(0)
This is a worksheet designed for an assessment of students' practical skills at Key Stage 3. With four separate stations available, students are tested on their ability to: * Measure lengths and calculate volumes of cuboids * Measure liquid volume and choose from a range of instruments which is the best for a particular length measurement * Measure periodic time * Design experiments with and without stimuli.
Space research worksheet
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Space research worksheet

(0)
Designed for students in Key Stage 3 this worksheet includes five specific questions for students to answer (either as research or from content learned in lessons) on the Big Bang theory, satellites and telescopes. The second half of this sheet is a research task where students (either individually or in groups) should investigate two of the five named telescopes.
Energy Types and Resources
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Energy Types and Resources

(0)
This presentation is designed to be a brief introduction to the topic of Energy for Key Stage 3 pupils. It includes a discussion on the types of energy, where they come from and the different resources.
Worksheets on Measurements
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Worksheets on Measurements

(1)
Short worksheets of questions designed to test knowledge of how measurements are taken in Physics e.g. volume, time, length. These can be used for Key Stages 2 or 3.
Measuring Mass
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Measuring Mass

(0)
Designed for students in Key Stage 3, it could also be used with older primary students. The presentation includes information on the units used to measure mass, converting between these units and the instruments used.

Space revision hexagons
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Space revision hexagons

(0)
This resource includes hexagons for Earth and Space topics including the Big Bang theory, seasons, day and night, development of our understanding of the solar system, satellites, telescopes and blank hexagons which students and/or teachers can add their own ideas. These hexagons make a great end of topic revision exercise, allowing students to organise their learning, spotting links between concepts and discussing their ideas. This can be done as an individual or group exercise (I tend to use small groups, laminate the hexagons and simply ask students to sort the cards).
Solar System Fact Sheet
gemmacraig5gemmacraig5

Solar System Fact Sheet

(2)
This resource contains a table (teacher version and cloze exercise) with facts about planets in our solar system. Students can either research the missing information or a teacher-led discussion could help to complete the answers. Additional uses for this resource could be the basis of a larger research project or investigation, a comparison between planets or a method of discovering patterns in the planet properties. A further use could be to incorporate this table as part of a data analysis task. Due to the wide range of uses this worksheet could be used for all Years in Key Stage 3.
