Both these action-packed lessons introduce current as a flow of electrons and explain 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 PowerPoints. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical (simulated for the distance learning pack) explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Click on the resource for more details on the content of each pack.

Each topic comes with an engaging, animated PowerPoint and eleven printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. Emphasis is placed on assessment for learning and detailed answers to questions are provided throughout, which makes self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic. Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts. What’s Covered Reflection Transparent, translucent and opaque materials Luminous and non-luminous objects Labelling the incident and reflected rays, the angles of incidence and reflection, the normal and the point of incidence Virtual experiment to prove i = r Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror 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. Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a periscope Specular and diffuse images Refraction The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. When light travels from a more dense medium to a less dense medium it is bent away from the normal. Light hitting a boundary at 900 is not refracted. Light is not refracted at a curved boundary. Complete ray diagrams showing refraction.

The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. The distance learning pack consists of a 90 - slide animated PowerPoint which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. 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. 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.

What’s Covered Each fully resourced lesson includes an animated PowerPoint which: demonstrates deformation as a material changing its shape when acted on buy a force; demonstrates stretching and compression; demonstrates an elastic material regaining its shape after deformation; demonstrates an elastic material failing to regain its shape after the elastic limit is exceeded; guides students through planning a virtual investigation of Hooke’s Law, designing a results table and drawing a conclusion; demonstrates that, for elastic materials within their elastic limit a graph of extension against force is a straight line and confirms Hooke’s Law.

Moment = force x distance from pivot. Examples of a force which is further from the pivot having a greater turning effect. Plan an investigation into moments on both sides of the pivot being equal at equilibrium. Explain and provides practice in the equation F1 x d1 = F2 x d2 Demonstrate the use of a seesaw to lift a larger load a smaller height. Introduce the wheelbarrow and tongs as levers.
