This resource includes a 56 slide PowerPoint presentation.
• Includes sound clips to bring the learning to life
• Animations have been thoughtfully used to promote participation from lower achieving students and discussion from higher ability ones.
• 26 learning outcomes listed below
By the end of these lessons, pupils will:
1. recognise that sound is made by objects that vibrate
2. define that the frequency of vibration of the source is measured in Hertz (Hz)
3. discuss how sound is made in different musical instruments
4. know that a vibrating source causes the layers of air around it to move
5. discover that sound travels by compressing and expanding the surroundings
6. express that sound travels as a longitudinal wave
7. discover that sound travels best through solids and worst through gases because of the arrangement of the particles
8. explore the relative speed of sound in different mediums
9. explain that sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no molecules
10. know that sound waves detected by the ear cause the ear drum to vibrate
11. explore the structure of the ear
12. describe how sound is transmitted through the ear to the brain
13. know that different people have different ranges of hearing
14. know that the average human range of hearing is 20 to 20,000 Hz
15. define that loudness is measured in decibels (dB's)
16. discuss that 0 dB is the threshold of hearing and 130 dB's is the threshold of pain whilst 140 dB's causes damage
17. discuss that loud sounds can have permanent and temporary effect on the ear
18. discuss some common causes of ear damage
19. define that noise is unwanted sound
20. discover that a loud sound is produced by a large vibration and vice versa
21. discover that a high pitched sound is produced by a very frequent (quick) vibration and vice versa
22. know that an microphone can change sound to electricity and that this can then be displayed on an oscilloscope
23. know that the wave displayed on an oscilloscope is a transverse wave
24. demonstrate how to identify the amplitude, the wavelength and the frequency of a wave
25. recognise the link between the loudness of the sound and the amplitude of the wave
26. recognise the link between the pitch of the sound and the frequency/wavelength of the wave
This resources includes a highly visual 43-slide presentation and a short quiz on Forces and Motion.
The topics explored in this lesson are:
1) What is a force?
2) What can forces do?
3) How do we measure forces? What unit do we use?
4) What are contact and non-contact forces? Give examples of each.
5) What is friction? What are two types of friction?
6) What can affect the amount of friction?
7) How is friction involved in the stopping distance of a car?
8) What forces affect speed?
9) What is gravity? What is the gravitational field strength on Earth?
10) What is weight? How is it different from mass?
11) How is weight calculated?
I hope you find this resource useful. Thank you.
**UPDATED January 2017** Added a crossword puzzle with answers
This is the 2nd part of a Magnetism unit with year 7 - Year 8 pupils. It includes an engaging illustrated PowerPoint presentation (30 slides) and scaffolded notes which have been customized to go along with the presentation. Three worksheets and a quiz are also included in this pack. Great value!
The learning objectives for Part 2 are listed below.
By the end of this lesson, pupils will:
1) discover that a magnet can be made by stroking a steel bar with the same pole of a permanent magnet from one end to the other end in one direction
2) be able magnetise a needle and use it as a simple compass.
3) discover that when electric current flows through an insulated wire wound around an iron core, the core becomes a magnet
4) be able to build a simple electromagnet
5) explore ways to manipulate a variety of variables to increase the strength of the electromagnet
6) know some uses of electromagnets
7) distinguish between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet
8) learn the components of an electric bell and how an electric bell works
Your feedback is much appreciated. Cheers!
