This is a lesson aimed at the new GCSE Physics specification, it meets specification points for the 'Energy' module. For more lessons within this series please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This lesson begins by students considering how energy is transferred to useful or wasted energy stores and the concept of energy dissipation is introduced. The first activity involves students filling in a worksheet to identify the useful and wasted energy transfers in different systems, this is then self-assessed using the answers on the PowerPoint. Pupils are then given the opportunity to describe the energy transfers of a pendulum, particularly thinking about why a pendulum eventually comes to a stop. Pupils can self-assess their work using the mark scheme on the PowerPoint. Pupils are then introduced to energy 'efficiency' and how they can use the wasted and useful energy values of a system to calculate the efficiency of this device. Pupils are firstly given some easier calculations to try which can be modelled on the board, answers are provided. Pupils can then complete the worksheet of calculations, which they can self-assess using the answers on the Power Point slide. For the last activity pupils are required to copy and complete a table, filling in missing values of either the efficiency, the wasted energy or useful energy values of different devices. Pupils can again self-assess using the answers provided. The plenary activity is a past-paper exit card, I get pupils to hand the completed worksheet to me as they leave and I will mark it and hand it back to them for the next lesson with a grade and improvements. Thanks for purchasing, please let me know if you have any feedback :). Worksheets are found at the end of the PowerPoint slide and all answers are provided so pupils can peer or self-assess their work throughout the lesson.

This is a resource aimed at the NEW GCSE Physics specification on ‘Energy’. Other lessons from this series can be found in my TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins by considering objects with elastic potential energy stores. The calculation for the elastic potential energy store of an object is introduced and pupils can have a go at rearranging it themselves. **If lower ability - you can go through this on the board** Pupils then copy and complete the table which leads them through the different stages to this calculation, they can then self-assess their work using a red pen. The next two slides are questions pupils can complete to work out the elastic potential energy stores of various objects, these questions can be self-assessed. The final activity is a past-paper question task (worksheet provided at the end of the PowerPoint) whereby pupils complete the questions, pass to their peers and peers will mark the work using the mark scheme provided on the PowerPoint. Peers should provide a positive comment, negative comment and something to improve. All resources for this lesson are included at the end of the PowerPoint presentation. Thanks & enjoy :)

This is a lesson aimed at the new AQA Physics GCSE module on 'Energy'. For more lessons within this series please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins by introducing the concept of 'work done', by using the example of a person pedalling a bike. The first task the pupils will need to complete is to produce a mind map on activities which require work to be done in order something to happen. Pupils are then shown the equation to calculate work done and they can work through a model question. You can work through this question with pupils on the board or ask them to try and complete it in their books, then self-assess the work. The main activity for this lesson is a practical activity, the method for this practical is included in the PowerPoint presentation. Pupils will drag a wooden block across the desk a measured distance, the wooden block will be dragged initially with no elastic bands around it and then with one elastic band and finally with two elastic bands. Pupils will measure the force applied to drag the block using a Newton meter and record their results in a table (table included at the end of the PowerPoint). Using the measured distance and the force applied pupils can then work out the work done to drag each type of wooden block. The plenary activity is for pupils to complete a couple more work done calculations. All resources are included in the PowerPoint presentation.

This lesson is designed to meet specification points from the NEW AQA GCSE 'Energy' module. For more lessons within this series please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. The lesson begins with pictures demonstrating the 5 energy stores, pupils will need to discuss and decide on what these energy stores might be using the pictures. Once pupils have identified the energy stores (these can be written down on the whiteboard) pupils will then need to complete sentences which describe each of the energy stores, sentence starters are provided. Pupils are then given a slide with pictures which demonstrate examples of energy transfers, pupils again will need to identify the different ways in which energy can be transferred using the pictures. The next part of the lesson will focus on energy transfer flow diagrams, pupils will need to describe the energy transfers taking place in different systems, including a torch, candle & TV. There is a worksheet at the end of the PowerPoint which pupils can use to complete these tasks. When finished, pupils can self-assess their work. Pupils will then answer some progress check questions in their books, I usually ask pupils to complete in silence to reflect on what they have learnt this lesson. Pupils will then self-assess their work. The final task is a past-paper question, pupils can complete on the sheet and peer-assess their work using the mark scheme provided.

This is a resource which meets specification points from the NEW AQA GCSE Physics 'Energy' SoW. Other lessons from this SoW can be found in my TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This lesson begins by pupils considering which of the energy resources are renewable or non-renewable. Pupils will then use the posters, which can be placed around the room or on pupils desks, to complete a table which identifies how the energy resource generates electricity and the advantages and disadvantages of each energy resource. Pupils are then given a list of statements about all power stations which they need to cut and stick (or write) into two columns - advantages or disadvantages. **To challenge higher ability pupils this could be completed at the back of students books, so they cannot use information from the previous task**. Pupils can then peer-assess their work. The plenary activity is a past-paper question which involves analysing some data on the usage of different power stations between two time periods. The mark scheme is included, pupils can use this to either peer-assess or self-assess their answer. All resources are included. Please review, I would appreciate any feedback :). Thanks!

This lesson is aimed at the new GCSE specification, on the topic of ‘Energy’. More lessons from this series can be found in my TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience Pupils begin by considering what types of objects have a store of kinetic energy and then they can ‘Think, Pair, Share’ - what factors might affect how much kinetic energy an object actually has? The lesson then moves on to show pupils the calculation to work out kinetic energy, you can work through two model questions with pupils on the board. Pupils are then given a table where the calculation is broken down into sections. They are given the mass and the speed of an object, they will need to calculate 0.5 x mass in one column and the speed squared in another - from this they can calculate the kinetic energy. Once complete pupils can assess their work using a red pen. The next part of the lesson introduces how to rearrange the equation and then an activity follows with slightly harder calculations on kinetic energy, where they may be required to use the rearranged equation. Self-assessment of work when complete. **Higher ability students should now have a go at the past-paper question from the NEW AQA GCSE specimen material, they can complete the question and mark their work using the mark scheme provided** The plenary is game of ‘equation bingo’ - the students write 6 equations/words/phrases into their books, you describe their meaning and if students have the correct equation/word/phrase they can cross them out of their book. The first person to cross all of them out correctly can shout bingo! All resources are included in the PowerPoint - enjoy :)

This is a resource designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA GCSE Physics module on ‘Energy’. Other lessons of this series can be found in my TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience It begins with a discussion on what power is a measurements of, there are hints that can be put on the board for lower ability students. You can then provide students with a definition of power which they can write down in their books. Pupils then consider the units of power, they can copy and complete sentences on the board which compare watts to joules/second and the difference between watts and kilowatts, joules and kilo joules. Next is the completion of a formula triangle in their books, higher ability students can figure out how to write this on their own but for lower ability students you may want to guide them through it. The concept of power is then put into context using Mo Farah/Usain Bolt as examples (videos provided). The next task is a table that students will need to copy off the board, it outlines different appliances and pupils will have to perform calculations to fill in the blanks. Pupils can self-assess their work using red pens, answers are provided on the PowerPoint slide. The final activity is a worksheet pupils can complete on power, again the answers to this worksheet is provided within the PowerPoint slide for pupils to self-assess the work. Plenary activity requires pupils to state three key facts from the lesson, 2 key words and pose a question to their peers on the topic of power. All resources are included in the PowerPoint slide. Thanks & enjoy :)

This is a resource which meets specification points for the NEW AQA GCSE Physics 'Energy' module. The lesson begins by introducing the concept of gravitational potential energy stores, pupils will have learnt about this in the first lessons from this module on 'Energy stores' (found in my TES shop - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience). Pupils are then given the first calculation needed to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy of an object (weight x height). Pupils can then practise using this calculation by copying and completing the task on the next slide. Pupils will self-assess their work, answers provided on a PowerPoint slide. Pupils are then introduced to the second calculation they can use to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy of an object (mass x gravitational field strength x height). Pupils can then complete questions 1-5 on the worksheet provided and once finished they can self-assess their work. The final activity is for pupils to look at a past-paper question, with their partners they can discuss how to go about answering the question. Following a class discussion pupils can attempt to answer the question and then self-assess their work. **For higher ability pupils they can complete the question without the class discussion**. The plenary is a '30 second conversation', pupils turn to their partners and talk about what they have learnt this lesson for 30 seconds. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This is a lesson which meets specification points for the new AQA 'Energy' module (2016). The lesson begins by considering whether a pendulum placed in a vacuum will carry on swinging, pupils can discuss their thoughts and there is a video which shows an experiment taking place with a pendulum placed in different mediums. Pupils can then draw a diagram to show the energy transfers taking place as a pendulum swings. Pupils are the introduced to the principal of the conservation of energy, they can write this definition down in their books. Pupils are then given a blank cartoon strip, pupils will need to complete the captions to describe the energy transfers taking place during a bungee jump and they can draw a diagram to represent what is happening for each caption. **This task could be difficult for lower ability students, you can provide the words that go in the blanks on the board for pupils who may struggle with his task.** The next slide has progress check questions for pupils to complete in their books, pupils can then peer-assess their work. **Slides 6-7, which contain additional tasks on the conservation of energy - a fill-in-the blank task & a word search - could be used as an alternative to the more difficult progress check questions for classes of lower ability, or could be used as an extra activity for higher ability classes** The plenary is a 3-2-1 task, pupils state 3 facts, 2 key words and create 1 question to test peers on the topic of the lesson. All resources for this lesson are found at the end of the PowerPoint.

This is a lesson aimed at the new Physics specification, it meets specification points within the 'Energy' module. Other lessons from the 'Energy' module can be found in my TES shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins with a word search that pupils can complete to identify key words related to this lesson. Pupils will then watch a video on specific heat capacity where they will need to identify the factors which may affect a materials SHC. Pupils are then introduced to the concept of specific heat capacity and you can work through model questions with students to demonstrate how to approach and answer questions (model questions included on the PowerPoint slides). Pupils then have a go at completing SHC capacity questions on their own, pupils can then self-assess their work. Next activity is a 'Cloze' activity where pupils need to copy and complete sentences, words are provided. Plenary - pupils are provided with a range of answers, they need to write questions which correspond to these answers. All resources are included in the PowerPoint presentation. Enjoy and if you have any feedback please leave a review :)!

This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year 8 Science course, specifically the P2 1.1 unit on ‘Electricity & Magnetism’. The lesson begins with a question for pupils to ‘Think > Pair > Share’ their ideas about what they already know about magnets. This can be discussed in a group, before feeding back to the classroom. Students will now complete a practical investigation: testing magnetic materials, in groups they will be given a selection of materials and a bar magnet, they will need to determine which materials are magnetic. Once complete, students can check their work against the answers provided. Next, students will investigate what happens when the poles of two bar magnets are brought together. Students will be given a set of combinations to try: N + N, S + N, S + S - attract or repel? Their results can be recorded in a table in their books and then be assessed using the mark scheme once complete. The next part of the lesson focuses on magnetic fields; firstly, students are shown the magnetic field of a bar magnet. They will have a go at drawing their own - they will have a worksheet, on it is lots of of circles surrounding a bar magnet, on each of the circles they will place a compass and then draw the direction the arrow is facing. Once complete, students should link up the arrows to show the direction of the magnetic field, they can stick this worksheet into their books. The last part of the lesson focuses on the magnetic field surrounding Earth, students are shown diagrams to demonstrate this idea and then will assess their knowledge of the subject by getting students to complete a fill-in-the-blanks task. This task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided in the PowerPoint presentation. The plenary task requires students to summarise what they have learned this lesson in three sentences. All resources are included at the end of the presentation, thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

This lesson is designed for the Activate KS3 Science Course, specifically Year 7 P2 ’Sound’. For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. This lesson begins with an introduction into how sound can be ‘seen’ by using an oscilloscope. The PowerPoint then moves on to look at the differences between the ‘intensity’ of a sound and the ‘pitch’ of the sound. Students can copy and complete a set of sentences to summarise what they have learned so far as part of a ‘progress check’ - this work can then be marked using the mark scheme included. Students will then be given two different sound waves, they will need to use what they have learned so far to write a description/comparison of each of the waves, a list of key words will be provided to hep students. A model answer to this question is included in the PowerPoint so students can self-assess their work once it is complete. Students will now be given a worksheet of sound waves, along with a worksheet describing the sounds collected by the ‘Most Haunted’ team of a range of ghost sounds. Students will need to compare the description of the ghosts to the sound waves collected and match them correctly. This work can then be marked and corrected using the answers provided on the PowerPoint. Students will now think about the frequencies that humans can hear compared to other animals. The first activity requires students to watch a video which plays a set of sounds starting with a frequency of 500 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Students can put their hands up in the air until they can no longer hear the sound, you will need to turn the volume right up! Students are then told the audible range of humans compared to other animals like dolphins, hedgehogs and bats. The plenary activity requires students to complete a set of sentences, including outlining what they have learned today, what they already knew and what they would like to know more about. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year 8 Science course, specifically the P2 1.2 unit on ‘Energy. The lesson begins with an introduction to the law of the conservation of energy, students are told that energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be stored and transferred. Next, students are introduced to the five main energy stores, students are asked to match the correct names to the photos displayed. This task can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. Next, students are introduced to the ways in which energy can be transferred - via light waves, sound waves and electricity. They will be shown an energy transfer diagram, depicting the energy transfers which take place within a torch. Once students have seen the complete diagram, they will then have a go at completing it themselves, using the statements provided. This task can the be marked against the mark scheme provided. Students will then complete two further energy diagrams to display the energy transfers taking place within a candle and TV. The answers to this task are also included in the PowerPoint presentation so students can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided. Lastly, students will complete an investigation into the height a ball bounces back up to after it has been dropped from a height. Students will work in groups of three, following the instructions provided on the PowerPoint to complete the results table provided. Students will then need to answer a set of questions using the data they collected from the investigation. This can be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. The plenary task requires students to complete one of the sentence starters, to summarise what they have learned this lesson.
