I found this document after a long search on the internet. It dates back to early 2000 and has the complete breakdown of topics, learning objectives, outcomes, possible activities and teaching notes. Published by the QCA.

Worksheet to help those struggling with this topic to gain merit. Helps them to describe how lenses can affect rays of light. A similar one for mirrors can be found here http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Concave-and-amp-Convex-Mirrors-BTEC-low-abiltiy-6-3-6427471/requestAction/add/ - answers to be uploaded shortly.

For those struggling with assignment 6.3 here is a worksheet on mirrors to help them achieve the merit. I have done a similar one for lenses http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Concave-and-amp-Convex-Lenses-BTEC-6-3-low-ability-6427448/

Activity Length: 40 minutes Suitable for GCSE students of all abilities. This is a 3 part resource. The first is a comic book style text that introduces EM waves as being transverse and as waves of different lengths and frequency (there is an explanation as to what these terms mean). The second part is a user friendly worksheet, again in a comic book style, where students can use textbooks, video or internet to discover the uses, dangers, advantages, disadvantages, frequency and wavelengths of the spectrum. My students enjoy using the comic-book style textbooks, in particular my reluctant readers and dyslexic students, however, there should always be an alternative source information around, like a text book, to ensure that they are exposed to text of all types. The third is a powerpoint file of the comic book if you should wish to present it rather than printing it. The activity will challenge the higher abilities as they will be expected to apply their knowledge in a compare and contrast activity, while also being expected to produce work that shows a deeper understanding. Keywords: transverse wave, electromagnetic spectrum, light, communication,

Who is it for? This is an assessment based upon the new national curriculum on energy suitable for KS3 but could also be used at KS4 for a pre-topic assessment. What is included? This resource is a carefully designed, 25 question multiple choice quiz, that assesses depth and breadth of knowledge. There are two ways to use the resource. Firstly, it can be manually marked within a couple of minutes, by students. Secondly, it can be marked using the free Quick Key App for android and IOS. Data is collected within seconds using the teacher's mobile phone or tablet, and results visible immediately as well as consolidated in an Excel Spreadsheet. The data in this form is exceptionally useful, teachers are able to assess progress in a matter of minutes, and address misconceptions immediately. I've been using this app for a very long time and can't recommend it highly enough. Feedback tasks can be generated in either little report forms or as a whole class spread sheet that can be RAG rated by outcome. See the video tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0XcUHc09Qc Info on the app can be found here: https://get.quickkeyapp.com/teachers/ Feedback Tasks related to this assessment will be available by 14 November and can be found at my shop. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis

This resources contains 2 activities, one a set of 26 flash cards ideal for revision and a second file with the same 26 terms and definitions in the form of a card sort. This is an ideal activity for GCSE revision or a starter for the new year 10 physics curriculum.

Additional free resources when purchased as part of a bundle. Objective : to understand and consolidate ideas related to specific heat capacity. Differentiated set of questions that can be shaped into a foldable. This resource is suitable for GCSE or high achieving KS3. I use it either on A3 paper As a groupwork activity for revision or consolidation, or, as an individual homework task.

Outcomes: recall the definition of specific heat capacity calculate the specific heat capacity perform and rearrange equations (using a triangle) Included: editable power point with model answer Differentiated question sheet Answer Sheet Exam Technique sheet (could be used for homework) Suitable for GCSE

GCSE Physics, Big Bang, Red Shift, Expanding Universe, Cosmic Background radiation, microwaves, evidence, theory This activity is designed to get all abilities creating their own learning through comic strips and a newspaper type activity. Activity one students complete tasks in a newspaper style. Activity two, students can create comic strips. Brief information on the Big Bang, Red Shift and Cosmic Background radiation is included in the form of a comic strip (good for reluctant readers). Students then have to produce their own image that depicts the content of each scene, forcing them to engage with the text and personalise their learning. As an further activity or homework, students are given the template for the comic strips and instructed to produce their own more detailed version. Students do not need to be artistically gifted and can use a variety of material to create the images, ie a collage from old magazines, plasticine or even pieces of shaped pasta. The idea is that they think about the information and how they would like depict it, no matter how abstract.

Written for the new 2016 specification on the particle model. The activity consists of two worksheets, one for foundation and one for higher. The student is provided with visual prompts and then asked to write down facts relating to SHC. Activity is best done in pairs and as a way to demonstrate learning. This type of activity fosters deep learning at all levels and should be used alongside reference material like text books or glossaries to gain maximum benefit.

NEW SPECIFICATION FOR EXAMINATION IN 2018 Objective: To understand the function of the different wires in a plug, how a mains cable works, the importance of the earth wire, the difference between a three and two core cable. Included: Text, 2 Tarsia Puzzles of different sizes, answers to the Tarsia Suitable for both high and low achievers. Approximately a 40 minute activity. Lesson Ideas: Give students the text document and allow them time to read and highlight any words they do not understand. Put the students in groups of 2 or 3 and issue each group with 2 post-it notes. Students then cut and assemble the tarsia puzzle, matching the question and answer. If students are really struggling, they are allowed to write a single question on each of the post-it notes and then wait for the teacher to circulate and answer the questions. After the time is up, issue each group with the answers and have them complete their puzzles. This is a good starter activity for the following lesson, to re-inforce the ideas.

PLEASE VISIT MY MY SHOP FOR LOTS OF FREE AND SIMILARLY PRICED RESOURCES https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis A Resource for my mixed ability groups with a focus on challenge and independence. Students select the questions they would like to answer - each has a point value, higher points are more difficult questions. Answers attached

Estimated Activity Time: 1 hour Resource has been designed to appeal to all abilities and allows them all to access a challenge activity. The resource consists of two sheets, an activity sheet on generating electricity and a second based on "loci" learning theory which is excellent for recall. Activities include, linking concepts with a word cloud, drawing energy transfer diagrams, functions of a turbine , structure and function of furnace, geothermal energy. All instructions are on the activity sheets

Based on the AQA key words produced by them, this is designed to get students to interact with the words and definitions. Suitable for C grade and above or in mixed ability groups. Activity should take about 20 minutes.

Suitable to challenge higher ability candidates. Based on the game Jeopardy, students are given a list of answers to which they have to formulate questions relating to ultrasound. This activity stimulates deep learning, synthesis and connecting concepts.

Lesson 1 Lesson and simple practical Heat and Temperature Aim: To see whether boiling water will cool faster if a cold metal cube is placed inside the beaker. Objectives Recognise what we mean by ‘temperature’. Describe how differences in temperature can cause heat energy to transfer. Explain the difference between heat and temperature Lesson 2 Lesson and simple practical conservation of Energy GPE, KE Aim To see if the height at which we drop an object will affect the size of the crater it makes. To describe energy transfer between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Explain how energy is conserved when objects fall.
