Spec alignment

Built on the spec.
Not on guesswork.

Built on the full AQA 7407/7408 specification — all core topics, the required practicals, and the optional modules (Astrophysics, Medical, Engineering, Turning Points, Electronics). The generator knows whether a topic is AS-only, A2-only, or synoptic across both, and respects how AQA examines each one.

Why it matters: Generic AI tools write plausible-looking resources that miss spec points, use the wrong command words, or pitch the wrong tier. AQA A-Level Physics resources from Print My Lesson are built on a structured database of spec points, so every question, slide, and mark scheme is anchored to what students will actually be assessed on.

Example spec coverage
  • 3.1Measurements and their errors
  • 3.2Particles and radiation
  • 3.3Waves — stationary, interference, diffraction
  • 3.4Mechanics and materials
  • 3.5Electricity — I–V, emf, Kirchhoff's laws
  • 3.6Further mechanics and thermal physics (A2)
  • 3.7Fields — gravitational, electric, magnetic (A2)
  • 3.8Nuclear physics (A2)
  • 3.9–3.12Optional topics: Astrophysics, Medical, Engineering, Turning Points, Electronics

Who it's for

For A-Level Physics teachers who've been burned by 'A-Level' AI output.

Generic AI tends to produce A-Level physics that's actually GCSE physics with harder numbers. That's not what A-Level assessment demands. Our output uses calculus where the spec expects it, treats synoptic links as first-class (not afterthoughts), and writes 8-mark essay questions that would actually earn the marks.

✓Year 12 teachers delivering the AS content (7407) with proper rigour
✓Year 13 teachers who need A2-depth on fields, nuclear, and thermal physics
✓Physics teachers new to teaching an optional module (Astrophysics is common)
✓HODs needing a resource library across both years and any option
✓Experienced teachers who want to save time without losing quality

What teachers ask first

The questions
you're already thinking.

Does it actually use calculus where it should?
Yes. Exponential decay uses Q = Q₀e^(-t/RC), not a half-life shortcut. SHM uses sine/cosine solutions. Gravitational potential uses integrals of the inverse square law. Wherever the spec says differentiation or integration, the resource uses it.
Does it handle synoptic questions?
Yes. A2 resources can include synoptic links across topics (capacitors + fields, nuclear + particle physics, etc.), which is how AQA Paper 3 tends to assess.
What about the optional modules?
Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics, Turning Points, and Electronics are all supported. You select the module when generating.
Are the required practicals properly covered?
Yes. All 12 RPs with method, data tables, graph analysis, uncertainty calculations, and the specific PAG skills examiners test.
Will the 6- and 8-mark questions be any good?
Extended-answer questions use the AQA 'levels-based' mark scheme — you get the criteria for L1/L2/L3 answers and a model response at each level.
“
It actually uses calculus for capacitor decay. I can't tell you how rare that is from an AI tool.

Honest about where we fit

When to use us.
When not to.

We're not right for every job. Here's an honest picture of where other tools win and where we do.

Use them
AQA past papers and mark schemes
The gold standard for exam preparation. Use them. The ceiling is that supply is finite, students memorise them, and you can't target a specific sub-topic.
Use us
Print My Lesson
Fresh exam-style questions in AQA's style for any sub-topic you want. Useful for starters, homework, cover lessons, and targeted intervention.
Use them
Isaac Physics
Excellent for stretching able students with harder problem-solving. Less useful as a core classroom resource — you don't get lesson slides or proper mark schemes.
Use us
Print My Lesson
Lesson-ready slide decks and mark-schemed worksheets. Bread and butter for weekly planning rather than stretch.
Use them
Generic AI (ChatGPT, Claude)
Useful for checking your own understanding or brainstorming analogies. Weak at A-Level physics — confuses AS and A2 scope, mishandles calculus, and mark schemes are unreliable.
Use us
Print My Lesson
AS vs A2 aware. Calculus where the spec demands it. Mark schemes written in the style AQA actually uses.
