a card sort activity on questions science can and cannot answer

a card sort about all the different spin offs from the space programme. makes a good talking point for a lesson about the value of space travel

an outline for a postcard home from another planet, could be used to get pupils thinking about what it would be like on other planets

a sheet from the old edexcel GCSE centre assessed task activity could still be useful as a homework/science lesson on radiation

a step by step instruction for the construction of a practical investigation on insulation a useful practice for coursework

a useful homework worksheet on the use of electricity including a literacy task

a useful poster on what makes a good graph

a lesson on the genius that was tesla, sums up the ac/dc controversy and his arguments with edison

A blank top trumps sheet that I used to get pupils to make top trumps of the planets but can be modified for any purpose.

a very structured debate activity with questions to get pupils to think about whether space travel is worthwhile, i have tried to include a range of opinions

A worksheet comparing different models of electricity and a simple starter powerpoint identifying symbols.

a worksheet made for the old edexcel centre assessed task, uses information on stopping distances from the highway code to get pupils to produce graphs and come up with conclusions

a booklet i made for low ability students to think about the earth and the universe, it gets them planning a space mission, diamond ranking the equipment they would take with them, thinking about the conditions on other planets amongst other things

a shorter version of my rollercoaster project that gets pupils to prepare a projecton one fairground ride or rollercoaster where they think about forces, levers and moments

A worksheet discussing the different stages of a rockets motion from take off to returning to ground, has forces labelled and stages and diagrams for pupils to sequence, once they have completed this you can remove some of the cards and ask the pupils to reproduce the information from memory to check learning.

a simple review of forces - with a name the force activity - labelling force diagrams of wonder woman, my little pony, sonic etc and then doing a different surfaces friction investigation i use lego cars but you could use trolleys- the experiment sheet is differentiated and so is the forces sheet - purple stars are challenge questions but it is designed for lower ability all resources needed are included in the powerpoint or attached separately

level assessed tasks on the forces that act on a parachute, useful for KS3, based on the old levels but could be adapted for APP

a worksheet that could be used to give structure to a shadow puppets investigation, useful with lower ability pupils

A grinch themed science lesson - i would get pupils to solve the challenges with lego and materials. using toys or lego animals for pets. and different sized toner boxes with gifts hidden in them for the pupils to retrieve.

a lesson presentation and worksheets (borrowed idea but very updated) where pupils calculate the cost of running different games consoles (when doing this I told them a unit of electricity cost 5p), then compare the cost of electricity providers and use their knowledge to write an informative article for a games website advising prospective customers
