Lesson explaining what is a Solar Eclipse and the difference between a total, partial and annular solar eclipse.
Students should use their phones to simulate the different types of solar eclipses (see cover image) and then be able to explain the conditions for the three types of solar eclipses to occur.
Also includes research worksheet.
Aimed at IB DP students studying topic 8, but also suitable for A Level physics and higher ability GCSE/IGCSE students:
Presentation and questions covering:
Energy sources, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, efficiency, Sankey diagrams, energy density, specific heat capacity.
Lesson slides for introducing atoms and the periodic table to middle ability KS3 students.
Worksheet for lesson slides is available here:

A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Interpretation'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Interpretation Unit, I have linked it to the Space and Matter topics from KS3 in the UK.
If you teach, or are about to teach IMYC you are no doubt aware that there are very little teaching ideas for the sciences. I've taken what topics the National Curriculum recommend for physics, and adapted them to IMYC units.
A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Justice'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Justice Unit, I have linked it to the Energy topics from KS3 in the UK.
Also included are a couple of links to resources that I have made that relate to the topic, and they are free.

A set of possible physics teaching ideas for the IMYC Unit 'Challenge'. Please note this is not a scheme of work, but a list of possible teaching ideas, and practicals for the Challenge Unit, I have linked it to the mechanics topics from KS3 in the UK.
