Forces - Air Resistance KS3
This fully resourced lesson included an animated PowerPoint which:
makes understanding air resistance as collisions between the front of an object and air particles very easy to understand;
demonstrates why streamlined bodies reduce air resistance to travel faster;
provides a visual explanation of the relationship between acceleration due to gravity, sir resistance, steady speed and why parachutes work.
Understanding is reinforce by two simple but exciting practicals investigating :
The relationship between surface area of a parachute and air resistance
Do streamlined objects travel faster in water?

Light - Reflection & Refraction Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on reflection in plane mirrors and revraction. 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.

End of Year / Back to School Team Building Quiz KS3
A fantastic back to school or end of year activity which is ideal for welcoming students back from lockdown and starting to rebuild community. It is a team activity which can easily be undertaken by students while meeting the requirements of social distancing and there is a reminder to so at the beginning of each team round.
It is a 61 question, animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide range of general knowledge questions and tasks are included. As well as asking a question, a lot of slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:
geography
history
nature
science
music
astrology
astronomy
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
current affairs
Team Rounds
Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round.
Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying.
There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark.
Memory Test – questions on the order and detail of eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear.
Individual Rounds
Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged.
Memory Test – give coordinates of fish which have moved around a pond.
Finally, the fifteen - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes.
Full instructions are given on the PowerPoint itself.

The image formed in a plane mirror is upright, virtual (appears to be formed behind the mirror) laterally inverted, the same size as the object and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front.
Specular and diffuse images
The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light.

The PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional 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. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. There is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of the PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers.

Objective
To know that:
current is a flow of electrons;
metal ions cause resistance in a conductor;
electrons collide with the metal ions and loose energy which is converted to heat or light.
the more metal ions the higher the resistance;
collisions with metal ions reduce current;
the higher the resistance the lower the current.;
the comparative resistance of long/short and thick/thin wires
R = V/I
Be able to:
apply ohms law in simple calculations;
apply ohms law in calculations having deduced the values for V and I using prior knowledge of series and parallel circuits;
