A gcse lesson on refractive index including completing the calculation using snells law, all resources needed included in the powerpoint

a lesson that uses arduinos as data loggers for the light gate speed experiment a fun g and t activity or science club, all resources needed included, including text version of the code needed for the arduino, technicians notes for how to calibrate and lesson with worksheets. Arduinos plus LDR's are significantly cheaper than data loggers and more fun.

an end of term activity based on the science of lighthouses - pupils need to build a circuit to light the lighthouses, and then complete some other challenges - all resources needed are included in the powerpoint - i built the lighthouses from lego - build instructions included, and got pupils to choose where they would put them as well - you could build the lighthouses with other resources though

A formtime reading challenge, with a simple introductory challenge and survey to see the pupils reading habits before they start the challenge, I then set my pupils a target for the end of the year of numbers of books for them to have read as a class and gave them all a reading achievement sheet that they will be using to gain extra rewards for, this can be followed up with a weekly reading session during form time

An investigation where pupils see what parts of a body would survive being immersed in acid the experiment can include putting plastic, calcium (labelled bone), meat (i used mince) and zinc (fillings). There are 2 levels of response sheet to go with the experiment could be for a science club or as part of a lesson

An 8 week homework project for science, encompassing a range of tasks, from watching a science video and reviewing it to producing a revision card on a subject they have been studying. Can fit any year group and covers a range of subjects, vould be adapted for any other subect in school too, pupils hand in work as they complete it, so is easily tracked and activiely engages them in work, i tried this at my school and got significantly more homework handed in and some really creative pieces of work completed

a lesson that looks at forces through the use of movie special effects, to show how science is applied in real life. Pupils start with a demonstration of sugar glass (how to make instructions and video and video of it breaking included) they then go on to look at and label the forces involved in a fight (hence the judo) and finally apply there forces knowledge to storyboarding an action scene for a movie. It is fully differentiated for all pupils and comes with help labels for lower ability pupils.

a basic lesson on recapping refraction and reflection and discussing total internal reflection and fibre optics, designed for entry level science

A set of resources where pupils build a lego sleigh and reindeer and have to strap santa and his presents to it (santa is a christmas jelly baby) i will use paper and some blocks to be presents and offer elastic bands and string for harnesses. All lego instructions are included i bought all the lego at the lego store but it could be done with christmas decorations as easily. They will then harness the reindeer (the harness must pull 1kg) and test their fully loaded sled in a wind tunnel (basically a cardboard box and a hair dryer) to ensure that santa can survive. A north pole U certificate is included for pupils who successfully complete the challenges

A set of physics objectives for a number of the OCR entry level science modules. These are designed as a pupil assessment sheet to be stuck in at the start of a module and reviewed half way and at the end of a topic. There is also a small self assessment section where they can record there test result and do a what went well and how they can improve.
