Andy Darvill's TES stuff

Average Rating5.00
(based on 5 reviews)

I've been teaching science/physics for quite a while, and written lots of stuff along the way. Much of what I've written is for Nelson Thornes, OUP and SamLearning, but here are some things that are properly mine and I can publish here. Hope you find them useful. At www.darvill.clara.net you'll find some more items, and minisites about gcse radioactivity, energy resources and the electromagnetic spectrum which can occupy a class for a whole lesson and more.

This is pretty much an whole lesson, but you’ll need to insert your own half life calculations worksheet (I have one that I like, but i didn’t write it so can’t include it here). The lesson centres around eating chocolate M&Ms. Or Skittles if you prefer or if anyone in the room has a peanut allergy. The idea is to have something that gives you ‘heads’ or ‘tails’ when tipped out onto the desk.
