NEW KS3
Work, energy and machines - based on Activate P2.8
This lesson includes resources adapted from other sources
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson where students calculate work done, there is a whole class AfL activity followed by a period where students answer questions - you may need to provide additional extension questions for your class. There is then a simple discussion of levers and gears and how they make work easier.
SS1 - differentiated work done calculations
SS2 - simple machines - how do these force multipliers work and how do they obey the law of conservation of energy.

NEW KS3
Energy resources - based on Activate P2.6
This lesson includes this reosurce as a main activity https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/renewable-energy-resources-fact-sheets-6376633
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson where students look at the sun being the basis of energy on earth, the formation of coal, oil and gas - my class have just studied the rock cycle, a video link on generating electiricty (could be used as a dictogloss or alongside the worksheet), students then need to complete a poster activity.
SS1 - Starter - from exploring science the source is the sun for students to discuss
SS2 - Generating electricity - the energy transformations that happen inside a power station
SS3 - not provided - the amazing resource linked above.

NEW KS3
Energy and temperature - based on Activate P2.3
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson students look at the difference between heat and temperature. Includes an extended writing task.
SS1 - Practical (adapted from Activate, tech notes are linked if you have access - if not it is obvious what is necessary)
SS2 - Worksheet shared from a member of my department.

NEW KS3
Energy transfer: particles - based on Activate P2.4
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson - includes animations (i think from boardworks?) demos necessary!
SS1 - body outline for students to add clothing and accessories that help keep them warm (starter & plenary)
SS2 - Wetsuit comprehension task - adapted from an old exploring science task.

NEW KS3
Energy adds up - based on Activate P2.2
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson
SS1 - Practical sheet. The practical in this can be any sort of energy circus where the energy transfers are obvious.

Worksheet made for my triple chemists for writing the formula of ionic salts.
Students need to work out the ratio between the positive and negative ions in salts. Charges are given on the negative ions (these are new) but not on the positive ions.
