Energy stores and transfers (new GCSE 9-1). Get a FREE lesson! Details below. This is a high quality, differentiated, easy to use and ready to use lesson. The outcomes are noted below. ENERGY - THE LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED: Tes is littered with energy lessons and resources teaching to the old spec. which are no longer applicable if taught today – which is a polite way of saying they are wrong. There are even some resources I’ve looked at that claim to be new spec. 9-1 – but they are wrong too, even BBC Bitesize is getting some aspects confused. Please don’t risk teaching your classes incorrectly ! This resource teaches the subject properly and clearly with differentiated and unique activity sheets you cannot get anywhere else. One is a differentiated crossword and the other a differentiated energy circus practical - 2 highly engaging activities for your young people. WHY BUY THIS ? A whole weekend of effort last year + a further 3 hours of enhancing this year when I taught it again. Tried and trusted, differentiated and complete. You can rely on this lesson to give an accurate and superior learning experience. AGES For ages 13 to 16 where ever you live (KS4/GCSE + USA grades 8 to 10). GET A FREE LESSON ! Purchase this resource, leave a fair review and choose another Barclayfox resource (to the same value as this one) for free! Just email your tes username and your chosen resource to foxteach@hotmail.com It’s as simple as that !  OUTCOMES Your young people will be able to: ALL: Understand and recall the 8 energy stores and 4 pathways. ALL: Understand that energy is not created or destroyed, only transferred. MOST: Apply stores and pathways to describe energy transfers. SOME: Create energy transfer diagrams. Happy teaching!

Target setting. Scorecard. Get organised. New Years resolutions. This is a 30+ slide powerpoint navigated lesson that leads students to consider what they want to improve and then gives them a simple but magical tool to do it in the form of a scorecard. Particularly useful for tutor time, or for Target Setting or New Years Resolutions or for any reflection or goal setting. It can be focused on school targets and be used to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and achieving progress. It’s useful to you directly too ! Useful for students and also for teacher’s - I’m much more organised and self disciplined now I use my scorecard ! :-) Could even be used as an active assembly - each student would simply need a scorecard and a pen to participate. Both the Powerpoint and the Excel file are fully editable so you can adapt them if you wish. Happy teaching! Barclayfox.
