Science and General Knowledge Quiz 2 KS3 - Back to School/End of Year
An ideal end-of-term activity or first-day team builder. This activity promotes the concepts of working as a team and individually contributing to the success of a team.
It is a 65 question, animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity.Topics include:
geography
history
sport
nature
science
astronomy
astrology
current affairs
film
art
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
Each team will attempt their team round which consists of a science question and four general knowledge questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team gets to try the rest of the round.
After the team round is the individual round. A maximum of thirty questions answered on a first-hand-up basis accruing points for the team. This second round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all thirty questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 30 and 50 minutes.

KS3 Forces Enquiry/Investigation
The A to Z of an enquiry. This is a fully differentiated and resourced enquiry/investigation into how the surface affects the amount of friction. It is suitable for UK levels 3 to 5 and some elements will start more able pupils thinking about some aspects of level 6 work. It consists of a 27 - slide slideshow and systematically takes the pupils through the stages of planning, developing and reflecting. The whole slideshow contains enough material for 3 to 4, one hour lessons depending on ability. The whole slideshow need not be covered and has been designed so that it is easy to select any sections that are required. It has also been designed so that there are challenging questions for more able pupils but clicking to the next slide provides support for those who need it. Many of the slides are animated.
The resource has been designed to be sufficiently versatile so as to be suitable as not only as an introduction to enquiry/investigation at secondary level but also for those pupils starting upon the transition from level 5 to level 6. It is full of tips on how to tackle the various parts of an enquiry which pupils will find beneficial for those enquiries they tackle in the future and for coping with enquiry-type questions in examinations.
The lessons are easy to follow, enjoyable and easy to teach.
Apparatus needed per group is a newtonmeter and a 1Kg mass. I suggest you have an idea of the 5 surfaces to be used in advance and have a selection of different size newtonmeters available. I use the lab floor, the bench, the carpet in the corridor, a wooden dissection board and a Perspex safety screen. Groups of 3 or 4 are ideal.
Content
Definitions of independent, dependent and control variable, fair test and reliability.
The problem posed is “Does surface affect the amount of friction”.
Planning the enquiry with a worksheet to accompany which includes peer assessment and pupil response to assessment.
Identification of variables
Writing a prediction
Writing success criteria
Designing a table
What is an anomalous result and how to recognise it.
Improvements
Selection of the correct type of graph
How to draw the perfect bar graph (animated)
Reliability and bias
Reflecting on success criteria and learning strategies.
I hope your classes enjoy this and do as well as mine.

Periodic Table of Elements Explained Fully Resourced Lesson for KS3
A fully resourced, engaging, comprehensive and enjoyable lesson explaining the periodic table of elements.
What’s Covered
Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of atomic number.
Metals are on the left of the table and non – metals on the right with a zig – zag line dividing the two.
Some of the metals touching the zig – zag are semi – metals or metalloids which means they have some properties of metals and of non – metals.
Vertical columns are called groups and horizontal rows are called periods.
Each period starts with metals on the left and end with non – metals on the right.
The elements within each group have similar physical and chemical properties.
Group 1 are the alkali metals. Group 2 are the alkaline earth metals. Group 7 are the halogens. Group 0 are the rare or noble gases. The central block are the transition metals.
On the left – hand side of the table, reactivity increases as you go down a group and on the right – hand side of the table reactivity increases as you go up a group.
Group 1: can be cut with a knife; must be stored under oil; low density – lithium, sodium and potassium float on water; form compounds which are solid at room temperature; form compounds with similar formulae – LiCl. NaCl. Group 7;are all colored; react with hydrogen to form acids; react with metals to form salts.
Alkali metal + water alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen
lithium + water lithium hydroxide + hydrogen
Group 0 are all inert gases – they do not react with other elements
Transition metals; except for mercury, which is a liquid, are harder than group 1 metals; have high melting points; react slowly with atmospheric oxygen.

Current Electricity - Current Voltage and Resistance Explained KS3
This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
Objective
To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery.
To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance.
To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness.
To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.
To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull.
Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not.
Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck.
Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic.
Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy.
Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid.

Metals and Non-metals, Properties Escape Room KS3
Finish and reinforce a middle school lesson on the properties of metals and non – metals or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson.
Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where a squirrel, who was found injured on the school campus, has been accidentally locked in its pet carrier while awaiting transportation to the vet for urgent medical treatment. The combination lock used is one of two bought by the school – one for the stock room and the other for a new escape room lesson being planned by the science department. Both are set to the same combination. The paper on which the combination was written for the escape room lesson has been lost but the department still has copies of
the lesson.
