This activity contains a powerpoint with graded questions & answers and matching pupil activity sheets, designed to be used at the end of a lesson and/or the start of the next lesson to review previous learning. The questions are based on the previous OCR 21st Century Science Specification unit P4, although could be used with other exam boards. Clicking through the show reveals answers one a time. These reduce to A5 easily, the ideal size for most pupils. Please note grades are approximate.

These sort cards can be used as a starter or starting point for the topic of the EM spectrum and again as a review/ plenary. They can also be used to help revise the sequence of the EM spectrum. This activity goes well with the EM grid activity. This resource is part of a sequence with the following three other resources: This resource EM spectrum sort cards https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-6341302 IR remote control https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12952897 UV Washing powder https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12952892

Keywords: digital, analogue, encode, decode. Notes: This activity helps learners compare how a simple string telephone works against a more complex digital system. Get the students to make string telephones using paper/plastic cups and lengths of string before attempting to complete the sheet. This helps explain an abstract idea by building up from a very hands on simple (more concrete) example. It really engages learners of all abilities. There is an activity sheet and a guidance sheet with answers. This was originally designed for OCR 21st Century Science unit P2

This is a small collection of key words related to data handling. They are designed as a display tool. Remember if laminating to use matt laminates for wall displays to avoid reflection problems. Key words: range, mean, true value, average, real difference.

This resource is a collection of 6 slightly different see-saw balances that can be used with learners to help them develop the skills to weigh up an argument. The idea is that students will list reasons on both side of an argument (e.g. Should we have Nuclear Power?). They then use this to help make a decision. The scoring column on some sheets allows learners to score each argument out of a maximum of say 3. Add the scores on each side to see which has the stronger argument. This also includes phrases to support a more detailed conclusion. This was inspired by 21st Century Science.

These are a sequence of powerpoint shows designed as an instant engagement task (rolling on screen as learners enter the room for immediate engagement with learning). Learners write down the prefix that represents the power of ten multiplier. They are essentially the same task (with rearranged slides) but get progressively more demanding (as the changeover of slide gets faster) as the numbers in brackets increase. Start the students with (1) and then as they get faster, use the more demanding versions.

These are a sequence of PowerPoint slideshows designed to support the retrieval of the composition of particles in the standard model. They can be used as an instant engagement task (rolling on screen as students enter the room for immediate engagement with learning). They can also be used as a retrieval quiz. The slideshows are essentially the same task (with rearranged slides) but get progressively more demanding as the changeover of slide gets faster (as the numbers on the titles of the slideshows in brackets increase). Start the students with (1) and then as they get faster, use the more demanding versions. This resource goes well with the particle flashcards also available on TES Resources at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-6341199

This resource is a short powerpoint show and a pdf of the first slide. The idea is that learners read the URLs for a series of websites and decide whether they are trustworthy. They could put them into one of say three categories (e.g. High, Medium. Low).This is great for stimulating debate amongst learners, especially if the task is completed as a group. It is very effective when learners are asked to explain their reasoning. The powerpoint show can then be used to develop understanding further.

This is a video aimed at pupils in KS3/4 that shows an experiment of a rubber band being stretched. The stretching happens when masses are added to the end of the band. There is an introduction the experiment, which aims to help pupils understand the most important ideas. After each mass is added the rubber band, the video zooms in on the scale to allow pupils to read this. This can form the basis of a graphing activity to find the relationship between the masses added and the extension of the rubber band. Unlike the linear relationship of the spring, there are some differences in the way the band extends, particularly towards the start and end of the experiment. There is a PowerPoint slideshow to help focus the activity if used in a classroom. This resource forms part of a sequence with two other resources: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/experiment-measuring-the-weight-of-masses-12952546 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/experiment-stretching-a-metal-spring-12952559 This resource

This video is aimed at pupils at KS3/4. It shows a video of an experiment where 100g masses are put onto a forcemeter, calibrated in newtons. It allows the measurement of the force for each mass. There are questions to focus pupils on the relationship between the masses and the weight. It can be used as a graphing exercise to calculate the value of the constant ‘g’.
