Individual lessons in this topic are also available, as well as the full Triple Physics unit. The first lesson “Permanent Magnets” is available free of charge so you can try before you buy. Objectives covered: Lesson 1: Permanent Magnets Describe the attraction and repulsion between unlike and like poles for permanent magnets. Describe the difference between permanent and induced magnets. Recall where the magnetic forces are strongest in a magnetic field, and if magnetism is a contact or non-contact force. Lesson 2: Magnetic Fields and Compasses Draw the magnetic field pattern of a bar magnet showing how strength and direction change from one point to another. Explain how the behaviour of a magnetic compass is related to evidence that the core of the Earth must be magnetic. Lesson 3: Electromagnetism Describe how the magnetic effect of a current can be demonstrated. Draw the magnetic field pattern for a straight wire carrying a current and for a solenoid (showing the direction of the field). State the relationship between the current and the magnetic field strength. Recall how to convert a solenoid into an electromagnet. Explain how a solenoid arrangement can increase the magnetic effect of the current and that this produces a uniform magnetic field. PHYSICS ONLY: Interpret diagrams of electromagnetic devices in order to explain how they work. Lesson 4: HIGHER ONLY The Motor Effect Recall the factors that affect the size of a force on the conductor perpendicular to a magnetic field. Name this as the “Motor Effect” Apply Fleming’s left-hand rule to predict the direction of these factors. Calculate the magnitude of these factors. Lesson 5: HIGHER ONLY The Electric Motor Explain how the force on a conductor in a magnetic field causes the rotation of the coil in an electric motor.

Take hours off your weekly workload! Mark a full set in 30 minutes Given the new ofsted focus on managing teacher workload, there is a shift towards effective marking being done efficiently. The emphasis here is on the students doing the work, and the students making guided progress. This resource covers all of KS4 Physics with structured open tasks and target-based marking. The students complete the work and hand it in. Mark the pile of worksheets by highlighting or drawing a ring around the target you wish the student to do as their response. (You can also do this for any parts of the task the student has not completed, since the task is on the sheet). Return the tasks to the students and project the targets onto the whiteboard for students to do their marking response. I have made the ‘Conservation of Energy’ task available for free so you can try before you buy, and check that your school are happy that this fits in with their marking policy. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/conservation-of-energy-marked-work-task-12197783 The following tasks and mark schemes are included: Energy Conservation of Energy Specific Heat Capacity Comparing Energy Resources Electricity Resistance Write-up Comparing Components Series and Parallel Circuits Step-up and Step-down Transformers Generating Static Charge Particle Model Density Write-up Internal Energy During Change of State Crushing Can (non-triple version) Why Does a Pump Get Hot?

Objectives covered: Lesson 9: PHYSICS ONLY Transformers Explain how the effect of an alternating current in one coil in inducing a current in another is used in transformers. Explain how the ratio of the potential differences across the two coils depends on the ratio of the number of turns on each. Calculate the current drawn from the input supply to provide a particular power output. Apply the equation linking the potential differences and number of turns in the two coils of a transformer to the currents and the power transfer involved, and relate these to the advantages of power transmission at high potential differences. Describe Vs and Vp for a step-up and a step-down transformer. Describe the construction of a transformer.

Tailored to the AQA syllabus, but not specific to it, a lesson to cover the processes of nuclear fission and fusion, starting with binding energy calculations, then introducing the binding energy per nucleon graph, applying the binding energy and calculations to the fission and fusion processes and exploring the idea of critical mass. All notes are printable gap-fill with diagrams, relevant questions to consolidate, and worked answers to all questions (calculation and written). The worksheet comes in PDF for convenience and the original publisher file for you to be able to edit should you wish to.
