Watch kettles boil! Live! This set of resources requires students to investigate a range of different kettles and calculate their efficiency. Which kettle is the most efficient? What is the science behind their design features? There are TWO versions of the DOUBLE SIDED WORKSHEET. The most challenging version gives students some useful information and then the rest is up to them! There is also a HELP sheet with step by step instructions to help weaker students carry out the investigation. Packed with extension tasks and questions designed to make students think, this activity can be ran over several lessons! Just remember to provide a variety of different shapes, sizes and ages of kettles. ideal for KS3 or GCSE or even ALEVEL! (TOP TIP: To save time, students can be required to investigate one kettle each and then pool their results.)

Nasty quantum physics, messing up the whole wave model and confusing everyone. Have no fear though - this worksheet deals with the photoelectric effect, keeps it simple and shows just how elegant and sensible quantum theory can be. Where the wave model fails, the idea of photons comes to the fore. This DOUBLE SIDED worksheet tests student’s understanding of all aspects of this difficult concept from explaining it in extended responses to dealing with Einstein’s formula and using joules and electron volts. Complete with DETAILED ANSWERS for all questions, this worksheet will keep even the most annoying, I mean able, students occupied and enthralled. Science Geeks - helping Physics teachers everywhere. Enjoy.
Advance level Physics teachers rejoice! Here is a double sided worksheet packed with newtonian dynamics problems. It starts off with some simple questions before taxing students’ brains with situations involving inclined planes, mad scientists in lifts (elevators to our north american chums) and runaway hospital beds.
It is all rounded off with a fiendishly hard extension task to keep even your brightest of students off your backs, I mean engaged. Complete with FULLY SOLVED ANSWERS, you don’t even have to bother marking it yourself. It’s tough being a teacher in the modern world. Ease your work load whilst ensuring student progress. Science Geeks, here to help! Enjoy!
