A worksheet aimed to teach students how to convert from Kelvin to Celsius and vice versa. Students have to calculate the surface temperature of planets in the Solar System, and then plot a graph of distance from the Sun v temperature. Then use the graph to answer questions.
Attached is everything you will need to teach a lesson (with a class practical or demonstration) on transformers. Using a multimeter that can measure AC voltage (available at places like Maplins), and a set of transformer coils (available from Phillip Harris) students measure the voltage across the primary and secondary coil of a transformer. Included are student instructions, guided questions, and teacher set up instructions.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MULTIMETER THAT CAN MEASURE AC VOLTAGE BEFORE PURCHASING! See cover image for all equipment you will need!
Mainly used as an introduction in IB Theory of Knowledge but could be applied to geography. Students analyse and draw their own maps to understand better their cultural perspective on the world.
Research activity for Year 7 students. Students research about the adaptations of the plants and animals of the Namib Desert.
The activity requires students to research, and then present their findings in a poster. Included is a writing frame to help students structure their research.
Students can use a QR scanner on their phone (QR apps are free to download for Android and iPhone), and it will take them to pages with information.
Included is the original PowerPoint that you can adapt, some images of the animals and plants in the task, as well as a pdf of the powerpoint if you want to share it directly with your students, so they can read it on their computers. The pdf also has clickable links.
