Images in mirrors

Images in mirrors

(5)
Written for Cambridge IGCSE Physics, this follows on from a lesson (also uploaded) on the law of reflection. A number of slides gradually build up how an image is formed. Suitable questions from the textbook you use can be substituted at the end. The students practice mirror writing and at the start bof the lesson consider their own reflections (this discussion could take place in groups) Check out more of my resources at www.mrsimonporter.wikispaces.com

Sound multiple-choice questions

Sound multiple-choice questions

(4)
To be used as a useful summary after students have looked at the speed of sound in different substance. The multiple-choice format is useful for those of you preparing for these style exams (Cambridge IGCSE). The 'write your own' multiple choice questions at the end are surprisingly difficult to do, and are an excellent link to sentence structure/grammar etc.

Year 9 Fit and healthy millionaire revision

"Who wants to be a Millionaire" style revision PowerPoint complete with music! Don't forget to give them their 3 lifelines! (50/50, ask the audience and phone a friend). I always do this in the style of the actual show, getting one student at a time to come to the front. We do a little interview too! A good 30/40 minutes of discussion and revision! Suitable for GCSE lower groups too.
