I am a super dyslexic teacher, with a dash of ADD, all my resources are built with access in mind, because honestly, if they weren't I wouldn't be able to read them. Note the pastel tones, chunking and clear notation ques. As such my resources are also super easy to scaffold or stretch, and definitely easy to replicate. Please enjoy, and hang in there, at whatever school you're at, I can guarantee that those kids need you in their lives a lot more than you realise.

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.

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.

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!

Touching on the rather sad subject of OAP's that cannot afford heating in their homes, this lesson see's students exploring how homes could be effectively insulated and applying the knowledge in a relatable way to an elderly loved one who could benefit from the advice. 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 brilliant achievement for any young scientist is building your own working motor (and electromagnet), its not pretty, its hard work and it'll keep them busy with constant improvments to the design, all you'll need is paperclips, tape, a battery and some copper wire. 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!
