Is the content actually accurate?

Every resource is built on real classroom experience, explicitly linked to AQA and Edexcel specifications, and uses the correct command words at the right tier. Difficulty is scaffolded from foundation to stretch.

What subjects and exam boards do you support?

KS3 Maths (Y7–Y9), KS4 Maths (Edexcel iGCSE), KS4 Physics (AQA GCSE), and KS5 Physics (AQA A-Level). Chemistry and Biology are coming soon.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT doesn’t know your spec. Print My Lesson is built by a working teacher and explicitly linked to the syllabus — correct command words, appropriate difficulty, proper formatting. No prompt engineering required.

You get 10 free resources to try — no card required, including PDF export. Upgrade to Pro (£9/month) for unlimited resources and DOCX export.

Can my whole department use it?

Yes. The Department licence covers up to 6 teachers for £349/year — one invoice for your finance team, a shared resource library, and an admin dashboard.

Does it know the difference between AS and A2?

Yes. You select year 12 or 13 (or AS/A2 explicitly) and the content adjusts. A2-only topics — fields, nuclear, further mechanics — are flagged so AS students don't get content they haven't covered.

Which optional modules are supported?

All five: Astrophysics (3.9), Medical Physics (3.10), Engineering Physics (3.11), Turning Points (3.12), and Electronics (3.13). Select the module when generating.

Does it handle required practicals at A-Level?

Yes, all 12. Method, variables, data analysis, uncertainty calculation, and the specific PAG (Practical Assessment Group) skills examiners look for.

Can I get 6-mark and 8-mark questions?

Yes. Extended-answer questions use AQA's levels-based mark scheme with criteria for Level 1 (basic) through Level 3 (detailed synoptic reasoning).

Does it follow the AQA equation sheet conventions?

Yes — the AQA data sheet is assumed as background, so resources don't redundantly redefine equations students will be given in the exam.

Can I use this for teaching first principles / derivations?

Yes. Lesson resources can focus on derivation (e.g., deriving kinetic energy, deriving SHM equations, deriving the capacitor discharge formula) at the depth A2 requires.

Will it work for Year 12 teachers new to A-Level?

Yes. Y12 resources scaffold from GCSE, flag the first-time skills (uncertainty, log graphs, e-based functions), and explain A-Level depth without assuming prior A-Level experience.

AQA A-Level Physics · 7407 AS / 7408 A2

AQA A-Level Physics.
Real A-Level depth.
Confident Y12 and Y13.

Teaching A-Level well means knowing what GCSE simplifies and what A-Level actually demands. 7407 AS and 7408 A2 — calculus where the spec requires it, synoptic links built in, mark schemes built from AQA's examiner reports. For teachers who won't accept GCSE physics in an A-Level wrapper.

The thing most AI gets wrong

A-Level depth.
Not GCSE plus harder numbers.

Example: capacitor discharge

Generic AI:

“A capacitor halves its charge every time constant. Calculate the half-life if RC = 5s.”

Wrong. Halves every t½, not every τ. GCSE-style shortcut.

A-Level depth:

Q = Q₀e^-t/RC

Show t½ = RC ln 2 by setting Q = Q₀/2.

Right. Calculus where the spec demands it.

Spec alignment

Built on the spec.
Not on guesswork.

A-Level is not GCSE with harder numbers. The spec demands calculus, synoptic reasoning, and extended-answer depth that generic AI routinely mishandles. Every resource is built on the full AQA 7407/7408 specification — all core topics, required practicals, and optional modules (Astrophysics, Medical, Engineering, Turning Points, Electronics). The generator knows whether a topic is AS-only, A2-only, or synoptic across both, and treats it accordingly.

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 use calculus where the spec expects it?

Yes — A-Level resources go to the depth the spec demands, including exponential decay, SHM, and field integrals where appropriate. The intent is to treat A-Level as A-Level, not GCSE with bigger numbers.

Does it handle synoptic content?

Yes. A2 resources can be generated to include synoptic links across topics — useful preparation for the way Paper 3 tends to assess.

What about the optional modules?

All five optional modules — Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics, Turning Points, and Electronics — are part of the spec coverage.

Are the required practicals covered?

Yes. Required practical context is part of the topic coverage, including method, data interpretation, and the kinds of analysis A-Level examiners look for.

Will it produce 6- and 8-mark questions?

Yes. Extended-answer questions are part of the resource types available, structured for the levels-based marking style A-Level uses.

Can I set the lesson length?

Yes — choose from 45, 50, 55, 60, 70, or 75 minutes when generating a lesson slide deck. A-Level lessons often run longer — the 70 and 75 minute options are there for that.

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

The gold standard for exam practice — students should absolutely use them. The constraint is finite supply: students memorise them in mocks, and you can't always get one for a specific sub-topic.

Use us

Print My Lesson

Fresh AQA-style questions for any sub-topic. Use for starters, homework, cover lessons, and targeted intervention.

Use them

Stretch problem-solving platforms

Excellent for stretching able students with harder problem-solving. Less suited as a core classroom resource — you don't get lesson slides or full mark schemes.

Use us

Print My Lesson

Lesson-ready slide decks and worksheets with mark schemes. The bread-and-butter for weekly planning, not just stretch.

Use them

Generic AI chatbots

Useful for checking your own understanding or brainstorming. Less reliable for A-Level physics specifically — can confuse AS and A2 scope, can mishandle calculus where the spec requires it.
