FREE help sheet for teachers or students on energy stores, transfers, carriers, pathways and energy diagrams. This is specifically for the new GCSE 9-1 specification (which can be confusing). ENERGY - THE LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED: On tes there are many many energy lessons and resources teaching to the old spec. which are no longer applicable if taught today – which is a polite way of saying they are wrong. There are even some resources I’ve looked at that claim to be new spec. 9-1 – but they are wrong too, even BBC Bitesize is getting some aspects a bit confused. Please don’t risk teaching your classes incorrectly ! This resource is a FREE help sheet for science teachers which explains it all. This help sheet is clear and simple and free ! For a high quality, ready to use and accurate science lesson on this topic please use the link below. Energy stores and transfers Happy teaching!

Hints and tips on how to fall asleep and get good quality sleep. This is not a lesson as such. However students who are short of sleep find it very very difficult to learn, so hopefully this will help them. I wrote this as one of my colleagues (yes he is a teacher!) is having a problem sleeping, and several of my students complain about not being able to sleep / lack of sleep. So I hope this will help them. It’s aimed as my adult colleague but these word docs can be very easily modified and given to students… Best wishes Barclayfox

FREE lesson, so you can see the quality of my “Barclayfox” lessons. Ready to deliver high quality KS3 lesson from Barclayfox. This lesson introduces waves by teaching KS3 learners about: Waves, wave types, functions, wavelength, amplitude, peak, trough, longitudinal waves, transverse waves, and superposition etc. Like all my barclayfox lessons this is a complete and ready to use high quality lesson. I have used this lesson and improved it many times with my different classes across ten+ years. There is nothing to do but give it a quick look through it. But, if you (like me!) cannot resist making a change its modular nature makes it very quick and easy to modify it to your exact requirements. No marking for you ! :-) All answers for all activities are included in the PPT to allow peer and/or self-assessment to reduce your workload ! I’ve spent a lot of time on this improving it after lessons spread over 10+ years, I hope you find this FREE lesson useful in your teaching. If you find it useful please encourage me with some positive feedback :-D If you like this lesson there are many more like it in both style and quality my shop, here’s the link: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/barclayfox Thank you for your time, have a great day !
