. It covers everything from strcuture of the atom through half-life to nuclear equations all on one A4 sheet. This is an excellent revision aid and can be used for look, cover, write, check or testing each other or many different uses.
GCSE Combined Science - Physics - Paper 1 Mind Map
ncrumptonncrumpton

GCSE Combined Science - Physics - Paper 1 Mind Map

(0)
This has the main topic headings for the Combined Science Paper 1 grouped according to topic. Each required practical is highlighted. This can be used as a revision aid for students to work through and identify areas to work on or they can add to and improve the mind map with detail although it may want to be blown up onto A3 for this.
GCSE Sciences - Maths for Science Knowledge Organiser

GCSE Sciences - Maths for Science Knowledge Organiser

(0)
This knowledge organiser is a great revision aid for all those maths skills that students need for the new GCSE Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Combined Science. It covers standard form, conversions, definitions of keywords such as uncertainty and precision, graphs and operator precedence. Use it for students as a mat to aid in calculations or as a summary of knowledge to be learned.

GCSE Combined Science - Trilogy - Practical tracker

(0)
This is a tracker sheet that enables students to record when they have completed each required practical for the Trilogy GCSE. It covers the Biology, Chemistry and Physics practicals for the Combined Science GCSE. There is also a useful link to some required practical videos to enable students to revisit these when they are revising.

GCSE Physics Required Practical 10 - Radiation and absorption

(0)
This has been produced as an extract of the AQA required practical document. It is designed to be printed two pages to a page and flip on short edge to form a booklet that students can then stick in their books. This is for required practical 10 - Radiation and absorption. The content is from AQA and the layout and formatting is my own. AQA may change the contents of their practical this is correct as of 20-10-2016.
