Students 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 substitute teacher has been accidentally locked in the stationery store. The pack contains: PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); crossword; word search; dominoes activity; worksheet; code breaker sheet; answers; 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. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online or the teacher can pretend to phone the school office for the staff to attempt to release the teacher.

Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a periscope Specular and diffuse reflection What You Get 90 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. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

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. Design an experiment and results table to investigate refraction through a semi - circular glass block Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth.

This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on lenses including the eye, the pinhole camera and the camera. 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.

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 More high quality resources available here.

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”. Planning the enquiry with a worksheet to accompany which includes peer assessment and pupil response to assessment. Identification of variables Writing a prediction Writing success criteria Designing a table What is an anomalous result and how to recognise it. Improvements Selection of the correct type of graph How to draw the perfect bar graph (animated) Reliability and bias Reflecting on success criteria and learning strategies.

This is a challenging, engaging and enjoyable boardgame, for up to six pupils per set, with 54 question cards on the basics of current electricity including: • understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance; • conductors and insulators; • circuit symbol; • circuits diagrams; • units and measurement of current and voltage; • current and voltage in series and parallel circuits; • lamps in series and parallel. • current and voltage vary with number of batteries. • relationship between resistance and current. Included in this Pack • Game board • 54 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty • Teacher answer sheet • Instruction sheet. Resources are in colour and greyscale How to Play • Highest dice throw starts • Pupils take turns, following instructions in the squares. • Certain squares instruct the pupil to take a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces. • If a player thinks an opponent’s answer 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 teacher has a quick-check answer sheet. Prior Knowledge Required • Symbols for switch, resistor, battery, voltmeter, ammeter, motor, buzzer and recognise series and parallel circuits. • Metals and non-metals as conductors and insulators. • Current is a flow of electrons and metal ions cause resistance. • Batteries contain chemicals and provide the push or voltage to current. • Voltage is the difference in energy level between two points in a circuit. • Comparative resistance of long/short, thin/thick wires. • Insulators have high resistances and the resistance of all conductors is comparatively lower. • Comparative brightness of identical lamps in series and parallel and the effect of removing a lamp. • Ammeters are used in series and voltmeters in parallel. • Current is measured in amps and voltage in volts. • Current and voltage in series and parallel circuits. • Current and voltage vary with number of batteries. • Metal ions causing high and low resistance conductors. • Relationship between resistance and current.
