Current Electricity - Comparing Lamps in Series Circuits and Parallel Circuits KS3
Pupils learn that, while a parallel circuit has branches, a series circuit does not. By experiment, they will learn that all the lamps in a series circuit are equally bright as indeed they are in a parallel circuit but that identical lamps are brighter when connected in parallel than in series. Lastly, they will show experimentally that lamps in parallel remain on when one is removed but go out when one is removed from a series circuit.
Objective
To know that as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer.
To know that as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change.
To know that if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness.
To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out.
To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.

Mixtures Solutions and Suspensions Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on mixtures, including solutions, suspensions, dissolving, saturated solutions and solubility. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.

Forces - Friction and Air Resistance Dominoes KS3
A dominoes game with questions and statements on friction and air resistance instead of answers.
Prior Knowledge
• Friction slows objects down and produces heat.
• Friction opposes motion.
• Friction wastes energy.
• Friction produces grip.
• Lubricants reduce friction.
• Oil is a lubricant.
• Air resistance is a type of friction.
• Air resistance is caused by the front of a moving object colliding with air particles.
• An object with low air resistance has a streamlined shape
What You Get
• 80 dominos
• Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
• Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
• The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
• Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
• If a player thinks a match is wrong they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
• If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

Forces - What is Friction? KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the cause and effects of friction with a practical investigating the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface. Examples of useful friction in terms of grip and non-useful friction in terms of decreased speed and heat production are considered.
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

Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources
This pack contains fifteen 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. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
