Magnets and Magnetic Fields

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Magnets, Magnetism and Magnetic Fields for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.7.1.1 and 4.7.1.2 / Combined Science 6.7.1.1 and 6.7.1.2. This lesson was significantly rewritten and improved Feb 2024.

It is very likely that if you do all the mini practicals this lesson will take more than one hour – a double lesson is ideal. Because this is the first lesson in the sequence and establishes the basics of the topic, it may also be suitable for many KS3 classes with editing.

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.

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 / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
