What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Alternating Current & Mains Electricity

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Alternating Current and Mains Electricity for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.2.3.1 and 4.2.3.2 / Combined Science 6.2.3.1 and 6.2.3.2. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.

Learning objectives: Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference / current. Describe the features of mains electricity in the UK including the potential difference and frequency. Describe how mains electricity is connected to appliances including the purpose of each part of a three-core cable and a three pin plug. Describe the potential dangers of electricity and the purpose of safety features including fuses and earthing.

Bundle: Radiation - Physics Only

3 Resources
A bundle of complete No-Prep lessons with exam questions, tasks and answers for the Physics only aspects of the radiation topic. This bundle contains lessons covering all of 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 for AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics. I am selling three different bundles for this topic, please pick the right one for your needs: The Atomic Structure Topic (Physics) bundle contains all the lessons needed to teach the Atomic Structure topic for GCSE Physics: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/bundle-atoms-and-isotopes-12653879 The Atomic Structure (Combined Science) bundle contains all the lessons you need to teach this topic for Combined Science but is cheaper because it does not contain the three lessons that are only needed for GCSE Physics: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12655211 This bundle only contains the three lessons that are needed for GCSE Physics only, and is useful if you have previously planned (or purchased) lessons to teach Combined Science but are now teaching GCSE Physics and need the additional lessons. As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.

The preview videos show a representative sample of slides from each resource so that you get a good idea of what they includes before you buy. What’s Included in each lesson: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations / questions. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.

Life Cycle of Stars

Life Cycle of Stars

(1)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on the Life Cycle of Stars for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics exam spec point 4.8.1.2 Note: This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics exam spec point 4.8.1.2. which covers the life cycle of stars after they are main sequence stars. The stages from nebula to main sequence star are covered by the previous exam spec point 4.8.1.1 and therefore appear in my previous lesson “Our Solar System and Birth of Stars”. Although it is slightly odd that the exam board have spread them out this way, it makes some sense – the previous lesson would be too short and this lesson too long if all stages of a star’s life cycle were in one lesson. Therefore I have just recapped the key points on the birth of stars from last lesson at the start of this lesson.
