"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.

Planet's Whose who

(1)
This worksheet describes each of the 8 planets and gets pupils to work out which planet it is describing. this works well both as a revision tool for KS4 and as a reinforcing exercise for KS3 students.

maths practice for core physics (AQA formula sheet included)

(3)
This is a workbook designed for the student to take home to aid with the revision of P1 for AQA, all of the formulas are included, with a page explaining each formula, a worked example and two pages of practice for each equation. The book also includes helpful tips and covers skills such as converting watts to kilowatts.

KS4 Forces Revision Warm Up

(1)
A set of warm up activities for a revision lesson on forces. The activities focus on literacy and numeracy for this module. The worksheet contains a crossword with definitions, a units match up and a fill in the blanks for equations. Could also be set as a homework.
Equation practice for additional physics

Equation practice for additional physics

(1)
this is a full lesson for a low ability year 11 class in preparation for their end of p2 part 1 test. It helps students decide which equation to use when covering various maths skills required for additional physics. although designed for a low ability class it can be easily altered for a higher ability class.

How Sound Travels

(0)
This worksheet covers the 'bell in the vacuum' experiment and looks at why sound travels at different speeds in different mediums. Mainly aimed for a low ability group.
Particles and Quantum Glossary
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

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.

Core Physics Extended Writing (QWC questions AQA P1)

(1)
This covers the QWC questions given by AQA for core physics over the past few years. Each question has a answer preparation section, a keywords section and a space for the students answer and a mark scheme. There is a PowerPoint with videos for most of the questions and hints on the questions to go on the board. Designed to be used by non-specialists in the run up to the physics exam. Please give any feedback on how it could be improved.
