This is my revision resource for the Activate book 1 Forces topic. I have referenced page numbers as well for students to easily find things. Additionally I have added an extension task of question cards - the students make up their own forces questions and hand them to each other to test themselves.

This is an experiment brought down from GCSE to KS3 so that the students can have an early taste of a required practical. The class will have the majority of the lesson to complete the lengthy experiment after you have shown the modelling slides and demonstrated the experiment yourself. This lesson is followed up with a large mid-topic assessment piece. The lesson can be done in 50 mins, but could over run. Included are the ppt and learning mat. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

This is a summary sheet designed for use with the Activate Science books for KS3. I have put the numbers where relevant to help the searching of the necessary content. I have also included an extension task sheet where students can create and share their own questions on the topic.

This is a quiz I made that is intended to be used for at least 50 minutes. As such, it is good for end of year lessons and or team building lessons. Split into 5 rounds, it is all based on general science knowledge (with the exception of the music round) and the answers are included. Students will find this great fun in teams!

This is a revision worksheet that summarises the above topic from the Activate 2 Science books for KS3 Year 8. I have also included page numbers from those books where applicable to ease the finding of the content for the questions. Also included is an extension task of writing new questions based on the content that the class can peer test with

This resources is designed to cover the idea of bond energies in exothermic and endothermic reactions. Slide 1 is mainly content based - having the students describe and explain what an exothermic and an endothermic reaction are in terms of activation energy and energy released/absorbed. Slide 2 is four progressively harder activities concerning the bond energies of reactions. I used common bond energies in the reference table in the middle. Most certainly a difficult topic suited for GCSE Chemistry, but I made this with my mid-set Year 9 class in mind, which is why I made it as visually easy to read as possible.

This is an assessment feedback generator made to tackle some common problems you may encounter when doing an assessed piece of work. You simply copy in your class list and assign them up to 3 WWWs and EBIs from the list (these can be changed if required). This will then generate a printout on the second sheet that you can give to the class to save you writing it all! I have left this one populated with some responses that I used as an example - it was for a Hooke's Law 6 mark Question (this can be found packaged together with this generator) This can be adapted to any topic or task and will drastically cut down on your writing during assessment and still provide in depth guidance!

This is a worksheet created specifically to help embed mathematical principles in a science context. The worksheet is tasking the students to make various things the subject and will help develop equation transformation skills. This is bundled with an adjoining powerpoint if required.

This is a supplementary powerpoint that you could use to deliver this classic activity. you will need sticky tape and paper for the main activity, but this can give it a nice framing and you can link it to whatever topic you require (Forces, Matter, Enrichment day, etc.) The emphasis is on teamwork.

This is a small homework sheet with answers (don’t print them :D) that you can use to assess the first few lessons of content to my electricity SoW. I have two free resources from the SoW if you would like to see how I structure these lessons. Please visit my shop to find them.

This is very simply just a big picture. What I have done is make these three colours using the three primary light colours red, green and blue. I have made it big enough so that you will need to really zoom in in order to see the individually coloured pixels. I have looked all over this internet for a similar type of "wow factor" demonstration of light illusions and could find none. Hope you like it! :D
