Current Voltage and Resistance Explained Distance Learning and Homeschool for KS2
What are current, voltage and resistance and what is the relationship between them in an electrical circuit? What are the conditions necessary for current to flow in a circuit?
Look no further for a unique and engaging explanation of these concepts!
This action-packed distance or remote learning package introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver (the electron) using up energy obtained from food (the battery) and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (metal ions)(high resistance). The resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires is explained and a simulated practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
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. There is also a short digital test which can be returned to the teacher.
Objective
To know and explain :
that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery.
how metal ions cause resistance.
the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness.
why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.
the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

The teaching pack contains thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.

Elements are listed in the periodic table.
Each element has its own symbol.
Symbols can be the first letter of the name (capital), two letters from the name (capital then lowercase) or taken from the Latin name of the element.
The formula of a compound tells you how many atoms of each element are in it.
Working out the number of atoms of each element in a compound from its formula.
Naming compounds with the groups CO3, SO4, NO3.
Compounds containing only two atoms end in ide.
Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3.

The teaching pack contains thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.
The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning. It is enjoyable and suitable for all abilities in that it can be played by simply matching the pictures but presents a challenge for those who are able to match a picture with another which means the same.

Elements and Compounds Revision Lesson with Quiz KS3
Including atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, chemical symbols and formulae and naming compounds, this is a unique diagnostic tool to check understanding and produce a personal review sheet.
It can be used after the module has been taught or as a review lesson prior to testing.
What is Included
54 Question PowerPoint
Answers PowerPoint
Student answer sheet
Fact Sheet
Suggested Lesson Plan
Students have some time to review the fact sheet either independently or with teacher.
Students use the answer sheet to write down the answers to the questions on the Question PowerPoint
Students check their answers against the answer PowerPoint
On the fact sheets, students circle the numbers of the questions they got wrong on the answer sheet. This gives them a review list of facts to take away with them.

Elements and Compounds Dominoes KS3
80 dominoes with questions and answers on elements, compounds, atoms, molecules, formulae and naming compounds instead of numbers.
Prior Knowledge
Atoms combine to form molecules.
If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed but if they are from different elements, a molecule of a compound is formed.
An element contains only one type of atom.
A compound contains two or more different types of atom combined together chemically.
Each element has its own symbol.
Some symbols are the capitalized first letter of the name of the element .
Some symbols have two letters from the name with only the first capitalized.
Some symbols are taken from the Latin name of the element.
Know that a chemical formula tells you how many atoms of each element are in a compound.
Know that if there is no letter after a symbol in a formula, there is only one atom of that element in the compound.
Know that if a formula contains brackets, every element inside the bracket is multiplied by that number.
Know that compounds ending in ide contain only two elements.
Know that compounds containing CO3 are carbonates, SO4 are sulphates and NO3 are nitrates.
Know that mono is one, di is two and tri is three.
Be able to name and work out the number of atoms of each element in a compound without brackets in its formula.
What You Get
80 dominos
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

Elements and Compounds 48 Question Board Game KS3
With 48 question cards on atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, chemical symbols, formulae and naming compounds, this is an enjoyable and challenging board game for up to six players per set. It is suitable for all abilities.
Included in this Pack
Game board
48 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty
Teacher answer sheet
Instruction sheet.
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.
