World Cup Space Race!

(1)
Designed for my school's &'activities week&';. Students should get into groups of 5 or so, and be given a space agency from a country participating in this years world cup. Students need to build a 'lander&' for their country that will allow an egg to survive &';re entry', as well as produce a poster/presentation on the history/achievements of their countries space agency. Students should spend around 1 hour to 1.5 hours on this, including testing time for the lander
Making a Resistor

Making a Resistor

(7)
A practical I do with my year 9 group (but could be adapted for GCSE). We make a basic variable resistor by shading in an area on grid paper using graphite pencils. Then see how resistance is affected with length. I originally got the idea from a video clip I saw on YouTube, the link is attached here. You will need to have digital multimeters to do this, that have a setting to measure resistance. NB: I'm a recently qualified teacher, so constructive comments on my resources and how they can be improved are really welcome! So please leave a comment if you used them! Thanks!
