Preparation Photocopy Board onto A3 paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included). Photocopy question sheets onto paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included) and cut into question cards. How to Play Highest score of dice starts Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares. Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces. If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces. In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet. Prior Knowledge Required Magnetic materials can be made into magnets. Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials. Unlike poles attract and like pole repel. There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines. Draw the field lines around a bar magnet. The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field. Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing. There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest. The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases. Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet. When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction. The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.

The A to Z of an enquiry. This is a fully differentiated and resourced enquiry/investigation into how the surface affects the amount of friction. It is suitable for UK levels 3 to 5 and some elements will start more able pupils thinking about some aspects of level 6 work. It consists of a 27 - slide slideshow and systematically takes the pupils through the stages of planning, developing and reflecting. The whole slideshow contains enough material for 3 to 4, one hour lessons depending on ability. The whole slideshow need not be covered and has been designed so that it is easy to select any sections that are required. It has also been designed so that there are challenging questions for more able pupils but clicking to the next slide provides support for those who need it. Many of the slides are animated. The resource has been designed to be sufficiently versatile so as to be suitable as not only as an introduction to enquiry/investigation at secondary level but also for those pupils starting upon the transition from level 5 to level 6.

The lessons are easy to follow, enjoyable and easy to teach. Apparatus needed per group is a newtonmeter and a 1Kg mass. I suggest you have an idea of the 5 surfaces to be used in advance and have a selection of different size newtonmeters available. I use the lab floor, the bench, the carpet in the corridor, a wooden dissection board and a Perspex safety screen. Groups of 3 or 4 are ideal. Content Definitions of independent, dependent and control variable, fair test and reliability. The problem posed is “Does surface affect the amount of friction”. Planning the enquiry with a worksheet to accompany which includes peer assessment and pupil response to assessment. Identification of variables Writing a prediction Writing success criteria Designing a table What is an anomalous result and how to recognise it. Improvements Selection of the correct type of graph How to draw the perfect bar graph (animated) Reliability and bias Reflecting on success criteria and learning strategies.

This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Objective To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery. To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance. To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness. To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor. To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the relationship between mass and weight. What’s Covered All objects attract each other and that the attraction force depends on the size of the object. The attraction force of planets is called gravity which acts towards the centre. Gravity hold Earth’s atmosphere in place. Mass is the amount of material in a body, is measured in kilograms (Kg) and is independant of position. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on a mass. Units for gravitational field strength are N/Kg. Applying W = m x g to calculate weight of a body on Earth, the Moon and Jupiter.

Pupils learn that, while a parallel circuit has branches, a series circuit does not. By experiment, they will learn that all the lamps in a series circuit are equally bright as indeed they are in a parallel circuit but that identical lamps are brighter when connected in parallel than in series. Lastly, they will show experimentally that lamps in parallel remain on when one is removed but go out when one is removed from a series circuit. Objective To know that as lamps are added in a series circuit the lamps become dimmer. To know that as identical lamps are added in a parallel circuit the brightness of the lamps does not change. To know that if the lamps in a series circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness. To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out. To know that if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.
