Current, Voltage and Resistance Explained Distance or Home Learning Pack for KS3
An action-packed and enjoyable distance learning or home learning introduction to current as a flow of electrons. It explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). Food as a source of energy is replaced by a battery, diver by the electron and rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The simulated practical explores conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
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. There is also a short digital test which can be returned to the teacher.
Objective
To know and explain:
that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery.
how metal ions cause resistance.
the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness.
why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.
conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
Resources
An animated PowerPoint 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.
Two worksheets, two cut-out activities and a word search (answers in the PowerPoint).
Foldable and cut-out activity for students to record and organise learning.
Checklist - students assess their progress.
Short digital test which can be returned to the teacher.
For students without home internet /computer a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school.
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. Families not wishing to collect worksheets or in isolation can print worksheets at home.
School provides a hard copy of the condensed PowerPoint and worksheets.

Magnetism - Magnets and Electromagnets Save the School Nurse Escape Room - KS3
Finish and reinforce a module of work on magnets or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Prior Knowledge Required
Magnetic materials can be made into magnets.
Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials.
Unlike poles attract and like pole repel.
There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines.
Draw the field lines around a bar magnet.
The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field.
Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing.
There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest.
The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases.
Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet.
When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction.
The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.
Explain how an electric bell, a circuit breaker and a relay work
Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school exam paper store in which the school nurse has been accidentally locked.
The pack contains:
PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer);
crossword;
word search;
dominoes activity;
worksheet;
code breaker sheet;
answer keys;
lesson plan.
If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes.
Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online or the teacher can pretend to phone the school office for the staff to attempt to release the nurse.

Reaction of Acids With Metals, Bases and Carbonates Find the Pair Game
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on the reactions of acids with metals, bases and carbonates for middle school. 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.

geography
history
nature
science
music
astrology
astronomy
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
current affairs
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.
Memory Test – questions on the order and detail of eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear.
Individual Rounds
Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged.
Memory Test – give coordinates of fish which have moved around a pond.
Finally, the fifteen - 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.
Full instructions are given on the PowerPoint itself.

Magnetism - Magnets and Electromagnets Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Dominoes Game
A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on magnets and electromagnets plus an enjoyable yet challenging dominoes game.
What’s Covered
Magnetic materials can be made into magnets.
Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials.
Unlike poles attract and like pole repel.
There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines.
Draw the field lines around a bar magnet.
The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field.
Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing.
There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest.
The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases.
Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet.
When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction.
The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.
Explain how an electric bell, a circuit breaker and a relay work
