A Powerpoint containing teaching slides, questions, activities and markschemes for self assessment. Any worksheets are also included. There is a know it - show it slide for objectives and outcomes. The lesson is planned based on Rosenshines Principles of Practice and is lesson 1 of my Electricity and Magnetism scheme of work. The other lessons are available to download :)

Planned using the Principles of Practice to ensure good implementation. Begins with a recall quiz (to promote pupil discussion). Quiz questions included. The following slides are animations to recall what happens in an electrical circuit (flow of electrons and energy). Lesson introduces the use of an ammeter to measure current and series and parallel circuits. Students are then asked to create specific circuits, some of which are series and some are parallel. Students record the ammeter reading and make a conclusion about current in series and

This resources was created using the Principles of Practice to ensure good implementation of the lesson. There is recall of series and parallel circuits and recall of the use of an ammeter. This lesson assumes current has been taught in th previous lesson. The starter is a worksheet where students calculate current. Answers are in the Ppt for self assessment. The voltmeter is introduced and its use explained by a model. Students then are asked to create specific circuits in series and parallel in order to investigate voltage. Clear instructions and worksheets are provided.

A complete lesson. The Powerpoint inlcudes an animation to teach the role of the cell/battery, bulb and electrons. There is a literacy activity which focuses on the use of key terms and students self assess against a model answer. Students also recall circuit componenents from KS2. All worksheets are

This is a complete lesson. The PowerPoint contains teaching slides, question slides, activities and markschemes for self assessment. There is a ‘Know it Show it’ slide to introduce objectives and outcomes. The lesson is planned around Rosenshine’s Principles of Practice. The lesson includes recall activities and focuses on the use of key scientific terms to promote literacy. The activities use co-operative learning strategies to engage all students in your lesson.

These are level descriptors I have written for the new GCSE levels 1-9. They cover planning, collecting and recording results and drawing graphs. You will find them very useful for developing assessments and levelling pupil's work.

The aim of this quiz was 'fun'. I made it to engage and motivate lower ability sets. I have used it as a plenary to assess progress at the end of the topic in Year 7 and as a starter to Year 9.

I produced this resource so that I could make my lesson on pressure more interesting. My aim was to link it to everyday situations. Pupils are challenged to explain how the shape of objects affects the pressure they exert.

Pupils love this lesson. The task is for them to design and make a boat out of tin foil and sellotape, then compete against each other to find out how much mass their boat will hold before sinking. To make it more engaing I've based it around a Pirates of the Carribean theme. The worksheet makes sure they evaluate their own design and the winning one.

I made this as an introduction to the Earth & Space topic with the aim of gaining pupils interest. 'Rule the World' by Take That should play in the background. The song matches the presenation perfectly. I have found that the pupils really enjoy watching it.

Use the Powerpoint to teach students how forces affect speed. If you have an interactive whiteboard, pupils can add the forces and arrows onto the images on the Powerpoint. The video clips are from animation factory. The worksheet assesses pupils understanding.

I designed this boardgame to assess pupils understanding at the end of the unit. Print out the boardgame template in colour and enlarge it onto A3 paper. Print the questions onto the back of the cartoon cards. You will need to buy dice and counters. When someone lands on a question mark, the person to the right picks up a card and reads out the question. If the pupil answers correctly, he/she can move the number of spaces given on the card.

I produced this set of resources to engage top set students in learning about moments. It focuses on calculations. The worksheets are also creative and pupils enjoy completing them.

IMPORTANT - the second slide following the objectives if the fun part. Click on each image to hear a sound - the pointer will change to a hand. Students have to 'guess' what is making the sound and write down their responses in the first section of the worksheet. To mark, if you then click anywhere on that slide (except the images) so that the pointer remains as an arrow, the answers will be revealed. Lower ability students really enjoy completing this worksheet. You can even have milk bottles to demonstrate how the pitch changes when they are filled to different levels with water.
