Suitable to challenge higher ability candidates. Based on the game Jeopardy, students are given a list of answers to which they have to formulate questions relating to ultrasound. This activity stimulates deep learning, synthesis and connecting concepts.

This resource is made up of a trifold brochure with many energy related questions. Give students the question brochure, tube map and “sites and station” leaflet. As a virtual tourist to London the students aim to visit as many attractions as they can. They choose a station to start at and a site that they wish to visit. For each station along the way they answer the corresponding energy related question.

This resources contains 2 activities, one a set of 26 flash cards ideal for revision and a second file with the same 26 terms and definitions in the form of a card sort. This is an ideal activity for GCSE revision or a starter for the new year 10 physics curriculum.

This encourages deeper thinking and can be used with all ability levels. Students cut out the hexagons and put two or three together that they can match eg: REFRACTED and SPEED can be placed together. Students will then need to write how they are linked together ie: When light enters a medium its speed is changed and it is refracted. Encourage students to make as many links as they can. Higher tier students should then identify the concepts that the clusters make. If you need any help with this contact me at @heelismichelle

Lesson in a box! This lesson and resources is for KS4 but can be used with a higher ability set KS3 group. The lesson focus is on conduction but also teaches students how to take notes with the Cornell Notes system. Everything is ready to go. I have not uploaded the one worksheet due to copywrite but it is the AQA Nelson Thornes P1.3 if anyone needs it.

A short activity designed for BTec but could easily be used for lower/middle ability groups learning to calculate Kinetic Energy and Change in GPE.

This is the National Strategies Framework document for Science published under Labour Govt. Very useful for KS3 planning.

Designed as a tool to help teachers with marking. When coming across a student in need of some help with best fit lines simply stick one of these small 'how to' exemplars. 6 per A4 sheet.

Quick and easy, ready-to-go lesson. Has students focusing on skills and maths behind understanding speed. L3 – I can say what speed is L4 – I can also say what, thinking distance, braking distance and stopping distance L5 – I can measure, distance, time and calculate an average speed. L6 - I can also spot any anomalous results and know how to deal with them.

Suitable for all students in particular, SEN, EAL/ESL, Dyslexic and struggling spellers. Each bookmark consists of at least 30 key words related to the topic, some with additional guidance and tips. There is also an SEN/EAL equivalent with the phonetic equivalent next to it. Simply print these out double sided and cut out. Then have students glue them in on the TOP, LEFT HAND PAGE of their exercise book, this means that the bookmark will be accessible throughout the the life of their exercise book - photographs of how to do this are included.

This lesson is based on the UPD8 activity surrounding the crash of Richard Hammond's dragster. Ready to go just access the crash video from youtube via the link. Students of all abilities find it very engaging.

APOLOGIES FOR MISSING FILE - THIS HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED Objective: To understand what x-rays are used for, the dangers and safety precautions related to medical x-rays and how x-rays work. Clock activity is suitable for all abilities and can be used in a variety of ways: - “hot potato”, seat students in pairs and issue the clock questions, in their pairs students choose a question and are given 2 minutes to find and write and answer. The sheets are all rotated and students choose another question to answer on the next sheet. Sheets are rotated 12 times and students end up with their original sheet in front of them. Go through the answers and students correct where appropriate. - give students information on x-rays (printed webpages, textbooks etc), and working in pairs complete the activity. Webquest activity is suitable for higher achievers. Students are required to complete a set of notes on a graphic organiser and then using only those notes, write a newspaper report. Both of these activities lend well to peer assessment and paired work.

This magazine-type activity has always been a firm favourite with my groups. Put students in groups and have them work through the metacognition, calculations and understanding activities, or this can be set as a long-term homework. The key is to allow them to "get on with it" and source help from peers, text etc. At the end of the activity I usually do a peer assessment and then a directed feedback task.

Objectives: Understand types of energy and energy stores Understand how energy can be transferred between stores. Understand energy transfer diagrams This is a fully differentiated activity where students can choose their own level of challenge, allowing for low-threat, high-challenge. This activity has been run successfully as both an independent homework activity, or paired class work activity.

The resource focuses on understanding how to calculate energy transferred/work done. (I have included an example completed by one of my students for ease of reference). Included are 2 versions, one where students are given the answers and have to show their calculations, the other where they have to work out the answers for themselves. Personally I find that giving them the answers helps them to unpick their own mistakes rather than being told where they went wrong. The resource is designed to develop these problem solving skills through math. Differentiated questions - Q1 - 4 and Q9-12 are suitable for middle/low attainers. The activity is best done after a teacher explanation, or with suitable textbooks. Running time is approximately 40mins to an hour.

Suitable for middle to higher achievers. Over 50 Questions with answers. This resource is made up of a trifold brochure with many energy related questions. Give students the question brochure, tube map and "sites and station" leaflet. As a virtual tourist to London the students aim to visit as many attractions as they can. They choose a station to start at and a site that they wish to visit. For each station along the way they answer the corresponding energy related question. Full instructions given.

Written for the new 2016 specification on the particle model. The activity consists of two worksheets, one for foundation and one for higher. The student is provided with visual prompts and then asked to write down facts relating to SHC. Activity is best done in pairs and as a way to demonstrate learning. This type of activity fosters deep learning at all levels and should be used alongside reference material like text books or glossaries to gain maximum benefit.

This resource can be used as an aid for SEN students. The puzzle reinforces the learning.

Students build the model in groups of two or three. It helps to show how the moon orbits the EArth and the Sun and that the Earth orbits the Sun. It can also be used to show eclipses and the different phases of the moon. There are host of differentiated set of resources for you choose from. Including peer assessment activity, cloze task, key term match, help sheet and a spot the spelling mistake activity.
