Full Lesson PowerPoint and resources to teach the GCSE 9-1 specification Physics lesson on Transformers and Energy. It covers how the national grid transmits electricity around the country, why step-up and step-down transformers are used, that transformers can change the voltage of an alternating current, how a transformer works, the factors that affect the size and direction of an induced potential difference and how the magnetic field opposes the original change.

This resource covers maths skills required for Physics GCSE exam questions (combined science physics also). It is a power point with over 70 slides that include; teaching the required skills, practice tasks and selected past exam questions embedded (from EDEXCEL but could be used for any exam board as practice). It is organised in an order that flows from one skill to another with action buttons that take you directly to each skill and home buttons so you can easily return to the home slide. This resource can be used at the start of the GCSE course (by providing pupils with a copy of the equation sheet) or as revision before the exam when pupils should know the required equations. This cannot be done in 1 lesson and could be spread over a number of lessons or dipped into when a skill is required! Much of this is relevant to Biology and Chemistry also. Skills covered are: Standard index units Significant figures Converting units Equations - Substitution Equations - rearranging Standard form Percentage and efficiency Ratios Unfamiliar Equations Graph interpretation Gradients

Revision resource for the Motion and Energy topics for GCSE EDEXCEL Physics - for combined and triple science. This resource includes: A challenge grid that contains colour-coded tasks relating to the C/SP1 and C/SP3 content in the order that it is taught - pupils get higher score for tasks that are chronologically further back. This can be used multiple times throughout the year and pupils can aim to improve their score! A picture/animation prompt activity where pupils explain the significance of each one and why they are important to the topics. Answer slides for both are included - I have tried to keep the answers concise so as not to take up more than one slide for each activity. Pupils may end up with more detail! I have included a slightly easier version of the challenge grid on the last 2 slides of the presentation for lower ability classes as an option. See my shop for the full paper 1 revision resource ‘Physics EDEXCEL Paper 1 revision - retrieval practice activities for triple & combined’ and for full lesson resources for GCSE EDEXCEL Physics triple science and combined science physics lessons.
