Bundle: Space Physics Topic

4 Resources
Bundle of 4 complete No-Prep lessons with exam questions, tasks and answers on Space Physics for AQA GCSE Physics (9-1) , covering the complete topic. 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. These high quality lessons include 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 videos show a representative sample of slides from each resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included in each lesson: 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. Stretch and challenge where applicable 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 lessons were written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but are very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

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.

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. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • 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. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!
