Double lesson with easy practical investigation of friction of different shoes/trainers(Need ruler, ramps and different shoes). Lessons follow a thematic approach with students learning about the Nike research facility and the scientists that work there, relating forces and friction to their work. In the second lesson, students will learn about drag force and apply their understanding of both lessons to use success criteria to produce a scientific report for Nike on the two subject areas. Students then have to present their data and answer questions on the experiment. Contains differentiated investigation worksheets for higher/lower attaining students. Notes are on each slide detailing additional activities and ideas for teaching. Objectives: GOOD – PRESENT and COLLECT data accurately GREAT – USE experimental data/knowledge to inform your answers OUTSTANDING – APPLY your own knowledge to solve a problem/answer a question

Lesson looking at energy demands are met (focussing on USA and China) through the use of fossil fuels (coal) and nuclear power, detailing how each method generates electricity in power plants. This is taught through 3 youtube video links and accompanied worksheet. Last slide looks at Biofuel as an alternative energy source, discussing the idea of this fuel being carbon neutral. Instruction ideas for the lesson are in the notes section of each slide. Starter - Question with pictures asking how Coal, Oil and Gas are formed. Main 1 - 3 information slides to promote discussion, looking at energy demand in various countries before focussing on how energy demands are met in the US and China and why their energy usage is so high. Main 2 - Worksheet activity whereby students watch youtube clips to identify the process of making energy through Coal and Nuclear power. Plenary - Students to evaluate the use of biofuel as a carbon neutral energy source. Objectives: GOOD – IDENTIFY where countries get their energy from and what they use it on. GREAT – OUTLINE the operations of nuclear and coal power stations. EPIC – EXPLAIN why biofuels can be considered Carbon Neutral. As always, any feedback is welcome :)

Lesson looking at different uses of nanotechnology. Lesson activity depicted on the PowerPoint. The sunscreen article is higher level, providing differentiation. Nanoscale and web link help pupils understand the relative size of nanotechnology.

3 sections with questions on identifying independent and dependent variables, exam style questions on graph skills before building up to students plotting data onto their own graphs.

Information sheets describing Newton's 3 Laws of Motion with examples. I have also uploaded a simple worksheet for students to use when interpreting the sheets, although this was used as a quick fix for a lesson. The sheets can be used as a revision aid or as placemats for students to use when investigating the 3 Laws.

Worksheet for students to complete for a quick check of their knowledge of Series and Parallel Circuits, the bakery circuit model, voltage across series and parallel circuits, Ohms Law and Power ratings.

Characterised pirate worksheet (Pirate Pete) whereby students have to work out the direction Pete travels around his Treasure Island. Worksheet is designed to teach students how to calculate displacement vectors with two separate methods: 1: By measuring the line of the missing triangle side 2: Using Pythagoras Theory Made for my middle/low ability Y9 groups as a cross curricular with Maths for the new spec Physics 2016 GCSE (scalars + vectors) Teacher answers are on the last page.

Worksheet which gives 'mild', 'medium' and 'spicy' choices for calculations on working out power using the triangle formula, then follow on questions relating to efficiency calculations and the drawing of Sankey diagrams using either squared or graph paper which are differentiated.

Complete tutorial/lesson looking at the particle model involving solids, liquids and gasses with supplementary key learning points detailed under relevant slides. PowerPoint looks at the characteristics of each state and also what happens to the particles when they change state. Has a starter and plenary on the PowerPoint.

A practical lesson which allows pupils to follow step-by-step instructions in order to complete an investigation into the difference in voltage between parallel and series circuits. All instructions are on the PowerPoint as well as a mini-starter, a 'set your own homework' plenary and questions relating to the lesson. Apparatus (Per Group) - Power Pack, Wires, Croc Clips, 3 Bulbs, Voltmeter.
