"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"-Albert Einstein. These wise words from the worl'd greatest physicist has long inspired my lesson plans, ensuring that concepts are made as simple as possible without dumbing down. All paid for lessons follow the same design, all lessons are clearly differentiated, with plenty of peer assessment and self assessment to reduce teacher workload and are fun and engaging for student and teacher alike.

New Advances in Science Posters

(6)
I have these colourful posters displayed randomly around my room, i print them double sided and alternate them every fortnight. They are pictures taken from the I love science group on Facebook filled with the newest advances in science to help engage students and to allow students to see how what they are learning in the classroom can change the way our world works. There are a mixture of Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Engineering.

GCSE Physics Equations Christmas Activity Bookmarks

(1)
I have often found that students get worried about when to use each equation. These Christmas bookmarks look at how the same property can be used in three different equations and has differentiated questions on the back to allow students to practice when to use each equation. Perfect for lessons in the run up to Christmas or even a Christmas homework sheet. The bookmarks cover equations for: Force, mass and voltage

Scalars and Vectors (Introduction to Mechanics)

(1)
This is a full lesson for introducing Scalars and Vectors for A-level physics, for a very mixed ability group. The lesson includes activities, worked examples, answers and differentiated learning objectives. The lesson includes two fun activities and a fully differentiated drill sheet, covering E-grade all the way to pre-university level questions for your most able students. The lesson powerpoint includes worked example answers.

Particles and Quantum Glossary

(2)
This covers all the key words and new words AS students will cover in the first module of AS Physics (AQA). I will be using it for the students to fill in at the end of each lesson the words they have learnt so they can then use it for revision during the exam period. However this could be given to pupils to do over a homework (or two!) as revision.
Quark Composition

Quark Composition

(3)
This worksheet allows students to envision the combination of quarks for baryons (protons and neutrons only) and mesons (kaon and pions only). This worksheet should also be useful for students when they move onto conservation laws and also revision. Based on the AQA syllabus, but should be useful for other exam boards too.

Specific Heat Capacity of types of Coca-cola

(0)
Is there really a difference between the many different brands of Coca-Cola? Coke zero and diet coke both have the same number of calories etc, but interestingly have different specific heat capacities. This lesson was for a high ability year 9 class who had already done a little on SHC.
Physics App of the fortnight

Physics App of the fortnight

(1)
A series of posters displaying different FREE apps to encourage students to continue learning outside of the classroom, a mixture of revision and curriculum apps and general apps about advances in science.
CSI Challenge: Blood Drops, ISA preparation.

CSI Challenge: Blood Drops, ISA preparation.

(2)
This was designed as an end of year, fun but also useful lesson. Each student was given a booklet to work through in pairs, all they needed was some fake blood (which I made by mixing red and brown paint with water), a pipette a metre ruler and a few sheets of A3 paper. After the practical there are some ISA style questions, I told my year 9s we were going to be using this as an indicator for where to start with them during next year's ISA lessons.
