Air Resistance and Friction Explained KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the causes and effects of air resistance and friction with animated PowerPoints which:
demonstrate air resistance as resulting from collisions between the front of an object and air particles;
demonstrate how friction is caused by collisions between “bumps” in sliding surfaces and slows them down and produces heat;
demonstrate why streamlined bodies reduce air resistance to travel faster;
provide a visual explanation of the relationship between acceleration due to gravity, sir resistance, steady speed and why parachutes work.
The three practicals investigate:
the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface.
the relationship between surface area of a parachute and air resistance
do streamlined objects travel faster in water?
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.
How lubricants reduce friction
Air resistance results from collisions between the front of an object and air particles.
Steady speed.
Air resistance wastes energy and slows moving objects

Force, Weight & Mass KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to forces and an explanation of the relationship between mass and weight.
What’s Covered
Force is a pull or a push with examples.
Arrows indicate the direction of force.
Contact and non-contact forces explained and examples
Forces can change an objects speed, direction or shape
The Newton and newtonmeter.
Real-life examples of forces.
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.
Practical
The first simple practical gives pupils experience in reading scales as they find the weight of their pencil case and other items provided by the teacher. (selection of different objects and different size newtonmeters needed)
The second practical introduces an element of fun and competition by using a bathroom scales calibrated in Newtons (an ordinary bathroom scales can be used but multiply the reading in kilograms by 10) to find the person with the strongest grip in the class (photograph of how to do this shown on the PowerPoint)

Chemistry - Atoms and Molecules Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on atoms, molecules, elements and compounds. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.

What’s Covered
Atoms and Molecules
All atoms of one element are the same but are different from the atoms of other elements.
Atoms combine to form molecules.
If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed.
If combining atoms are from different element, a molecule of a compound is formed.
An element contains only one type of atom
A compound contains two or more different types of atom.
Elements are listed in the periodic table.
Each element has its own symbol.
Symbols can be the first letter of the name (capital), two letters from the name (capital then lowercase) or taken from the Latin name of the element.
Elements and Compounds – Review of Atoms and Molecules plus the following
The formula of a compound tells you how many atoms of each element are in it.
Working out the number of atoms of each element in a compound from its formula.
Naming compounds with the groups CO3, SO4, NO3.
Compounds containing only two atoms end in ide.
Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3.
This versatile pack can be used to reinforce each section of the current electricity module as it is taught or for revision. Many of the games could be used for cover lessons, even when taken by a non-specialist as they come with a hard-copy or PowerPoint of the answers. It is also the ideal end of term/year pack.
