KS3 Cells Quiz Plenary/Exit Ticket Activity
Versatile resource. A ten-question animated slideshow quiz with sound effects on eleven slides which also be used as an exit ticket activity. Each pupil has three cards A, B and C. They select the answer to a question and hold up the appropriate card before the answer to the question is revealed. This also provides instant feedback on pupil progress for the teacher and the opportunity for further explanation. It can also be used by pupils individually in a network room or loaded onto the school website for use as revision at home. Each slide shows the instructions reading time, thinking time, hold up your card and click for answer. Functions are timed but can be over-ridden by a mouse-click. This format was highly praised by inspectors. The quiz is available as a ppsx file so that it runs as a slideshow.
The quiz is a part of a fully resource lesson which is also available.

Current Electricity - Current Voltage and Resistance Explained KS3
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.

Magnetism - Magnets and Electromagnets Explained for KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to magnetism and electromagnets including an animated investigation into how increasing the number of turns on the coil increases the strength of an electromagnet.
What’s Covered
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.

Light - Dispersion, White Light and Colour Filters Fully Resourced Lesson KS3
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

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.
