"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.

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

Particles and Radiation lessons 1-4

(0)
Four full hour long lessons acting as an introduction to Particles and Radiation for AQA (could be used for other exam boards) Lesson designed specifically to build a bridge from GCSE to A-Level, by making reference to the GCSE currciulum. Two cheat sheets cover the main part of each lesson complete with questions which could also be used for revision at the end of the year.

Particle Physics and Quantum Phenomena Vocabulary Paperchain (Christmas Activity)

(0)
A fun twist on the traditional loop game! With 56 key words based on Particle Physics and Quantum Phenomena, print these off double sided on coloured paper and have your A-level students read the definition, the students then find the matching word, on the back of the matching word is another definition, the students find the next word and link them together in a traditional paper chain, with the word displaying on the outside. A fun way for students to check their understanding of keywords from A-level physics whilst also making decorations to give your lab a festive feel for Christmas! Length of activity: approximately 30-40 minutes if students are working in pairs and fun christmas music is playing in the background.

Introduction to Waves

(0)
An introductory lesson to waves for A-level students. This a a full lesson with GCSE recap do now, literacy activities, self assess and peer assess activities and a homework that links back to the key points from the lesson. All activities have differentiated activities and so can be used for all abilities. This lesson is aimed at the AQA spec, however it could be used as an introduction for all exam boards.
Particles and Quantum Glossary

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

(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.
The Problem with the Blue Lagoon

The Problem with the Blue Lagoon

(2)
This is a differentiated activity based on the recent newspaper article about a bright blue lagoon in Derbyshire of water with a pH of 11.3. This is first a reading exercise and extracting information, followed by a choice of activities for the students including Creative, Writing or Imagination.
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.
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.
