A tried and tested lesson on absorption and emission spectra. Contains a recapping starter, an identifying spectra task and consolidation exercises. By using energy numbers for the levels students engage with the concept much better.

A fun and competitive interactive whiteboard game in which two teams take it in turns to match tiles. The game automatically scores and has a built in timer in the event of a draw. Students really enjoy the competitiveness. This game won a Microsoft innovation award and was part of my nomination sample for TES Resource Author of the Year. Very strongly recommended for all ages. This template allows you to make your own interactive whiteboard games. Making your own game should take about five m

Six puzzles which make great lesson starters and are an essential part of a teacher's toolkit. The puzzles are animated to make them very attention grabbing. No printing is needed; all the puzzles should be solvable without the need to write anything down. Very engaging and fun.

This presentation was designed for a very successful interview lesson. The diagrams are animated and there are lots of AfL questions. A series of graded question sheets with answers are embedded allowing differentiation. Also contains an interactive starter quiz game.

A really amazing optical illusion. Could be used as a starter in Physics, Biology or Art. I have used this several times for Science Week assemblies - a hall full of students audibly stunned at how their own eyes work. Strongly recommended.

This lesson uses carefully chosen examples with picture representations as well as chemical formulae. There are two differentiated worksheets (embedded in in the ppt) with answers and a plenary quiz. Thoroughly tried, tested and recommended.

A very carefully differentiated lesson on covalent bonding. Starts with a quiz and worked examples. The main task involves students creating molecules and drawing them showing the outer electrons. There are eleven differentiated molecules and answers are included for peer assessment. My class had sufficient molymod molecule kits to work individually.

Newton’s laws are presented using fun and memorable animated images including Wile-e-Coyote and Super Mario. Included here are notes, a multiple choice quiz, a worksheet to use with the pHet interactive and two other illustrative worksheets.

A bingo game designed to get the whole class using their brains to consolidate this topic. There are 22 graph-based questions, the answer and method is shown after each question. The questions are in difficulty order. Surprisingly competitive.

216 multiple choice questions for A2 AQA Physics A-level (17-18 year olds). These questions have carefully presented student-friendly solutions. The questions mostly originate from the legacy AQA 2010-2016 A-level and are completely compatible with the current specification. Topics included: Circular Motion, Simple Harmonic Motion, Gravitational Fields, Capacitors, Electric Fields, Motor Effect, Magnetic Induction, Transformers, Nuclear, Thermal The circular motion questions are available for fr

A complete lesson of notes and questions on combining resistors in series and parallel. Very carefully laid out slides - recapping from 10th grade, deriving the series and parallel formulae, example calculations and a worksheet with answers provided.

An animated presentation on nuclear fusion and fission. Also contains two worksheets with answers on atomic symbols, isotopes, alpha and beta decay, fission and fusion nuclear equations.

An animated presentation on radioactive half lives. The PowerPoint includes a differentiated starter quiz and graded plenary. Differentiated calculation worksheets with answers are contained as embedded files. Mainly tailored to GCSE higher level but serves as a useful recap at A-level.

Plays by the same rules as popular children’s card game “TopTrumps”. A card game with twenty-three different fundamental particles. I recommend this to introduce the particles topic at A-level, it is very engaging. Make up a whole class set for students to work in pairs they will accidentally learn loads whilst having fun. My students often have the cards in front of them throughout the topic. Added rules for annihilation when a particle and antiparticle meet. Graphics used by permission by www

Contains differentiated question sheets with answers. Covers electron shells, names of ionic compounds, animated diagrams for two ionic compounds and two covalent compounds. Strongly recommended.
