A cross between Beetle Drive and Monopoly. Students travel around the board collecting advantages and disadvantages of whaling cards, competing against their group to collect the most. They can steal cards off each other by answering questions. There are also research task cards to be performed as a group. Once the group have an answer they collect part of their whale. Collect the whole whale to win. Plenary: evaluate the reasons for and against whaling and put the cards in order of importance, defend their position and take a vote about whether whaling is right .Fits OCR Gateway B2.

I loved RichardBonser's Star Wars moments and wanted to be able to use the same idea with both KS3 and KS4. A seesaw's exercise to do on the board with disney villains and then a main worksheet with support or extension sheets (aimed at KS4). I have mostly just adapted the original by changing numbers but have changed the extension tasks. Original can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/moments-levers-and-pivots-introduction-with-star-wars-11204405

A team-based research lesson. Students use differentiated resources to research national grid and produce a pitch about why their power station should win the contract to be included in it. Stations I set up are: basic national grid info, national grid buisness info, a transformers experiment with text book explaining it and some hint questions, detailed description of the national grid.

A worksheet to go along side an activity: connect three forcemeters together and change the angle between them to see how the vert and horiz components vary. Plot the graph to see the sin and cos relations trigonometry, resolving vectors

“The air was so thick with tension, you could cut it with a knife and spread it on bread for a sandwich. There was nothing but silence at the top of the dam, silence and a broken rope. I looked down over the edge and saw nothing but a deep drop and a splatter on the tarmac far below. A bungee accident, it’s no way to go. But was it an accident? Hundreds of holiday makers have jumped off this dam and bounced back up. Could this, in fact, be murder?” Help Robert Hooke investigate the suspicious death by reading through evidence from various and plotting mass-extension graphs for the forensic team. Solution- a previous jumper stretched the wire past its elastic limit so it was an accident not murder.

Step by step plan for an experiment to measure the efficiency of an EM motor by lifting masses with method, results, conclusions, evaluations and theory Extension activity: efficiency vs load

In this activity, students use spectra from real galaxies to calculate the doppler shift and plot a graph of recession velocity against distance from Earth to find the Hubble constant. Paper, computer, offline and online versions of the lab with instruction sheets, follow up questions and extension questions for both Alevel and GCSE students. Students will use real absorption and emission spectra from galaxies to: Identify the emission and absorption lines for H, Ca, Ca and read off their observed wavelengths either online using clickable spectra or offline on worksheets Calculate the red shift either by hand or automatically from a spread sheet Find the distance the galaxy is from Earth either using data, a clickable image and a spreadsheet or a clickable image Plot a graph of recession velocity against distance, either on a worksheet or auto plotting from excel Find the Hubble Constant from the gradient of their graph Answer follow up questions about big bang evidence, to find the age of the universe etc This activity uses the data and clickable spectra from: http:// depts. washington. edu/astroed/HubbleLaw/galaxies.html The galaxy spectra were obtained by Robert C. Kennicutt Jr. of the University of Arizona, and are published in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, volume 79, pages 255-284, 1992, and are also available on the WWW. The digital images of the galaxies have been extracted from the CD-ROM version of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey, which was produced under NASA contract by the Space Telescope Science Institute, operated by AURA, Inc. I have cherry picked the data from this lab and chosen the galaxies with the clearest emission and absorption lines that will produce a Hubble constant of approx. 70km/s/Mpc. Washington University Astronomy Department are redoing their website and so links might change.

Students play snap with Atomic cards. They must shout, 'Snap' if two isotopes are turned over. The first person to shout it gets points equivalent to the total number of neutrons (mass no-atomic no). Gets very competitive!

A class activity/independent learning activity for momentum calculations. Pokemon themed. Momentum! You Conserve it All! p=mv, total momentum before = total momentum after, F=mv/t, Ft=I Collisions, explosions, coalescing, force, impulse Contains a teacher power point for teacher led lesson with worked examples, question sheet/notes sheet for students, an interactive power point show for distance learning students, lyrics to momentum song. (Kareoke video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7E3h2ffPSI) All questions have worked, animated examples and worked answers

This is a checklist that details which topics will be covered in the 1P and 2P exams for IGCSE Physics based on the information released by exam boards. A useful revision tool for students.

Good stretching activity for able KS4/A level students. Scaffold for them to carry out internet research about Fusion energy with prompt questions and websites of uptodate scientific research on the topics. They then write an article comparing fission and fusion energy.

Questions on absorption, emission, reflection of Infra Red Radiation (IR) for different colours/surfaces. Definitions Application Questions Experiment Questions (Variables, Conclusions, Graphs, Presenting Data, HSW, Required Practical) Answers for every question Good as a template to make worksheets from (you wouldn’t want to set them all at once!) for KS3 and KS4.

Use Scratch block-based programing to build a model of an oscillating puffer fish and investigate damped simple harmonic motion. Instruction sheet for pupils that guides them through building and adjusting their model. Question sheet for students to investigate how initial displacement, frequency and damping constant affect SHM. Full code and answer sheet for teachers. scratch.mit.edu/projects/414245392 Scratch is a free software online that is very easy to use. Building a model themselves helps the students to really think and understand what is actually going on.

Worksheet getting pupils to practise kWh calculations for energy pricing. They have to estimate off peak and on peak energy usage for a group of students and then find out which tarif will be cheaper. You can make it easier by telling them what is off and on peak.

Choose your own adventure story (n pptxs, pptx and printable docx format) where students travel around a nuclear power plant learning how it works and filling in an accompanying worksheet. (covering basic operation, chain reactions, moderators, control rods, advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power). Can be used as an in-class activity or for homework. Print the story as a booklet or use the interactive power point show on devices. *When you run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere, you and your friends Ada and Isaac discover that your being hunted by brain-eating zombies! You run to the nearest building for shelter only to find yourself inside a nuclear power plant. Can you find your way out? *

ALL Topics in AQA Physics GCSE A page with notes, questions and answers for every topic on the specification. They are grouped by my school’s teaching order so you might need to jumble them around but that should be simple- just move the slides around. The questions are either mine or from various other sources: fellow teachers, other free TES authors (thank you). I give these booklets to my students to prepare for topic tests and end of year exams, in order to learn the basics before they tackle exam questions. A data trawl this year found that those who used them performed better in the exam than other revision techniques. I hope that you find them helpful.
