Brilliant lesson for year 7 particularly for them just getting the hang of BiG Skool expectations. The lesson walks you through idea that white light is actually split into different wavelengths, the human eye ony recognises three and our brain fills in all the blanks, by spinning spinner faster than our eye can recogise we can trick our brain into recognising white light. A colour printer is useful for low ability, but high abilities will LOVE getting thier fancy big skool colouring pens out.

A fun little debate lesson, students explore the different effects of light waves on our bodies in a table, then are faced with the horror of the prospect mobile pohones computers and tv's could be taken away if they can't convince the teacher that these devices before bedtime DO NOT cause a loss of concentration, learning and sleep.

One of the most fun lessons I like to teach (nevermind the fact I love astrophysics), you'll go through scale of the solar system, modeling out the distances, astronomical units and discussing the difficulties of communicating in space. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

An excellent lesson focusing on Electromagnets, it takes you througha simple practical, then expands on the variables (more coils etc) before reviewing everything. Very easily scaffolded or extended.

Expanding on the Yr7 base knowledge this lesson goes through the differences between transveres and longitudinal waves, labelling diagrams as you go, I find this to be so much more fun if you have an airzooka for blasting the class with and a pocket laser and ray box for impropt demos as needed. Of particular use will be a prism to demo that light is mad eof different colours and wavelengths.

A nifty little resource that guides students through refraction (not easy) you'll need a laser pointer or better yet a fancy looking laser (not for the kids) to get the best out of this, however the ray boxes they would use for the practical would work well also.

A damn tough lesson to teach, but actually a really simple concept, stuff gets hot, stuff jiggles about, stuff spreads out. Keep it simple and you cant go wrong, you’ll need a worksheet, I use kerboodles for this but the really key bit, suprisingly is the exceptionally childish narrative exercise, get kids writing silly stories about Jimmy the drip and it tattoos the information onto their brain stem!

Brilliant lesson, focusing on whole class questioning, get a good bouncing question technique going with some solid 'no shouting out' ground rules and you're onto a winner, perfect for getting in all those awesome demos too, like the ol heating up a broken rich tea biscuit of golden syrup and water over a packed tray of sand.

Super challenging subject this, its all about the build up so make sure you 've laid solid groundwork first, this is a mostly practical lesson with students setting up immersion heaters, measing the latent heat of fusion (how much energy it takes to melt something) and then plugging through a multistage equation to calculate an answer, easily extended to check the official figure for Lf and consider the percentage error of results. Super fun but also makes the kids feel like this is the sum of quite a familiar stretch of physics.

Who doesnt love teaching refraction, okay its hard, but how cool is it messing with prisms! Make sure your AFL is on point with this one and don't be afraid to cut it short and go slower, hence this resources gradual stepping up, at any point you can level off, say right thats enough, jump into the practical and pick up the next day but more in depth, I strongly recommend each time you teach this doing the practical as it will cement the need to know stuff in each time you repeat it. Oh by the way, no matter how hard I try, if you get the kids to model refraction by marching, expect every kid in your class to salute you for at least the rest of term (its funny at first but it gets old.. real old) https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

A super fun lesson using ray boxes and lasers, students will work out the angle of reflection, calculate and draw incidence and reflected beams, culminating with the class groups each calculating the angle required to reflect a beam from each group, I have had one class of 8 groups succesfully bounce a laser all 8 times and reflect back to the whiteboard. All my students remember this lesson.

Students will build the earth with a cut and stick exercise, excellent chance to demo with household products (level them out by density), then swiftly moving onto convection current and the good ol golden syrup and biscuit convection current demo.

I LOVE this lesson, anyonewho's a fan of KISS will love it too. Essentially you'll start off with comparing the slinky model (which everyone uses) to draw sound waves with volume and pitch, insert a few comical voices here and there and you're away, the students will have these logged in their books. Then the real fun begins, your challenge then is to get students to gradually improve a sound wave on the board to get KISS's 'I wanna rock and roll all night' out of a monotone drool and into the sound it should be. After their inevitable success then you can play a full clip of what KISS actually look like (class gasps), after that there's a ghost hunt with fairly comical names to do. Solid learning, comical twists and the added satisfaction of kids walking all over school singing KISS at the top of their little lungs! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

Getting a jump start on inefficiencies and the second and first laws of thermodynamics, this lesson gets students excited about the good 'ol pendulum, P.S parents will not forgive you if you put pendulum (the band) on in the background! This lesson is easily dialled up or down for all abilities though I would recommend getting your own style on the practical, everyone teaches it differently and its wide open to reinterpretation. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

AIRZOOKA. Get one as soon as possible, its perfect for demonstrating how sound travels through the air and super fun for choosing kids for questioning with. This is a great lesson that has students investigating sound and waves and then building a string and cup telephone, students will then investigate how sound travels through water and metal.

A brilliant little lesson that is a great visual, if you have a doorway and corridor to demo with it then its super handy, a ripple tank would also be a great demo, however there's everything you need on here to demonstrate how waves defract and reflect. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!
