This fun, creative and easy to use resource provides a great framework for an introductory lesson on the changes of state. The starter tests prior knowledge about the properties of solids, liquids and gases, and the particle model of matter. The lesson introduces a series of key terms, a graph drawing activity as well as an opportunity for students to complete a piece of extended writing or story board.

The key objective behind this scheme of work is to enable students to draw, interpret and use graphs of motion to analyse the motion of objects. The learning outcomes include: Speed, distance and time Distinguish between (i) distance and displacement and (ii) speed and velocity 2, Give the SI units for distance, displacement, speed and velocity. Define (average) speed as: speed = distance travelled / time taken Solve problems using this equation using correct units. Recognise that (instantaneous) velocity of an object is its (instantaneous) speed in a stated direction. Draw and interpret distance vs time graphs: relating the speed of an object to the gradient of the line (for objects moving quickly, slowly, speeding up, slowing down or stationary) find the speed by calculating the gradient of the graph recognise a negative gradient as motion backwards Acceleration Define acceleration Solve problems for accelerating objects speeding up or slowing down using the equation for acceleration and correct units. Draw and interpret velocity vs time graphs: Relating the gradient of the line to the acceleration of the object Calculating the acceleration from the gradient Relate the acceleration of an object to the application of a (net) force

The key objective behind this scheme of work is to enable students to describe, in words and using mathematics, the essential features of sound and light waves and their propagation. The learning outcomes are detailed below: Features of Waves Describe a progressive wave. Distinguish between transverse and longitudinal waves (with reference to the direction of oscillation of the particles). Give examples of transverse and longitudinal waves. Define the following terms and identify them on diagrams (for transverse waves only): wavelength, amplitude, particle displacement Define the period and frequency of a wave, finding one given the other. Use the wave equation to explore the relationship between the speed of a wave, frequency and wavelength: v=fλ Sound waves Interpret traces of sound waves (made by a CRO, for example) Relate the properties of a sound wave to the pitch, volume and timbre of a sound. Outline and evaluate an experiment to measure the speed of sound in air. Electromagnetic Waves Distinguish between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. Outline differences and similarities between sound and light waves. List the components of the electromagnetic spectrum in order of frequency and wavelength. Identify the components of the electromagnetic spectrum that are ionising and discuss their dangers. Give uses for each component of the electromagnetic spectrum (including the use of electromagnetic waves for communication and for medical imaging). Identify that when a wave strikes a surface or change in medium, there will be reflection, transmission and absorption.

This resource introduces the speed, distance, time equation, distance-time graphs and speed-time graphs. It includes a series of questions for students to answer and graphs for students to draw. It also introduces how average speed is calculated and plotted on a graph.

This resource introduces the three types of chromatography: paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and gas chromatography. It compares the stationary phases (does not move) and mobile phases (does move) of these three types of chromatography. It also explains how to calculate Rf values and how colourless substances can be located on a thin-layer or paper chromatogram.

This resource explains the difference between pure and impure substances, challenges students to compare graphs of pure and impure substances, and explains what is happening at a particle level during heating. Students then complete a simple practical where they measure the temperature of a substance as they heat it and then use a graph of their results to conclude whether or not the substance was pure or impure.

This resource introduces relative atomic mass and relative formula mass, as well as the law of conservation of mass.

This resource helps students draw conclusions about the number of electrons and electron shells in atoms as you go down groups and across periods of the periodic table.

This resource introduces standard form, what it is and why it is useful. It includes a useful link to an animation on the topic, and questions with answers to give students practice on writing numbers in standard form.

This resource introduces the water cycle, the key terms relating to the water cycle, and how polluted water effects the water cycle. The resource includes activities for the students to complete, for example students describe the journey of a water molecule from a river high in the mountains, through the atmosphere and eventually back to the starting point. The resource also includes an experiment that students could complete to investigating the effect of pollution (acid rain) on seed germination.

This resource covers pyramids of biomass and calculating the efficiency of biomass transfer. It explains how pyramids of biomass are draw, why biomass decreases at each topic level, and the equation for calculating the efficiency of biomass transfer.

This resources covers the structure and function of the kidney. It includes information about ultrafiltration and selective reabsorption, a series of activities for students to complete, useful diagrams and links to animations on the topic. It also covers how the volume of urine produced is controlled through negative feedback.

This resource covers the control of blood sugar and what happens if you are unable to produce enough insulin. It includes useful links to animations on blood glucose control and questions for students to answer.

This resource introduces thermoregulation and the actions or behaviours that increase or decrease heat loss. The resource includes a quick quiz and activity intstructing students to produce an A4 summary diagram explaining thermoregulation in humans.

This resource introduces osmosis, and how plant and animal cells are effected by hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions.

This resource introduces the menstrual cycle and the main hormones involved in regulating the cycle. It includes a fun snakes-and-ladders game to help students learn more about what happens at each stage of the cycle and encourages students to create their own summary resource.
