This is resource is specifically designed for lower achievers. It focuses on the basic concepts needed for the Generating Electrical Energy topics and uses simplified definitions. It is made up of a 24 question and answer domino activity and the solution. I have also included the questions and answers in a table form if you would like students to peer assess.

This resource is ideal for both the new and legacy AQA course. It consists of 2 identical crosswords, excepting that the one for foundation students has some of the letters already inserted. A very good resource to consolidate learning or for revision.

Students are given a set of 24 clues the answers to which are in words in the wordsearch.

This resource consists of a set of approximately 20 revision flash cards - 1 question and answer per card - and a card sort based upon the cards. Suited to middle to lower achievers.

This activity includes a card sort and writing frame that focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of Nuclear Power and Biofuels. It summarises the knowledge by way of a writing frame and short evaluation.

Objectives: To understand how evaporation is linked to thermal energy transfer To understand how to change the rate of evaporation/condensation I have found this works best in small groups where students can discuss ideas. The activity should take about 40 minutes and then another 20 minutes for peer assessment. Activity overview: Give higher achievers a text book and lower achievers the accompaning text. I usually allow students to answer whichever questions they wish but generally find that they attempt most. Students have found themselves stranded on a deserted island with no food, shelter, water or fuel. They have discovered that the island’s inhabitants are only too happy to supply them with the essentials, providing that they share their knowledge of science with them. Each question asked has point values. At the end of the journey students count up how many points they have accumulated to see how well they were able to survive!

Suitable for SEN students and those struggling scientist. This resource is made up of a puzzle and questions relating to Energy Transfers. There is also a task asking students to design a rollercoaster taking into account the energy transfers needed to make it more thrilling.

This resource is a puzzle that needs to be cut out and rearranged to make sense of the text. It forces students to engage with what they have learned in a kinaesthetic way. Once completed students should be better equipped to do simple efficiency calculations.

The resource is differentiated and includes questions, calculation, and investigation write up questions.

Suitable for foundation students, or those who need extra support with key words and definitions. The resources consists of a 2 page keywords list (shown in image), a crossword with answers, and a support crossword with some of the letters filled in. I've tried to keep the descriptions of the words as simple as possible without loosing their precise meaning and have included images to help students remember.

Objective: To recall and understand key terms Running Time: 30 minutes The activity consists of 2 sheets one for standard/higher demand and the other for lower demand. Students match key words with definitions or for higher tier, students write their own definitions. This can be stretched by asking students to link the concepts.

Objectives: Understand the difference between alternating and direct current. Describe the role of the live wire and neutral wire in the mains electrical supply. How to read oscilloscope traces. How to use an oscilloscope. Suitable for higher or foundation. This is a complete lesson and includes: -Starter (on presentation) Complete presentation that clear explains and links to the objectives Plenary (on presentation) A worksheet that focuses on the objectives A feedback sheet that includes WWW and EBI as well as text to help them answer the feedback questions. I use this in conjunction with a demonstration of the oscilloscope and signal generator, although it is not essential as the presentation is very detailed.

A complete lesson and extra activities. Objectives: Describe how the ear works Recall the parts of the ear and their functions. Evaluate Models Your pack includes a presentation, tarsia puzzle, cut and paste jigsaw, worksheet.

6 Problems with answers. Students need to show the relevant calculations. This is an excellent activity for students who struggle with the kinetic energy equation and gives them the opportunity to figure out for themselves where they went wrong. Remember that you make a difference every day
