This activity contains a powerpoint with graded questions & answers and matching pupil activity sheets, designed to be used at the end of a lesson and/or the start of the next lesson to review previous learning. The questions are based on the previous OCR 21st Century Science Specification unit P3, although could be used with other exam boards. Clicking through the show reveals answers one a time. These reduce to A5 easily, the ideal size for most pupils. Please note grades are approximate.

This resource is an was originally designed for instant engagement, to be on display on entry to the room. The students are given a period of time (say 3 minutes) to rank order the sources of information. This works well in groups with mini-whiteboards. The teacher then asks students to indicate whether each source was in the top 3, middle 3 or bottom 3 – e.g. by show of hands. This supports a discussion on reliability and disagreement between groups provides chance for cognitive conflict and students explaining their reasoning. It was originally designed as a starter to LSS activity 3.1

Keywords: p.d., voltage, potential difference, frequency, time period, time base, measurement This resource has a powerpoint show with worked examples of how to calculate p.d., frequency etc. using an oscilloscope. It is supported by graded intended learning outcomes and an independent learning task, which set as home learning has resulted in students being extremely creative. Right click the web links to download the powerpoint shows.

This resource is a short powerpoint show and a pdf of the first slide. The idea is that learners read the URLs for a series of websites and decide whether they are trustworthy. They could put them into one of say three categories (e.g. High, Medium. Low).This is great for stimulating debate amongst learners, especially if the task is completed as a group. It is very effective when learners are asked to explain their reasoning. The powerpoint show can then be used to develop understanding further.

Keywords: Efficiency, calculation, graph, skill, explain, justify, MAT. This activity is designed to stretch the most able learners with some questions and tasks related to calculating efficiency. There are some demanding questions involving handling data and using graphs to make predictions. This was designed as a home learning task to consolidate learning about efficiency. It would also make a suitable starter for AS/A level. An answer sheet is included with suggested marks for each question.

These are a sequence of powerpoint shows designed as an instant engagement task (rolling on screen as learners enter the room for immediate engagement with learning). Learners write down the missing number to say what power of ten would represent the prefix. They are essentially the same task (with rearranged slides) but get progressively more demanding (as the changeover of slide gets faster) as the numbers in brackets increase. Start the students with (1) and then as they get faster, use the more demanding versions.

Keywords: Image, quality, file size, download time, compression A series of activities that use a familiar image to get across the relationship between file size and image quality. It also supports learners to consider the effect of compression on image quality. It was intended to use the powerpoint show as a starter and follow it up with the file size worksheet, then the compression worksheet. Originally designed for unit P2 of 21st Century Science.

Key words: Universe, Galaxy, Solar system, Sun, planet, asteroid, constellation. This is a sort card activity and powerpoint show to support the task. It gets students thinking about objects in space. The powerpoint show comes in two forms, with or without the word constellation. The addition of the constellation card adds a real opportunity for cognitive conflict and helps iron out a preconception of what a constellation is.

This is a small collection of key words related to data handling. They are designed as a display tool. Remember if laminating to use matt laminates for wall displays to avoid reflection problems. Key words: range, mean, true value, average, real difference.

Keywords: digital, analogue, encode, decode. Notes: This activity helps learners compare how a simple string telephone works against a more complex digital system. Get the students to make string telephones using paper/plastic cups and lengths of string before attempting to complete the sheet. This helps explain an abstract idea by building up from a very hands on simple (more concrete) example. It really engages learners of all abilities. There is an activity sheet and a guidance sheet with answers. This was originally designed for OCR 21st Century Science unit P2

A simple but effective activity to establish prior knowledge at the start looking at the topic of the Greenhouse effect. Learners can be encouraged to use scientific vocabulary and ideas. It is a great way of finding out how they think a greenhouse works before looking at the atmospheric effect. Works well when working in small groups (e.g. 3) on a large piece of paper. Really helps them to think when they are asked to justify their reasoning. Right-click then 'save as&' the web link to download the PowerPoint show.
