Energy transfer test 1
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Energy transfer test 1

(1)
A sequence of little experiments (although this does not have to be an experimental activity) you can use to asses the pupils ability to spot the different energies involved in some unusual transfers. Suitable for KS3, ISEB common entrance and middle school. Find more energy transfer work at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Hoppersphysics

HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

15 Density and pressure multiple choice questions

(1)
covering use of the density and pressure formulae, one or two tricks like the man at a party when you are given the area of one of his feet and the calculation of an area and a volume. A nice quick start to a lesson, easy to peer mark or do from the board.
Density pupils pack for KS3 and common entrance
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Density pupils pack for KS3 and common entrance

(1)
This is a handout to give to pupils while you work through density for Common entrance or ks3 with the different learning objectives and skills they will use clearly shown. Covering how to find the density of a block, a liquid and an irregular solid as well as what density is and floating as a density rule. There are graduated differentiation tasks included to help those who need more reinforcement as well as those who need stretching. Sorry you will have to provide your own lab equipment! If this pack is useful why not download one of our premium packs on tes resources? https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Hoppersphysics Thoughts, comments and suggestions to hoppersphysics@sky.com
Density Mandala

Density Mandala

(0)
A prearranged density mandala to help pupils summarize the key density experimental methods as well as the rule of floating and the uses of density. Suitable for common entrance.
Moments pack for ks3 or common entrance
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Moments pack for ks3 or common entrance

(0)
This is a pupil pack for moments at a ks3 or common entrance levels. It covers what moments are, how they are useful to us and how we can calculate balance in moment situations. It includes 2 experiments as well the theoretical work. There is also a PDF version Thoughts, suggestions, comments? email hoppersphysics@sky.com

HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Pressure pupils work packfor common entrance and KS3

(0)
This is a pack that covers pressure and includes examples of things made to have a high and a low pressure, experiments into the pressure made by a rectangular block and by a pupil in different positions, sitting, standing and on the floor. Also includes graduated differentiation questions allowing the pupils to find their own level of challenge. We are afraid you have to provide your own lab equipment! (and pupils.....) There is also a user guide for you to get the most out of your pack. This is a publisher file so editable and a PDF version. Thoughts, comments or suggestions to hoppersphysics@sky.com
voltage, resistance and current investigation
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

voltage, resistance and current investigation

(0)
An introduction into current in a circuit and the way changing the resistance and voltage in a circuit changes the current. There is space to define voltage and resistance, an investigation using resistance wire, space to draw a graph and then an investigation into current around a series circuit. This is all in one 4 page handout. The fifth page has graduated differentiation questions to use with the graph from the resistance wire experiment with walk, jog and run questions to get every pupil stretched to their current level of ability. Suitable for KS3 and ISEB common entrance.
Energy types and transfers test
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Energy types and transfers test

(0)
15 questions on energy transfers involving a wide variety of different situations. Suitable for KS3, Common entrance and middle school energy topics. Pupils are required to give one word answers and draw the answers for some questions.
Sound exam practice
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Sound exam practice

(0)
This sound worksheet contains questions that cover the common entrance and KS 3 or middle school syllabus. It includes work on pitch, frequency and amplitude as well as how these can be altered for a harp. There is also a question on sonar containing that trick examiners love about the distance away something is when there is an echo involved as well as a question on the how far away a thunderstorm is.
Energy types and transfers test 2
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Energy types and transfers test 2

(0)
A follow up to energy types and transfer test with questions on generators, fuels, skiing and Bunsen burners. There are also a couple of ‘draw a device that changes x energy into y and z energy’. The last question is about bungee jumping and asks candidates to calculate the size of GPE and use this and the kinetic energy formula to calculate a velocity. Suitable for KS 3, ISEB common entrance and scholarship candidates as well as basic GCSE review.
Basic circuits multiple choice test
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Basic circuits multiple choice test

(0)
This is a set of 20 multiple choice questions covering electricity, circuit symbols, series and parallel circuits, basic reading of an ammeter and prediction of the brightness of bulb in different circuits and 3 truth tables to fill out. It is easy to peer asses and suits the requirements for KS3 and Common entrance as well as a basic start for GCSE. Also suitable for middle school
Circuit design problems test
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Circuit design problems test

(0)
Having tested the pupils knowledge of the different components symbols this test then gets them to use the components to solve various problems such as how to make a light switch on in a dark room as dawn comes up outside. (LDR). This is suitable for Common Entrance and KS3.
Circuits end of topic test
HoppersphysicsHoppersphysics

Circuits end of topic test

(0)
Covering the key points for the Common entrance, KS 3 and middle school circuits work with circuit symbols, truth tables current in series and parallel circuits, line graphing and various components there is something here to stretch everyone while making sure the basics are in place as well. There is a graduated differentiation task as the last question to allow pupils to choose their level of challenge. Will last around 30 minutes.
