Resources for Teachers

Equation sheets for IGCSE Edexcel Physics: Set of equation sheets per topic and a combined sheet for all of the topics for Edexcel IGCSE Physics. The equations no longer require memorisation and will be provided in the exams up until at least 2027. The sheets identify separate science and the combined science equations. The equations can be downloaded per topic or as an equation sheet that has all the equations for all topics on one page.

Equation sheets for AQA GCSE Physics: Set of equation sheets per topic and a combined sheet for all of the topics for AQA GCSE Physics. similar to IGCSE above the equations will now be provided until 2027 for both Separate physics and trilogy ( combined science.

Equation sheets for CIE IGCSE Physics: a combined equation sheet for all of the topics for CIE IGCSE Physics. Poster explains which equations require memorization, which are provided and identifies whether they are physics only or coordinated science.

Equation sheets provided by the exam boards for main UK specifications: Edexcel, AQA, OCR, etc. synergy, trilogy, gateway, 21st century.

Antonine-Physics: James Irvine, a retired physics teacher with over 30 years teaching experience and a published Author with Hodder has curated a free textbook that is free to download in pdf form on his website. James’ website Antonine Education was for 20 years the go-to for students and physics teachers. Wonderful that he is back on the scene. The notes are clear and provide worked examples and questions with solutions. A great resource for self-study.

TES Resources: Content for all subjects, age ranges and ability.

Teach it Science: KS3 and KS4 content for Science.

Twinkl: paid content for KS2 to KS4 in most subjects

Save my Exams: Contains practice papers and mark schemes.

Fuse School: Quality youtube clips for maths and science

PhET: Free online simulations for science and maths.

Cognito: Quality Youtube clips that cover GCSE/ IGCSE content for Science and Maths. They are up to date and cover the new(ish) energy paradigm changes.

Grade Gorilla: Online graded Physics and Chemistry quizzes perfect for revision. Suitable for KS3, GCSE, IGCSE and IB. Grade Gorilla covers most of the major exam boards: AQA, Edexcel, CIE and OCR. Grade Gorilla also have produced excellent digital textbooks that are available for schools for a reasonable subscription. All the quizzes can be attempted by students without having to subscribe.

Seneca Learning: Online learning platform that covers all levels and subjects. All major exam boards: AQA, Edexcel, CIE and OCR and all secondary levels KS3, GCSE and IGCSE.

Education Using PowerPoint: PowerPoints for Science GCSE, IGCSE and A level. Covers major exam boards: AQA, Edexcel, CIE and OCR and all secondary levels KS3, GCSE and IGCSE.

Physics for You: Resources for GCSE physics. These resources can be used to teach all major exam boards: AQA, Edexcel, CIE and OCR and all secondary levels KS3, GCSE and IGCSE.

Keith Taggart Powerpoints: Keith Taggart is an amazing physics teacher (now retired) he produced these brilliant powerpoints that contain keynotes, worked examples and solutions. They are excellent for students to use for revision or for teachers to teach the topics. Bear in mind that some of the syllabus references at the beginning of each presentation may now be outdated. The resources are suitable for teaching IGCSE, GCSE, A level and International A level across the exam boards AQA, Edexcel, CIE and OCR

David Hoult Powerpoints: David Hoult another experienced physicist (now retired) produced these brilliant ppts originally geared for the IB but suitable to teach A level, International A level and some GCSE or IGCSE topics. David also produced word documents that can be used to supplement the delivery and particularly suitable for students that don’t use English as a first language. David has a music channel on youtube!

Edouard Andre Reny, Ph.D.  makes excellent physics content particularly suitable for A level students. He has published videos on his youtube channel , his own website and he also provides tutoring specialising in the IB. He is extremely well qualified and is a really great communicator. I really like showing his content to my students. They are extremely engaging and have crystal clear physics explanations. Dr Reny’s enthusiasm and passion for physics really shines through.

Robin Catchpole provides this excellent lecture on the life cycle of stars that ponders the question ‘ Are we made of stardust or nuclear waste?’ To download the presentation click here. Or read summary blog by Robin here.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is NASA’s premier space observatory, designed to explore the universe’s earliest galaxies, distant exoplanets, and cosmic origins. With its powerful infrared capabilities, JWST offers unprecedented views of deep space, advancing our understanding of the cosmos like never before.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a groundbreaking astronomical facility designed to survey the entire southern sky in unprecedented detail. Using its powerful wide-field telescope, it will capture massive amounts of data nightly, helping scientists study dark matter, dark energy, and dynamic cosmic events like supernovae and asteroids.
