This is an action-packed distance learning or home school introduction to lenses including the eye, the pinhole camera and the camera.
This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable, fact sheets and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress.
What’s Covered
Ray diagrams showing refraction in a concave and convex lens.
Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses, telescopes and spectacles to correct long sight.
Concave lenses are used in lasers, flashlights, peepholes and spectacles to correct short sight.
Label the following structures on a diagram of the eye; retina; ciliary muscle; iris; pupil; lens; suspensory ligament; optic nerve.
Draw ray diagrams and explain how the eye sees distant and close objects.
Draw ray diagrams and explain how lenses are used to correct long and short sight.
Draw diagrams and explain how the iris controls the size of the pupil and therefore the amount of light which enters the eye.
Draw a ray diagram of the pinhole camera, know that the image is inverted sand diminished, moving the object closer enlarges the image and multiple pinholes produce multiple images

Light - Dispersion, White Light & Colour Filters - Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on white light, dispersion and color filters for middle school. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
Included in this Pack.
42 question and answer cards
Teacher’s answer sheet.
Instruction sheet
Preparation
Use double-sided printing to copy 1 set per group of 4 pupils.
Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use.
Cut sheets into cards.
Prior Knowledge Required
The order of the seven colours of the spectrum
Dispersion is the separation of white light into the seven different colors of the spectrum.
During dispersion, red light is refracted the least and violet light the most.
Dispersion is caused by the fact that each colour of light travels at a different speed in glass.
Red, green and blue are primary light colors.
Magenta, cyan and yellow are secondary light colors.
Mixing two primary light colours gives a secondary light color.
Mixing the three primary light colors gives white light.
An object only reflects light the same color as itself and absorbs all the others
Work out the color an object appears in different light color

KS3 Forces Enquiry/Investigation
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. It is full of tips on how to tackle the various parts of an enquiry which pupils will find beneficial for those enquiries they tackle in the future and for coping with enquiry-type questions in examinations.
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”.

Lesson structure
With the question version of the quiz on the interactive whiteboard, pupils write their answers on their recording sheet. This quiz has a built-in timer for each question but the teacher has control of movement between slides to move from question to question.
The answer version of the quiz is then put on the IWB and pupils mark their answers. This version also shows the questions so it is easy for the teacher to go through any explanations necessary.
The facts on the fact sheet are mapped to the question numbers in the quiz. Pupils now match and colour on the fact sheet, the numbers of the questions they had wrong on the pupil recording sheet. They then have, to take away with them, a clear and permanent record of facts to be learned.
Pupils then tackle the worksheet which is differentiated over two versions.
Finally pupils use the answer/mark scheme PowerPoint to either self-assess or peer assess their answers to the worksheet.

Current Electricity KS3 - Save the Technician Escape Room
Finish and reinforce the KS3 current electricity module or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Prior knowledge required:
• current, voltage and resistance – defining and understanding, units, measuring;
• circuits and symbols;
• series and parallel circuits – current, voltage, switches, lamps;
• current and voltage varying with number of batteries;
• Ohms Law.
Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a box with a combination lock containing an antidote to a substance, accidentally ingested by the laboratory. The substance is the departments a prototype, orally administered sunscreen being developed by the department which has unfortunately been found to turn the skin of mice purple and which has not yet been tested on humans and is also therefore potentially toxic.
The pack contains:
• PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer);
• crossword;
• word search;
• dominoes activity;
• worksheet Differentiated over 2 versions);
• code breaker sheet;
• answer keys;
• lesson plan.
If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. With a minimum of 50 minutes available one of the differentiated worksheets can also be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes.
Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online if using an actual box containing an unopened bottle of a soft drink, with the label removed, for a member of the winning team to take to the technician. In the absence of a locked box, until the code is found, as each group completes a team member can be dispatched to the prep room for the technician to ”try the code”. Alternatively all the combination locks in the science department had been set to the same combination for an escape room lesson including the one used on the box with the antidote in the prep room. The combination has been lost but if the class can open the one in front of them it will open the one on the antidote!

Air Resistance and Friction Explained KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the causes and effects of air resistance and friction with animated PowerPoints which:
demonstrate air resistance as resulting from collisions between the front of an object and air particles;
demonstrate how friction is caused by collisions between “bumps” in sliding surfaces and slows them down and produces heat;
demonstrate why streamlined bodies reduce air resistance to travel faster;
provide a visual explanation of the relationship between acceleration due to gravity, sir resistance, steady speed and why parachutes work.
The three practicals investigate:
the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface.
the relationship between surface area of a parachute and air resistance
do streamlined objects travel faster in water?
What’s Covered
Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N).
Friction increases with the roughness of the surface.
Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other.
Collisions slow things down and produce heat.
How lubricants reduce friction
Air resistance results from collisions between the front of an object and air particles.
Steady speed.
Air resistance wastes energy and slows moving objects

Force, Weight & Mass KS3
A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to forces and an explanation of the relationship between mass and weight.
What’s Covered
Force is a pull or a push with examples.
Arrows indicate the direction of force.
Contact and non-contact forces explained and examples
Forces can change an objects speed, direction or shape
The Newton and newtonmeter.
Real-life examples of forces.
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 independent 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.
Practical
The first simple practical gives pupils experience in reading scales as they find the weight of their pencil case and other items provided by the teacher. (selection of different objects and different size newtonmeters needed)
The second practical introduces an element of fun and competition by using a bathroom scales calibrated in Newtons (an ordinary bathroom scales can be used but multiply the reading in kilograms by 10) to find the person with the strongest grip in the class (photograph of how to do this shown on the PowerPoint)

Magnetism - Magnets and Electromagnets Explained - Distance Learning and Homeschool for KS3
This is an action-packed distance learning or home school introduction to magnetism.
This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress.
The simulated practical takes the student through designing an investigation, a table and drawing a graph.
What’s Covered
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.
Explain how an electric bell, a relay and a circuit breaker work.
Resources
An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by:
explaining how to use distance learning effectively;
