OCR GCSE GATEWAY SCIENCE SUITE 2016 Electrical Cables Controlled Assessment Practical Preparation Additional science B B723 / Physics B753 / Further Additional Science B B763 Five experiments for students to prepare for controlled assessment. Suitable as a standalone double lesson or over a longer period with electrical resistance theory. 1 Tensile strength; 2 Resistance and type of metal; 3 Resistance and cross-sectional area; 4 Resistance and temperature; 5 Resistance and length. These experiments have been fully tested and work well with simple equipment from the prep room. I’ve done all the trial and error work for you! (Who’d have thought it takes 1.5-1.7 kg to break 36 swg constantan wire?) All variables covered allowing students to discover relationships with resistance or tensile strength. Experiment 4 enables students to write a meaningful risk assessment in due course. Curriculum

Students and graph drawing need I say more. I’ve finally written this set of simple rules to help with the new OCR Gateway Coursework but this should be useful with KS3, KS4 and VI Form for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Use the PowerPoint with the class as a reminder before they draw a graph and print and laminate the summary to put on the desks while they draw the graph. I've included a video by Semaj Nosugref the robot to explain things..
