Worksheet based lesson on moments, pivots, and levers. Introduction to the equation, some practice using some Star Wars characters (I did this to engage my low achieving boys, seemed to work!) and some pivot identifying problems largely borrowed from another TES resource, as is some of the worksheet. Additional worksheets included for scaffolding and extensions.<br /> <br /> The presentation follows the main worksheet and the timers are geared up for a low ability class so may need shortening accordingly depending on your audience.

I did this with a cascade of demonstrations set up starting from jumping wires leading up to a ribbon tweeter made out of aluminium foil playing music - look it up on youtube, it's great fun to do and the kids were mesmerised. Anyway - this is pretty basic, some past paper questions in the file and attached in a separate document. Feel free to leave a review - especially with suggestions for improvement but don't be too mean - it is free after all, and I hope it saves you some time.

Very basic presentation focusing on answering 5 and 6 mark questions. Bulk of the presentation is dedicated to these questions. Usually finish this lesson with pupils building motors using the westminster kit. I hope it saves time.

Lesson designed to follow year 7 activate SOW. Some sheets to print on final slides. Some links to YouTube for Echolocation song (by Batney Ears) and to a basic description of ultrasound scanning.<br /> <br /> I hope you find this useful!<br /> <br /> Credit for some images from Activate book - designed to compliment Activate SOW.

<p>I love this lesson!</p> <p>Can crush, inverted glass, cartesian diver! I usually throw in a few more demos. What a great subject we teach! Rejoice!</p> <p>The powerpoint is basic and covers the salient points.</p> <p>I hope it helps!</p>

This isn't for everyone, please read!<br /> <br /> This is a very quick tour of the aforementioned electricity chapters. It follows the syllabus closely with questions and theory interspersed throughout. Answer sheet included. Best printed as a an A5 stapled booklet.<br /> <br /> What this is good for:<br /> <br /> + Diagnostic test<br /> + Revision aid<br /> + Quick coverage of subject matter if needed<br /> + Designed for middle sets with target grade 6<br /> + Designed to take 1 lesson OR 1 homework<br /> <br /> Do not purchase this if:<br /> <br /> - You need stretch and challenge (higher sets)<br /> - You need thorough coverage of the material<br /> - You need heavy scaffolding (lower sets)

<p>Introduction to circular motion and orbits including satellites. It’s a relatively straightforward semi-didactic lesson designed to get through the materials quickly. I would recommend swinging some golf balls around, a bucket of water over your head, and spinning a sparkler in a drill to lighten this up a little bit.</p> <p>Having said that, the theory is all there (I think - please correct me if I’m wrong) and I’ve put together some exam style questions that cover the slide contents.</p> <p>Topics covered:</p> <ul> <li>how to get into orbit</li> <li>defining centripetal force as a resultant force</li> <li>some examples</li> <li>Relationship between satellite height and speed including why</li> <li>Some basic orbit descriptions</li> <li>Orbital speed calculation</li> <li>Factors affecting magnitude of centripetal force</li> </ul> <p>As an aside - I can’t remember whether I wrote the slides about kicking dogs or not - I’ve had them for a while so if they are someone else’s then thanks and feel free to claim credit!</p> <p>I hope this helps - please let me know if you would suggest any improvements.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

Here are two versions of the same lesson - one with a booklet-style worksheet and one with smaller 'glue in' type diagrams.<br /> <br /> They cover the whole activate lesson so it's quite packed. The file size is large due to a video which is optional enrichment and can be removed if you find it problematic.<br /> <br /> Not on this presentation but a fun thing to do if you have time is to get a few volunteers to scream as loud as possible into a sound meter and record their dB. This is a great way of introducing them to the base 10 nature of the scale as there is always a huge difference in their abilities to shout loud but not a big difference in the dB readings.<br /> <br /> Lesson comprises:<br /> <br /> Short starter on waveforms AfL<br /> Short recap on sound wave propagation <br /> Structure and function of the ear + AfL<br /> What covers hearing loss (according to activate) + AfL<br /> Loudness and the dB scale - I usually get kids to draw around a template.<br /> Microphone to ear comparison (+AfL)<br /> Plenary quiz<br /> <br /> Note - some of the worksheet is from somewhere else - I can't quite remember where, and some of the images are lifted from Activate to compliment the book.

Simple presentation designed to be used in conjunction with OHP demos for solenoid and single wire. It's pretty basic but it's free because we're all struggling to find time, aren't we? I hope it saves you some time!

<p>Covers the basics of pressure in liquids focusing on the pressure/depth relationship. Includes some higher grade questions. There are some links to optional extension videos in the presentation notes where I usually provide them for optional enrichment in Google classroom. Feel free to remove these if required.</p> <p>I hope this helps!</p>

Basic lesson. Recommended equipment - demo motor and milliammeter to show how generation is reverse of motor effect. Would recommend wiring up a magnet bouncing up and down into a coil (I used a 3600 turn transformer coil) attached to an oscilloscope - if the oscillation of the magnet is steady then you get a nice sine wave although you may need to attach a weight to the magnet depending on the stiffness of your spring :). Nothing fancy here but it is free and made with love - please enjoy and I hope it save you time! :)

<p>This is a bit of a hotch-potch lesson designed to quickly revise some principles after a cover lesson. It therefore lacks some of the structure. However, I hope you’ll find it useful in terms of the sequences of slides, etc,</p> <p>You will notice that the lesson includes hydraulics despite hydraulics not being in the spec. However, this is in the presentation as an application of pressure in fluids. Although not on the spec it could easily end up on the exam, Several textbooks have made the same leap too, hence it’s in there.</p> <p>Anyway, I hope it helps.</p>

Written for the new spec Physics AQA. Not my best work but it's free so it might save you some time. I hope it's useful!

<p>Basic powerpoint covering the main points of upthrust.</p> <p>Final task is to design an experiment. I usually bring in some aluminium foil, some masses, and some fish tanks and get the kids to explore the buoyancy of different shapes made by the aluminium foil and masses.</p> <p>Basic, I know, but hope it helps!</p>

Non-practical version of lesson. I usually do a bungee practical as described in Kerboodle for this lesson which is not included here for copyright purposes.<br /> <br /> Lesson includes:<br /> <br /> Misconception bell task - can energy be lost?<br /> Conservation of mechanical energy demo by Walter Lewin<br /> Pendulum question<br /> Some definitions of conservation of energy and energy dissipation followed by AfL on this.<br /> ==BUNGEE PRACTICAL GOES WELL HERE IF YOU DECIDE TO DO IT==<br /> Exam question practice<br /> Includes extra exam question on pendulums which I normally set as a homework.<br /> <br /> Hope this helps.

This is a how science works lesson focusing on vocabulary development.<br /> <br /> All pupils do a basic definition match up exercise first. They are then split up into groups and there are 4 possible tasks that they can carry out (I usually randomly distribute the tasks amongst them). The tasks are printed on booklets which the pupils have one each and the tasks are graded. The 4 tasks are classics focusing on measuring ear lobes, eye colour, hand span, and height (some measuring equipment needed - tape measures, rulers for hand span). The class then does the data gathering from each other and some analysis.<br /> <br /> For differentiation pupils are give a choice of either doing an easier and slightly more scaffolded follow up task if they struggled or they can do an extension task if they found it easy which includes some method writing so higher level. Please note that I usually print extension task sheet on green paper and there are several references to a 'green sheet' which you will need to change if you decide against this.<br /> <br /> I hope this helps - how science works lessons are always tricky!!

3 lessons with 3 worksheets (designed to be printed as A5 booklets). Some links to YouTube so internet access required.<br /> <br /> *THIS DOES NOT COVER EVERYTHING*<br /> <br /> This resource has been designed to revise the basics of the aforementioned subject for low to middle ability students. This is not a stretch and challenge resource. In addition, some of the finer detail is missing for brevity but enough information is there to secure grades 4-6. As this is for lower ability, expect heavy support and lots of small, simple tasks. Not much independent learning.<br /> <br /> Having said that, this is ideal as a revision resource or an accelerated programme if needed.<br /> <br /> Includes:<br /> <br /> - organisation<br /> - digestive system<br /> - enzymes (basic)<br /> - blood<br /> - blood vessels<br /> - heart<br /> - helping the heart<br /> - breathing and gas exchange<br /> <br /> I hope you find it useful!

Presentation to show life cycle of a star. Please read notes for explanation. Lots of gifs, which my pupils liked. Recommend viewing in a darkened room. Images mostly from NASA, ESA, and wikipedia and there is a slide from another presentation on TES. <br /> <br /> Even if you don't use the presentation as it is, I've done a lot of the legwork in finding gifs and images so I hope it helps.

Basic explanation of transformers designed to go with transformer demo and finishing with past paper questions. Pretty didactic but the kids seemed to understand the concept after the presentation so it can't be that bad! I hope it saves you some time!

Bit of a problem here - I can't include the worksheets as they are copywrite from kerboodle. If you don't have access to these you still might find the structure of the presentation useful and it might save you some time - I hope so anyway!

<p>Whole Energy Resources topic for AQA delivering up to grade 5.</p> <p>Lots of recall and low cognitive load stuff. Far from perfect but I hope it helps provide some sort of a backbone for the topic. Please note that instead of individual worksheets I’ve produced a workbook but this can be easily adapted to worksheets should you require.</p> <p>These resources contain some parts of other people’s resources too but I’ve forgotten the origins so if you see your work in there then let me know and I will either credit you or remove the resource if you feel necessary.</p> <p>I hope this helps in some way!</p> <p>Included:</p> <p>Energy demands<br /> Power from wind and wave<br /> Power from Sun and Earth<br /> Power from fossil fuels<br /> Power from nuclear fuel<br /> Energy project<br /> Energy and the environment<br /> Saving Energy in the Home</p>
