I am a super dyslexic teacher, with a dash of ADD, all my resources are built with access in mind, because honestly, if they weren't I wouldn't be able to read them. Note the pastel tones, chunking and clear notation ques. As such my resources are also super easy to scaffold or stretch, and definitely easy to replicate. Please enjoy, and hang in there, at whatever school you're at, I can guarantee that those kids need you in their lives a lot more than you realise.

KS4 P3 Energy Resources

10 Resources
The MOTHER-OF-ALL-DEBATES is included with this bundle, students will take time learning the facts then let the learning fly in the final lesson. Students will never forget how they learned about renewable and fossil fuel energy! Top-tips Manage the quiet ones, encourage and reward their opinions, the louder students and the budding activists will take care of themselves. Let them know there’s a debate to get ready for, set them homework for research on debates, energy resources and practice constantly how you want them to argue.

KS4 P3.2 Wind and Water energy

(0)
These lessons really are my Kung-Fu, lots of subject knowledge here but for most this will be common knowledge and likely something that can be a collaborative learning process. Students will explore all of the issues surrounding wind and water energy sources (something being explored heavily in the UK) this lesson is set up for a fact finding debate session however could very easily be switched to a practical sesssion with the included resources. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

How to teach flowchart

A very simple visual reminder of how an average everyday lesson should go, this chart helps me to remember and prompt me into the correct paradigm during every lesson, it sits stuck to my desk and is there anytime my brain is just a little too tired to teach. An invaluable tool for any teacher, however I suspect for new teachers this may be an excellent planning and teaching prompt, so here it is!

Students will explore the world of drone racing! A new high tech high speed world that even the most athletic students will buy into. Combining mobile tech, drones and computers, all students will relate to this one, they will have to examine a suite of drones, and choose which they would use to race with, would its battery last, which is the most efficient and which is the fastest (most powerful). Expand or extend the drone activity for both HA and LA students to ensure full understanding or differentiate by task for each calculation, either way, no’one will be left idle. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

Getting a jump start on inefficiencies and the second and first laws of thermodynamics, this lesson gets students excited about the good 'ol pendulum, P.S parents will not forgive you if you put pendulum (the band) on in the background! This lesson is easily dialled up or down for all abilities though I would recommend getting your own style on the practical, everyone teaches it differently and its wide open to reinterpretation. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

Get out the oscilloscope and practice your best Pete Tong impression, buzzing flies and revving motorbikes fun. Alternating current for the new AQA curriculum is rolled into the national grid model making it a little bit more of a stretch to get it all in, fortunately there's a lot of prior knowledge to build on and this lesson takes full advantage of that. Use a torch and a desk lamp in front of a visualiser and you can get a pretty decent demo of AC and DC current (the lamp flickers, the torch does not). https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

The culmination of this series, students are given free reign to seperate out iron filings, salt, sand and pebbles, to increase the challenge you can add wood chippings and for super high ability vegetable oil. Nothing teaches better than allowing student sto exercise and apply thier knowledge, you can easily differentiate by dropping clues and hints or even better you can make it accountable by weighing the mixtures before and the total of each pile after. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!
