Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.3: Planets, Satellites and Orbits.
The lesson objectives are:
What force keeps planets and satellites moving along their orbits
The direction of the force on an orbiting body in a circular orbit
How the velocity of a body in a circular orbit changes as the body moves around the orbit
Why an orbiting body needs to move at a particular speed for it to stay in a circular orbit
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 237.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.2: The Life History of a Star.
The lesson objectives are:
Why stars eventually become unstable
The stages in the life of a star
What will eventually happen to the Sun
What a supernova is
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 235.
These worksheets have been designed for lower ability students. They cover how elements are represented and how to work out the different constituents of an atom.
Following closely along with the AQA A-Level physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 3.1: The Photoelectric Effect.
The lesson objectives are:
Explain the photoelectric effect
Define a photon
Discuss how the photon model was established
This resource was designed with lower ability students in mind, though has been differentiated, in the file names:
L - lower - Aiming for level 1-2
M - medium - Aiming for level 2-3
H - higher - Aiming for level 3-4
It covers electronic structures, representing ions and ionic bonding. There is also a glossary and wordsearch at the end.
This worksheet follows closely along with the AQA GCSE Biology book, chapters 11.7: The Artificial Control of Fertility. Students can use the book to help answer the questions. There is a stretch task at the end, a six mark question.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE chemistry book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 9.1: Hydrocarbons
The lesson objectives are:
What crude oil is made up of
What alkanes are
How to represent alkanes by their chemical formula or displayed formula
The names and formula of the first four alkanes
This presentation has been designed for low ability students. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE chemistry book, page 149
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 14.4: Lenses.
The lesson objectives are:
What a convex lens is
What a concave lens is
How to calculate magnification
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 209.
PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of series and parallel circuits. The lesson objectives covered are:
Describe the difference between series and parallel circuits
Describe how current and potential difference vary in series and parallel circuits
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 2 book, chapters P1.4.
PowerPoint presentation aimed at KS3 students on the topic of energy and temperature. The lesson objectives covered are:
State the difference between energy and temperature
Describe what happens when you heat up solids, liquids and gases
Explain what is meant by equilibrium
This follows closely along with the AQA Activate 2 book, chapters P2.3.
For use in either biology or physics lessons. This practical sheet provides a method of calculating reaction times when catching a falling ruler, using just the distance (no need to use stopwatches). The students will be calculating their reaction times with and without music, and concluding why they differ.
Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint and worksheet covers chapter 15.1: Magnetic Fields.
The lesson objectives are:
The force rule for two magnetic poles near each other
The pattern of magnetic field lines around a bar magnet
What induced magnetism is
Why steel, not iron, is used to make permanent magnets
The Powerpoint is aimed at all abilities, although the corresponding worksheet is aimed at lower abilities. It is suggested that during this lesson, the students should have access to magnets to play and observe with. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 215.
