This resource is made up of a trifold brochure with many energy related questions. Give students the question brochure, tube map and “sites and station” leaflet. As a virtual tourist to London the students aim to visit as many attractions as they can. They choose a station to start at and a site that they wish to visit. For each station along the way they answer the corresponding energy related question.

100 quiz cards/flash cards, Board Game, Change of State, Conduction, Convection, Mixtures etc

(0)
A revision resource that can either be used as a game (played exactly as you would snakes and ladders, except before moving a quiz card has to be answered), or the cards can be used by themselves as a revision aid. The resource includes about 100 cards on thermal transfer, alternating current, change of state (SEN) and one on mixtures. Please consider buying this in a bundle that will include many other other resources for very little extra outlay.

Work Done and Energy Transferred - 16 Differentiated questions and answers

Work Done and Energy Transferred - 16 Differentiated questions and answers

(1)
The resource focuses on understanding how to calculate energy transferred/work done. (I have included an example completed by one of my students for ease of reference). Included are 2 versions, one where students are given the answers and have to show their calculations, the other where they have to work out the answers for themselves. Personally I find that giving them the answers helps them to unpick their own mistakes rather than being told where they went wrong. The resource is designed to develop these problem solving skills through math. Differentiated questions - Q1 - 4 and Q9-12 are suitable for middle/low attainers. The activity is best done after a teacher explanation, or with suitable textbooks. Running time is approximately 40mins to an hour.
