It promotes the concepts of both working as a team and contributing individually to the success of a team. As it starts, the rules for answering each round are clearly explained. One purchaser of a similar quiz commented “it helped to build community in my classes”. All questions types 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: Christmas trivia geography history nature science music astrology astronomy flags of the world famous people famous landmarks current affairs Team Rounds Christmas Trivia – Three questions per 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. Sayings - solve the clues to identify well - known phrases or sayings. Conveyor – A memory test. Questions on 11 items which pass across the screen. Fish – A memory test. Question on the positions of fish in a pond before and after they move. Lightning Round – Identify slowly revealed landmarks or people against time penalties. Individual Rounds Unscramble – identify the items in pictures which has been cut up and rearranged. Spelling – Identify slowly revealed words against time penalties. Bonus round – General knowledge 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.

This is an action-packed distance learning or home school, fully resourced lesson on the properties of metals and non - metals for middle school . This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The PowerPoint is easy to follow and starts by telling the student the most effective way to use it. Each section of theory is supported by guided notes and the student receives clear instructions as to which questions to answer. Answers are provides before the student does on to the next section of the topic. The PowerPoint ends with a self-test quiz. 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. What’s Covered Metals are conductors of electricity and heat while non - metals are insulators. Metals are strong (have high tensile strength) but non - metals are not. Metals are shiny when freshly cut or polished but non -metals are dull. Metals are sonorous (make a ringing noise when struck while non – metals do not. Metals are malleable (can be beaten into shape) and ductile (can be drawn into wires) but non – metals are neither and are brittle (shatter when struck. Iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic but all non – metals are not magnetic. Metals are heavy which means they have a high have a high density because they contain a lot of particles. Non – metals are not heavy. Metals are all solids at room temperature, except for mercury which is a liquid, as they have high boiling and melting points. Of seventeen non - metals, all are gases except for five which are solids and one which is a liquid. Both metals are non – metals burn in oxygen to form the oxide.

Finish and reinforce a middle school lesson on the properties of metals and non – metals or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where a squirrel, who was found injured on the school campus, has been accidentally locked in its pet carrier while awaiting transportation to the vet for urgent medical treatment. The combination lock used is one of two bought by the school – one for the stock room and the other for a new escape room lesson being planned by the science department. Both are set to the same combination. The paper on which the combination was written for the escape room lesson has been lost but the department still has copies of the lesson.

This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains 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 PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Objective To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery. To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance. To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness. To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor. To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the relationship between mass and weight. What’s Covered All objects attract each other and that the attraction force depends on the size of the object. The attraction force of planets is called gravity which acts towards the centre. Gravity hold Earth’s atmosphere in place. Mass is the amount of material in a body, is measured in kilograms (Kg) and is independant of position. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on a mass. Units for gravitational field strength are N/Kg. Applying W = m x g to calculate weight of a body on Earth, the Moon and Jupiter.

A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, the periodic table, chemical symbols, formulae and naming compounds. What’s Covered All atoms of one element are the same but are different from the atoms of other elements. Atoms combine to form molecules. If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed. If combining atoms are from different element, 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. 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.
