Energy : Energy Bundle

This is a bundle of 8 of our fully resourced ‘Grab and Go’ lessons plus an AFL activity.

The Bundled resources are:

Energy Efficiency Lesson:

This is a fully differentiated lesson teaching pupils about energy efficiency

It is suggested that you include a practical such as the custard powder with Bunsen burner experiment. A you tube link for this is included within the PPT should you wish to show the pupils without conducting the experiment yourself.

This Science resource pack contains: A PPT (27 slides) and handouts (8 sheets) .

Activities include:

Starter Task: Two Thinking Skills questions- One on efficiency and one on energy transfer.

An energy transfer and efficiency activity-We suggest that the ‘Differentiated Word Bank’ be printed on the back of the energy transfer and efficiency activity sheet for ease of use should the pupils require it.
A YouTube clip on the custard powder experiment.
An activity on devices and percentage of waste.
Activity-Create a bar Graph based on the data for the devices and percentage of waste.
Extension Task: Create a pie chart on the data.
Plenary (Exit task) : Good Graph, Bad Graph-Pupils are shown examples of bar graphs and are asked if they are correct or incorrect.

Energy Transfer: This is a lesson teaching pupils the different types of energy transfer and the conservation of energy.

It is suggested that you include a practical such as the screaming jelly baby or the custard powder with Bunsen burner experiment. A you tube link for both of these is included within the PPT should you wish to show the pupils without conducting the experiment yourself.

This Science resource pack contains: A PPT (14 slides) and handouts (2 sheets) .

Included in this Science resource is one of our timers complete with MUSIC.

Activities include:

Starter Task: Thinking Skills question on energy transfer
Activity on on energy transfer in the body.
Thinking Skills activity on energy transfer with everyday devices.
Choice of two YouTube clips on the two practicals mentioned above.
You may conduct one of these experiments yourself if you so wish.
Plenary (Exit task) : Starter & Plenary Prompt Selector . This alone is worth £3!

Sankey Diagrams Lesson:

This is a fully differentiated lesson teaching pupils of how to represent energy efficiency as a Sankey diagram.

This Sankey Diagram pack contains: A PPT (33 slides) and handouts (5 sheets) .

Activities include:

Starter Task:A Thinking Skills questions- on energy efficiency.

A demonstration on how to draw Sankey Diagrams.
Pupils will then look at three devices and their energy efficiency.
Activity: Pupils have to calculate the energy efficiency of these three items and create Sankey diagrams based on the data. There are differentiated sheets within the workbook to aid pupils who are having difficulties in drawing them.
A peer assessment on the individual activities is included too.
Exit task/Plenary: Pupils have to name the energy in the pictures, identify the useful energies and state whether they are efficient or not.

In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .

If you like this resource, please give us a review and we will send you a free resource of your choice up to the value of £4.

Renewable Energy AFL: Pull the udder one!

A completely customisable true or False activity. This particular one is based on renewable energy.

Pupils love the interaction shouting moo (true) or quacking for false statements. This can be used as a starter, plenary or an AFL checkpoint activity throughout the lesson.

Types of Energy: This is an interactive lesson that consists of 26 slides (PowerPoint) on the topic of Energy and an 8 page Energy resource booklet covering the different types of Energy;
Kinetic Energy
Sound Energy
Chemical Energy
Thermal Energy
Electrical Energy
Solar Energy
Light Energy
Gravitational potential Energy
Elastic potential Energy

You can find a preview of the booklet that is included in this lesson @ http://fliphtml5.com/gonfq/sdyc

The starter activity is based on our conveyer pelt activity and is designed to ascertain prior knowledge. There is a worksheet to fill in based on this and the subsequent class discussion. Pupils then peer assess each other’s work.

There is an interactive selector based on the popular fidget spinners. Pupils are taken through the 8 different types of energy and they have to make notes on the ‘What is energy?’ worksheet. It is suggested that this be enlarged to A3 size.

Pupils are tasked with inserting the new vocabulary learnt during the lesson into their vocabulary booklets.

Following which there is an interactive quiz where pupils are asked 20 questions (provided) and the team to get the most points wins.

In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .
