This is an action-packed distance learning or home school explanation of the cause and effects of friction including an investigation into the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface and a step – by step guide to the perfect bar graph. Examples of useful friction in terms of grip and non-useful friction in terms of decreased speed and heat production are considered. This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. 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.

A great way to consolidate learning on breathing and the respiratory system with this pack of cards which can be used to play three different card games. So much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning! 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.

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. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

A comprehensive and enjoyable fully resourced lesson on refraction. The pack also includes a virtual experiment to find the values of the angles of incidence and refraction in a semi – circular glass block. This can either be used as a tool to enable the student to draw conclusions or as instruction for the student to perform their own real time experiment. What’s Covered The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal. Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted. Light is not refracted at a curved boundary. Complete ray diagrams showing refraction. Design an experiment and results table to investigate refraction through a semi - circular glass block Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth.

This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on lenses including the eye, the pinhole camera and the camera. 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. **Included in this Pack. ** 42 question and answer cards Teacher’s answer sheet.

Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use. Cut sheets into cards. Prior Knowledge Required 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 More high quality resources available here.
