All questions are pictorial and multiple choice and the rules for each round are clearly explained. This science quiz not only promotes the concept of teamwork but also individually contributing to the success of a team. One purchaser of a similar quiz commented, “It helped to build community in my classes”. Team Rounds Each team will attempt their science 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. There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark. Memory Test – questions on the order and detail of eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear. A break from science - Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying. Individual Rounds Memory Test – give coordinates of Bunsen Burners which move around a grid. Finally, the - 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.

This is an action-packed distance learning or home school explanation of the cause and effects of friction including an investigation into the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface and a step – by step guide to the perfect bar graph. Examples of useful friction in terms of grip and non-useful friction in terms of decreased speed and heat production are considered. 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. What’s Covered Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N). Friction increases with the roughness of the surface. Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other. Collisions slow things down and produce heat.

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. What’s Covered All objects attract each other and that the attraction force depends on the size of the object. The attraction force of planets is called gravity which acts towards the centre. Gravity hold Earth’s atmosphere in place. Mass is the amount of material in a body, is measured in kilograms (Kg) and is independent of position. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on a mass. Units for gravitational field strength are N/Kg. Applying W = m x g to calculate weight of a body on Earth, the Moon and Jupiter.
