Work Done and Energy Transfer

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Work Done and Energy Transfer for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson fully covers the GCSE Physics exam spec 4.5.2 / Combined Science 6.5.2 in the Forces topic. Note: This lesson sits within the Forces topic, however some of the content overlaps slightly with parts of the power lesson in the Energy topic, as work done is mentioned in the exam spec at that point as well. 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. 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: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations. • 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!

TES Author Sales Tracker and Analysis Tool

(0)
A ready-to-use tool to track and analyse your author sales on TES. This tool is simple (no need for Excel skills) but also powerful. The analysis that I was able to undertake using this tool allowed me to rapidly increase my TES sales from bronze to gold level. Watch the preview video to see how you can use it to grow your TES author business. Simply copy and paste the sales data from TES - the magic of Excel does the rest. Full instructions provided Summary Sheet: See the value of your sales, and the amount of your author royalty. See your average sales per day, and the date you can expect to get to the next tier. Analysis Sheets: See how often each resource has sold, the average price it sold for, and how much you have made from each resource. Spot what makes your best sellers more successful, which resources sell the most and which are most profitable (not always the same thing!). Spot which resources have stopped selling using the Title Sales by Week sheet. See the number of sales and the amount of royalty you made week by week - this is always nice when your business is growing! Work out the best times to promote and upload your sales with the sheets that analyse sales by day of the week, hour of the day and even by country. As this is just a normal spreadsheet there is no software to download and the spreadsheet should work fine on work issued laptops. Instructions are provided so that you can easily change the chart type (e.g. from a pie chart to a bar graph) on most sheets. There are filters on most sheets so that you can select a specific date range e.g. to ask “what are my biggest sellers this week?” For those more proficient in Excel the spreadsheet is not locked so you can easily build upon what is already provided.

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: • 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!
