What’s Covered
Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs.
Respiration is the release of energy from glucose.
Breathing provides the oxygen for aerobic respiration and gets rid of waste carbon dioxide.
Label the trachea, right bronchus, bronchiole, alveolus, intercostal muscle, rib, diaphragm.
Label a diagram of an alveolus and show the direction of diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Experiment using limewater to compare the amount of carbon dioxide in inhaled and exhaled air.
Compare the percentage of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air.
Mechanism of breathing.

Christmas Team Quest - Science Quiz KS3
An ideal science activity for the end of the Christmas term which promotes not only the concept of teamwork but also individually contributing to the success of a team. There are 56 science and Christmas trivia questions in this animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice.
Team Rounds
Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round.
Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying.
There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark.
Individual Rounds
Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged. This is an individual not a team round.
Memory Test – questions on eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear.
Memory Test – give coordinates of frogs which have moved around a pond.
Finally, the ten - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes.

Explaining and demonstrating conductors and insulators in terms of high and low resistance as caused by the number of collisions between electrons and metal ions, the engaging and easy to follow animated PowerPoint then takes the student through designing a results table and test circuit. If apparatus is available the student can then test different materials themselves or alternatively use the results demonstrated in the PowerPoint in order to conclude that metals are conductors and non – metals are insulators.
Objective
To know that conductors conduct electricity and insulators do not.
To know that metals are conductors and non-metals are insulators.
To be able to design a test circuit and results table.
To explain why some materials are conductors or insulators in terms of the number of collisions between electrons and metal ions

Current Electricity - Current Voltage and Resistance Explained KS3
This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
Objective
To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery.
To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance.
To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness.
To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.
To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
