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.

Lamps in Series and Parallel Distance or Home Learning Pack KS3
This action-packed distance or home learning package demonstrates what happens when lamps are added and removed in series and parallel circuits.
This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress.
The simulated practical takes the student through planning, designing a table and drawing conclusions from a given set of typical results.
Objective
To know that as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer.
To know that as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change.
To know that if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness.
To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out.
To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.
Resources
An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by:
explaining how to use distance learning effectively;
explaining how to use this resource;
explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them;
providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work.
Four worksheets, a cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint.
A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning.
A checklist for students to use to assess their progress.
For those students without internet or a computer at home, a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school.
Digital quick test
Ways to Use this Resource
Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet. Students print their own worksheets.
Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet and provide a hardcopy of worksheets for students. Those families who do not wish to collect worksheets or who are in isolation can print the worksheets at home.
Students without photocopying facilities are instructed to write their answers in full sentences and to writs a sentence to describe any circuit diagrams drawn.

Dispersion is the separation of white light into the seven different colors of the spectrum.
During dispersion, red light is refracted the least and violet light the most.
Dispersion is caused by the fact that each colour of light travels at a different speed in glass.
Red, green and blue are primary light colors.
Magenta, cyan and yellow are secondary light colors.
Mixing two primary light colours gives a secondary light color.
Mixing the three primary light colors gives white light.
An object only reflects light the same color as itself and absorbs all the others
Work out the color an object appears in different light color

Light - Dispersion - Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Dominoes Game
A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on, white light, dispersion and colour filters for middle school plus an enjoyable yet challenging dominoes game with questions and statements on white light, dispersion and colour filters instead of numbers.
The teaching pack contains thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built into the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made.
The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.
What’s Covered
The order of the seven colours of the spectrum
Dispersion is the separation of white light into the seven different colors of the spectrum.
During dispersion, red light is refracted the least and violet light the most.
Dispersion is caused by the fact that each colour of light travels at a different speed in glass.
Red, green and blue are primary light colors.
Magenta, cyan and yellow are secondary light colors.
Mixing two primary light colours gives a secondary light color.
Mixing the three primary light colors gives white light.
An object only reflects light the same color as itself and absorbs all the others
Work out the color an object appears in different light color
