"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.

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.

reflection and refraction lesson aimed at low ability year 10s following the AQA A exam board, including experiment with waves, aimed at a 100 minute lesson. A pick-up-and-go lesson.
Quark Composition
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

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.
Fundamental Forces

Fundamental Forces

(3)
This is a 'who am i' activity. It gets the students to read 10 different descriptions and the students need to say which of the four fundamental forces it is describing.
The Vacuum Flask

The Vacuum Flask

(5)
A worksheet aimed at helping students to map out what they need to put in the common six mark exam question, covering all the key features of the vacuum flask, which type of transfer they prevent/reduce and key words that should be included.

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.
Distance time graphs

Distance time graphs

(1)
A full lesson plan covering distance time graphs for the new AQA specification at GCSE. The lesson covers: Basics of a distance-time graphs Calculating speed of a straight line Calculating speed of an accelerating object. Lesson is aimed at a mixed-ability group. includes a worksheet
Mission to Mars
physicsfairyphysicsfairy

Mission to Mars

(1)
This activity can be adapted easily for a wide variety of different ages and abilities. It gets the pupils to think about and/or research the pros and cons of spending billions of pounds on a mission to mars. Pupils then decide on what their view of the matter is and write a letter to the Prime Minister arguing for or against it. this activity could then lead onto a classroom debate about it.
