A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the causes and effects of air resistance and friction with animated PowerPoints which: demonstrate air resistance as resulting from collisions between the front of an object and air particles; demonstrate how friction is caused by collisions between “bumps” in sliding surfaces and slows them down and produces heat; demonstrate why streamlined bodies reduce air resistance to travel faster; provide a visual explanation of the relationship between acceleration due to gravity, sir resistance, steady speed and why parachutes work. The three practicals investigate: the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface. the relationship between surface area of a parachute and air resistance do streamlined objects travel faster in water? What’s Covered Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N). Friction increases with the roughness of the surface. Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other. Collisions slow things down and produce heat. How lubricants reduce friction Air resistance results from collisions between the front of an object and air particles. Steady speed. Air resistance wastes energy and slows moving objects What’s Included Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz (x2) Answer PowerPoints to make self and peer assessment easy Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) (x2) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) Foldable (x2) Cut-and-stick activity pupil uses to make their own notes) (x2) Worksheet to support the PowerPoints (x2) Fact sheet (x2) Homework plus answers (x6) Fact share worksheet (x2) 24 Taboo cards Pupil progress self-assessment checklist (x2) Exit Ticket Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources This pack contains thirty-one resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available.

A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to forces and an explanation of the relationship between mass and weight. What’s Covered Force is a pull or a push with examples. Arrows indicate the direction of force. Contact and non-contact forces explained and examples Forces can change an objects speed, direction or shape The Newton and newtonmeter. Real-life examples of forces. All objects attract each other and that the attraction force depends on the size of the object. The attraction force of planets is called gravity which acts towards the centre. Gravity hold Earth’s atmosphere in place. Mass is the amount of material in a body, is measured in kilograms (Kg) and is independent of position. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on a mass. Units for gravitational field strength are N/Kg. Applying W = m x g to calculate weight of a body on Earth, the Moon and Jupiter. Practical The first simple practical gives pupils experience in reading scales as they find the weight of their pencil case and other items provided by the teacher. (selection of different objects and different size newtonmeters needed) The second practical introduces an element of fun and competition by using a bathroom scales calibrated in Newtons (an ordinary bathroom scales can be used but multiply the reading in kilograms by 10) to find the person with the strongest grip in the class (photograph of how to do this shown on the PowerPoint) What’s Included Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz (x2) Answer PowerPoint to make self and peer assessment easier Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) (x2) Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) (x2) Foldable x2) Cut-and-stick activity pupil uses to make their own notes) (x2) Worksheet to support the PowerPoint (x2) Fact sheet (x2) Homework plus answers (x6) Fact share worksheet (x2) 12 Taboo cards Pupil progress self-assessment checklist(x2) Exit Ticket Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources (x2) This pack contains thirty resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available.

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. Explain how an electric bell, a relay and a circuit breaker work.
