This is a worksheet that I set for a cover lesson to try to introduce the different forces and the drawing of force diagrams. There are activities to develop literacy, learn what the difference forces and their effects are, draw force diagrams and describe forces at work in a diagram.

This crossword could be used with either KS3 or 4 to revise the food groups, their importance in our diets and some symptoms of an unbalanced diet. Comments welcome!

I used this as a starter for the first lesson of the AQA Energy in Biomass unit. Students then have correct spellings of all words. You can question students to come up with definitions of the words. They can then refer to the keywords throughout the topic, for example to label different organisms in a food chain or pyramid of biomass. I used this with a middle set Year 9 class and we have found it really useful for referring back to.

Worksheet designed to support learners with rearranging and applying the Ohm’s Law equation. Markscheme and working out included. Questions are more challenging going down the page. Students can self-differentiate by choosing when they are ready to move on to the next row, or differentiation can be by teacher recommending which row students should work on.

Print the resource onto A4 or A3 card. Students cut out the pyramid net, answer the questions ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE of the template and then glue together to make a pyramid so that their answers are visible ON THE OUTSIDE. Can be complemented by pictures cut and stuck onto the food pyramid side. Questions can be adapted to suit the age range / ability of your class.

This is a worksheet with a hypothesis and method for students to carry out a practical. The practical involves burning different snacks ( I use wheat based snacks like Wotsits, Wheat Crunchies etc. as they burn best). They measure start and end temperature of a volume of water and apply this to the formula E = mcT to find out how much energy is in the different snacks. I have used this for both the specific heat capacity and diet and exercise topics. The structure of the worksheet models what is expected from AQA ISA candidates. All comments / improvements welcome!
