This bundle is a complete topic pack containing all powerpoints, student worksheets, challenge tasks, plenary activities, and answer sheets for the KS3 Physics topic “Forces”. It also contains many specially selected student-led activities on the powerpoints (particularly designed to make teaching the concepts of forces, fields, resultant forces, and weight, easier, more fun and student-led). There are also self-completing slides where answers can be clicked and move into the correct place (great for distance learning students and cover lessons). This bundle contains the following lessons: Forces Drawing Force Diagrams Hooke’s Law Drag and Friction Fields Calculating Weight Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Lesson objectives/outcomes: Lesson 1 – Forces Students should be able to: • Explain what forces are • Compare different types of forces • Describe how to measure forces and give the unit of force Lesson 2 – Drawing Force Diagrams Students should be able to: • Describe how forces are represented • Identify the direction a force acts on an object • Draw and/or label force arrows on diagrams for simple example Lesson 3 – Hooke’s Law Students should be able to: • Describe how forces deform objects • Describe how solid surfaces provide a support force • Investigate and use Hooke’s Law • Take accurate measurements • Plot a graph • Draw a line of best fit on a graph Lesson 4 – Drag and Friction Students should be able to: • Describe the effect of drag forces and friction • Explain how drag forces and friction arise • Describe how drag forces and friction can be reduced • Measure force using a newton meter • Record data in an appropriate table • use my observations to make a conclusion Lesson 5 – Fields Students should be able to: • Describe what a “field” is • Describe the effects of fields Lesson 6 – Calculating Weight Students should be able to: • Describe the difference between weight and mass • Calculate the weight of an object • Explain why weight is different on different planets • Convert units • Calculate values using a calculator Lesson 7 – Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Students should be able to: • Describe the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces • Explain why objects are in equilibrium • Explain the changing motion of objects • Calculate resultant forces in one dimension

This bundle contains all the lessons you need to cover the KS3 English National Curriculum on Space. These lessons are designed to be easy to teach (especially for non-specialists), interactive, student-led, and AfL filled/driven. These lessons contain video links, various online simulations for students to use to aid their understanding and sense of wonder, PDF worksheets, complete PDF answer sheets, answers to all powerpoint questions (either incorperated into the powerpoint slides or in the notes sections), teacher delivery notes/tips in the “notes” sections of the powerpoints, stretch and challenge tasks for higher ability students throughout each lesson, various AfL tasks (e.g. finger voting/mini-whiteboards/true-false quizzes), and plenary tasks for each lesson. This bundle contains the following lessons: The Night Sky The Solar System Formation of the Solar System Why we get Seasons Phases of the Moon Eclipses

This bundle is the complete lesson resources needed to teach core “Working Scientifically” skills to KS3 students, following the UK national curriculum. These lessons are interactive, engaging, student-led and focused. This topic contains careers links, reading opportunities and AFL strategies throughout (including mini-whiteboards and finger voting) to help you know how your students are doing. All questions, worksheets and tasks come with complete answers. Lessons included: Accuracy, Precision and Hypotheses Writing risk assessments Choosing graphs and Drawing Pie Charts Calculating Means, Medians and Modes Reading and Analysing Graphs Communicating Scientific Information Bias, Evidence and Peer-reviewing
