What happens to the current when the resistance in an electrical circuit increases? This fully resourced lesson comes with a PowerPoint which uses animations to demonstrate current as a flow of electrons, metal ions as the cause of resistance and conductors having high and low resistance, then guides the student through planning an investigation to discover what happens to the current when the resistance is increased. If the apparatus is not available for a lab, a set of results is provided for students to use to draw a conclusion. What’s Covered Resistance is the result of electrons colliding with the metal ions in a conductor. Resistance increases with the number of metal ions such as in a longer wire. Plan experiment to investigate the relationship between resistance and current by adding lamps to a circuit and predict the outcome. Draw up a results table. Draw a bar graph of the results of the experiment.

Finish and reinforce a module of work on magnets or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. 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. Explain how an electric bell, a circuit breaker and a relay work Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school exam paper store in which the school nurse has been accidentally locked. The pack contains: PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); crossword; word search; dominoes activity; worksheet; code breaker sheet; answer keys; lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes.

This action-packed, differentiated, lesson on the structure of plant and animal cells is fully resourced with 12 activities and 14 learning outcomes. Pupils learn to label and know the functions of the nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, cell wall, chloroplasts and vacuole. It explains that differences between plant and animal cells stem from the lack of a skeleton in plant so that the cells must provide support and that plants, anchored into the ground and unable to move to hunt, must make their own food. Easy to follow instructions are given on PowerPoint and worksheets so that the lesson practically runs itself. Activities include literacy, group work, peer assessment, self-assessment, pupil response to assessment and feedback to teacher on pupil learning via an exit ticket quiz. This pack contains material for two hours lesson time in total to enable the teacher to select resources to totally bespoke their lesson according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Any unused resources can be utilized as additional homework or pre-examination revision.
