A great activity to do on a cover lesson, or as an intro to a new physics topic, this prepare diorama just needs to be cut out and stuck together, to create a 3D picture of the famous Stephen Hawking. This includes both a pre-coloured file, as well as a black and white image that the students can colour themselves, giving you plenty of options to keep the students entertained and informed. Please note: This file ONLY contains Stephen Hawking. Copyright © 2020 The Efficient Science Teacher All rights reserved by author. Permission to copy for single classroom use only.

Magnets Bingo - Great for Review and Cover Lessons

(0)
Excellent for review lessons, cover lessons or as formative assessment, to see what they remember from previous years. Contains 30 randomised cards, ready to print out for a fun game of vocabulary bingo. Students can work individually, or in pairs to cross out terms as you pull them out of a jar (teacher sheet provided). When a card has a straight line of called out terms, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, then the participant/s calls out “Bingo”. First participant/s to have an accurate filled out score card with a straight line is the winner. As a follow up, students can take the key vocabulary used in the bingo and write out definitions in their books for later use as a reference guide for upcoming lessons. Comes as a pdf file, ready to print. Liked this one? Check out the others! Copyright © 2022 The Efficient Science Teacher All rights reserved by author.

The Big Fall - History of STEM practicals - Free-fall, Motion and Momentum
TheEfficientScienceTeacherTheEfficientScienceTeacher

The Big Fall - History of STEM practicals - Free-fall, Motion and Momentum

(0)
Practical 16 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical set focuses, first and foremost on replicating Gallileo’s famous free-fall experiment. Students use modern technology to record with slow motion video and calculate an object in free-fall’s velocity, momentum and acceleration. There is also a proof of concept to show that surface area, not mass, is a major factor in determining acceleration. Finally, using YouTube, they look at momentum in moving vehicles, using technology to analyse video frame by frame to get an estimate of a cars velocity, momentum and accelaration. As always, it includes an introduction covering the history of the theory across multiple continents and over a period of over 2000 years. More about the History in STEM practical Series This series is designed to bring quality cross-curricula material to STEM subjects, that help students to explore and discover phenomena normally taught, while getting a glimpse into the history of its development. In addition, a number of the practicals give the students the opportunity to play “Mythbusters”, looking at a number of different methods and having to reason why one or the other was the more likely or useful method. From Ancient Greece to Vikings, China to the Golden age of the Muslim empire and beyond to India, the series takes a look at some of the most important STEM achievements throughout history. There is a plan for 40 of these such practicals in this series, so, if you liked this one, consider looking at some of the others, or check out some of the bundles available.

Camera Obscura - History of STEM practicals - Room With A View Part 1

(0)
Practical 17 in the History in STEM practical series. This is part 1 of a 2 part series of practicals covering the history and development of the camera. This practical starts looking at the camera obscura and gives a variety of uses for the phenomona, including as an eclipse viewer and as a full room camera obscura. As always, there is an intro looking at the history of the camera obscura, including its use across the world and a quick look at its discovery. The practical could be completed in as little as 45 minutes, but is probably best suited for 90 minutes, to give students time to explore.

Forces - History of STEM practicals - Pykrete

(0)
Practical 20 in the History in STEM practical series. This practical experiment looks at a material, Pykrete, developed during WWII that was ultimately deemed a failure, but is perfect for testing forces and strength of different materials. Comparing up to 4 versions of ice with different added components to augment the properties, students will test its strength and ability to hold masses of increasing size, as well as time how the added substances effect melting time. A great way to look at a number of physics themes for any class already looking at WWII in their history lesson. Note: You need a freezer in order to complete this practical, all other materials should be able to be obtained relatively easily.

Make sure the students know how to use scissors before they begin, to prevent injury. The 12 figures in this pack include: Physics: Albert Einstein - Famous for his theories on relatively. Marie Curie - A pioneer in radioactive material research Nikola Tesla - A driving force in the field of electronics. Chemistry: Mendeleev - Responsible for the periodic table we recognise today. Cai Lun - Attributed with creating the first true paper in China. Jabir Ibn-Hayyan - The legendary figure, known as the “Father of Chemistry”, reportedly responsible for producing the “aqua regis”.

This time we are taking a look at the famous experiment regarding the link between an objects volume and water displacement, in order to calculate the density of a dodgy crown by that eccentric scientist Archimedes. Note: The “Crown” in the practical can be anything you want. However, it will link better to the story if it is a crown.

Practical 4 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical we are looking at the Viking Sunstone, the theoretical genius navigation method, making much of the Viking exploration possible. Working with Icelandic Spar (Calcite Crystal) which, through the process of birefrigence, causes light passing through it to be refracted at two separate angles. Using this, with some small effort, research has shown that the stone could be used to locate the sun, even on an overcast day, within a few degrees, allowing for the journey to continue.
