Update: Lowered the price if you have to teach this topic at this time This resource of the different electrical models has moving parts to show the students how the model works if they were to see it in real life. It talks about the sweets/matches model, water models (radiator/waterfall), delivery model (coal to Power station) and the ball bearing (chains/rope/dominoes) model and now the Traffic in a City Model. Each model has an animation and asks the students what each part represents and how they can adapt the model to show series/parallel or higher voltage. I have added a worksheet on each model so that students can evaluate each model on how good it is. A master worksheet for adding your own model and a sheet for students to come up with their own model to help their understanding. If you want an animation that shows what happens in a circuit that I made for free (so you can see how bad (or good) my animation skills in powerpoint are, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/understanding-electricity-voltage-and-current-12450133 For more resources free (and paid), check out my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Please comment if you have found this resource useful.

This KS4 resource contains worksheet questions (and answers) for all the Physics Required Practicals with each individual exam style 9-1 graded questions. It employs a lot of Maths, AQA working scientifically and AQA style exam questions with model answers. It is normally used at the end of the practical as a test/check of the students understanding, but can also be used as a revision/homework activity. It can also be used as a cover lesson (with answers). Students can also peer/self assess with the answer sheets and also indicate which part they found most difficult on the top right of the paper so that the teacher can flick through and see what needs covering again. It contains: Specific Heat Capacity, Thermal insulation, Resistance, I-V characteristics, Density. Light, Force and Extension, Acceleration, Waves in a solid and Waves in a liquid and Radiation and Absorption.

This resources consists of photographs and exam style questions with a completed graphic organiser helpsheet. This is aimed at AQA students to encourage them to practice exam style questions on required practicals anytime during the lesson. The questions are specifically generic so they can be asked about almost any of the practicals and consequently they do not need to go next to any particular one, producing over 400 combinations of questions with images. The questions are colour coded for different levels with Red-Hard, Orange-Medium and Green-Easier (one could say differentiated, but one would be stretching the truth). Also included is the required practical placemat (worth a whole £1!) to help your students answer the questions on the display. Suggestions for Activities: I generally sit my students round the display and then ask them to chose a question and I (or another student) choose a practical or vice versa. Then we discuss the answer as a class or nominate another student or practical or question, (or stick them round my board and let the display soak into their minds through osmosis / diffusion or ask a question as a plenary) The set of images and questions can be printed smaller and students and given to groups of students who turn them face down and turn two over, an image and a question, which they then answer. This game works well and makes the question and required practical more random (like the exam). Font size is set at 80 pt so that it can be seen at about 10 feet away (Approx 72 pt per 10 ft of distance is the rule) I hope you find this resource useful Thank you for reading this far.

This is a fun but educational Firework / Bonfire night resource aimed at KS3 and KS4, which teaches safety, flame tests, flame emission spectroscopy, energy stores, data handling and wavelength drawing. The lesson lasts approx 1 hour, longer if you do all the activities. It’s fun but educational. It contains: Technicians Notes/Ordering/Links to Hazcards Lesson Plan Answers to questions for self/peer marking. Student method and results table sheet Learning Objectives-related to the specification (just in case management suspect you are having fun for no good reason). (KS3/4) Safety Activity-Students are asked to suggest the precautions that need to be taken when carrying out this practical. (KS3) Practical-Simple flame test of 6 metal solutions (KS3/4) with method sheet and questions Energy Stores-Students have a fill in the gaps and a list of the energy stores to help them (KS4) Flame Emission Spectroscopy-This is a lining up activity, where students need to recognise which line is which metal. Asking the students to label each line with a letter to prove it (KS3/4) Waves-This simple activity asks them to judge the wavelength of waves to show the colour (KS3/4) Data-This activity is to test their evaluation skills using data on the metal salts they have just used and their inclusion in a firework.(KS3/4) Please check out my shop with free and paid resources at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you and enjoy.

Update: Just added Electrical Models Lesson with animations This misconceptions teacher toolkit is (hopefully) all you need to start you on challenging and overcoming misconceptions in your science lessons. It includes: A full lesson aimed at KS3 or KS4 which challenges the misconception that solids do not push up and finishes with a 9-1 graded exam question on Newton’s 3rd law. (lasting 1 hour) Questionnaires for your classes to illicit misconceptions on Earth, Astronomy, Living Things, Magnets, Electricity, Matter and Chemical Reactions 9 different worksheets which use Analogies, CASE, Venn diagrams and Models to overcome misconceptions. Misconceptions by Topic and Key Stage that can easily be added to PowerPoint’s and/or SoW. A Word version of the Misconceptions Booklet (so you can take out any bits that you need) This resource is basically my Misconceptions CPD with the CPD part taken out, which can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-misconceptions-cpd-12237121 For a free activity that elicits student misconceptions about forces, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/identifying-physics-forces-misconceptions-12199581 For a free pdf booklet written about misconceptions in general, click here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/misconceptions-in-science-6442140 For more free and paid for resources please check out my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/stephenkemp193 Thank you. Please comment. I hope you find this resource useful.

This resource is a complete CPD for staff in science departments. It has everything you need, so that the staff are able to plan effective misconception lessons. This is where misconceptions are exposed, challenged and hopefully overcome. If contains: 27 page ppt to lead the training Misconceptions sorted into Topics and Key stages (so they can easily be inserted into SoW) Full overcoming Forces Misconceptions Lesson (worth £2) Seven activites for Teachers (interactive or participatory) Numerous examples of how activities can be incorporated into lessons or lessons adapted to obtain and challenge expectations. An editable Word version of one of my most downloaded resources (Misconceptions Booklet) so that parts of it can be taken out and used for training.
