This lesson gives an interesting and student led journey on sound waves and how they move through liquids and solids. This could be expanded to included gasses also, but focusses on the particle model for waves. Aimed at Year 8, this could also be used for other KS3 classes and even Foundation KS4 Used several times with success, including an opportunity for marking a piece of work in class, either by peer review or by teacher

In this complete lesson resource, there is an Hour lesson (Or 2 lessons if you wish to stretch and add extra activity), on the definition of planets, stars and dwarf Planets, as well as informative video links and exercises to help students understand the effect of a body’s mass on the weight of an object.
