An ideal science activity for the end of the Christmas term which promotes not only the concept of teamwork but also individually contributing to the success of a team. There are 56 science and Christmas trivia questions in this animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. Team Rounds Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round. Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying. There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark. Individual Rounds Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged. This is an individual not a team round. Memory Test – questions on eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear. Memory Test – give coordinates of frogs which have moved around a pond. Finally, the ten - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes. Why not have a look at my shop? Elf Off the Shelf Shop

This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Objective To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery. To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance. To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness. To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor. To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

A comprehensive and enjoyable fully resourced lesson on white light, dispersion and color filters. What’s Covered The order of the seven colours of the spectrum Dispersion is the separation of white light into the seven different colors of the spectrum. During dispersion, red light is refracted the least and violet light the most. Dispersion is caused by the fact that each colour of light travels at a different speed in glass. Red, green and blue are primary light colors. Magenta, cyan and yellow are secondary light colors. Mixing two primary light colours gives a secondary light color. Mixing the three primary light colors gives white light. An object only reflects light the same color as itself and absorbs all the others Work out the color an object appears in different light color What’s Included Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable Cut and stick activity.

A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm. How it Works The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance. Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken. They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher. The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins. The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win. On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer. Question Content All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include: geography history sport nature current affairs science music astrology astronomy flags of the world famous people famous landmarks Types of Question Straight forward select the correct answer. Unscramble the picture to identify the object. Memory test – answer questions on the order and detail of objects which have passed on a conveyor belt. Memory test – Give the coordinates of fish before and after they swim around a pond. Identify the slowly - revealed animal or famous location. Identify the well – known phrase or saying from animated clues. Lots more resources at my shop? Elf Off the Shelf Resources

Finish and reinforce a module of work on magnets or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Prior Knowledge Required Magnetic materials can be made into magnets. Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials. Unlike poles attract and like pole repel. There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines. Draw the field lines around a bar magnet. The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field. Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing. There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest. The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases. Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet. When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction. The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.
