Acids Bases and Indicators Explained - Fully Resourced Lesson KS3
This fully resourced lesson on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale) for middle school includes an animated PowerPoint which:
identifies an acid as a substance which contains hydrogen, tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and has a pH between 0 and 6;
identifies a base as a substance which is the oxide or hydroxide of a metal, feels soapy, turns red litmus blue and has a pH between 8 and 14;
states that that hydroxides are soluble bases;
states that neutral substances are neither acidic nor alkaline;
states that for neutral substances, red litmus stays red and blue litmus stays blue;
states that the pH of strong acids (0 – 2), weak acids (3 – 6), neutral substances (7), weak bases (8 – 11) and strong bases (12 – 14);
explains concentrated and dilute in terms of solute and solvent particles;
states that concentrated acids and bases are corrosive;

Forces - Weight and Mass Explained - Distance Learning and Homeschool for KS3
This is an action-packed distance learning or home school explanation of the relationship between mass and weight.
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.
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 independent 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.

Anaerobic respiration creates oxygen debt which must be cleared using oxygen and is why breathing rate does not return to normal immediately vigorous activity ceases.
Yeast is a unicellular fungus that undergoes fermentation.
Word equations for aerobic respiration and fermentation.
Conditions necessary for fermentation.

A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the cause and effects of friction with a practical investigating the relationship between the force needed to move a shoe over different types of surface. Examples of useful friction in terms of grip and non-useful friction in terms of decreased speed and heat production are considered.
What’s Covered
Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N).
Friction increases with the roughness of the surface.
Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other.
Collisions slow things down and produce heat.
How lubricants reduce friction

Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources
This pack contains fifteen 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.
All resources shown in these bundle are also available individually
Forces Module 1 - Force, Weight & Mass, Friction, Balanced & Unba
Forces Module 2 - Moments, Speed, Pressure & Hooke’s Law
The Complete Forces Module ( Module 2 + Module 2)
7 Game Compendium for Module 1
6 Game Compendium for Module 2
