Science Quiz - Ideal for Science Week, Demo Day, Space Week, form or house competition, end of term

(0)
A quiz that you will be able to complete within a 1h lesson or as a lunch time , with answers and answer sheet. Round 1 - Guess the scientist in the sceince film Round 2 - name the science song Round 3 - who was the scientists and what was the discovery? Round 4 - where were theses scientists born? Round 5 - name the discoveries and order them! Edited - July 2017 and updated None of the rounds require use of youtube or external sites, as I am aware these are often blocked in some schools.

This foldable comes in 4 parts, all designed and created by TRJ. Learners should be encouraged with describe and explain how energy is lost and can be prevented in the space within the foldable - along with this literacy focus there is also a student worksheet attached with calculation questions - this could easily be completed for a HW. The design itself is slightly editable so if you are just after the design of the house, it could be used for many different purposes. thanks for looking, For other foldables and resources see my shop https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/TRJ

Physics gas pressure -10 must do demonstrations- practical T&L ideas and support.

(0)
The resource contains 10 teacher led demonstrations some of which students can also do, all focussing on the gas pressure laws (Gay-Lussacs, Boyles and Charles) and their relationships. The powerpoint also includes data students could plot to further understand the relationships. I have also included the foldable that students can use to further discover the relationships between temperature, volume and pressure. This can be used in conjunction with the powerpoint lesson ideas. I hope you find it useful especially if you a non specialist or you find yourself teaching this new area of the Physics curriculum.
