This resource comes packed with FIVE activities where students are required to investigate the rate of heat loss from an object. They investigate surface area, volume, starting temp, type of material and the surface the object is in contact with. Watching water cool has never been such fun and students have to act fast in order to get each activity complete. This practical investigation comes complete with a presentation to lead students, activity task cards and complete technicians notes. Requiring simple equipment available in every lab it is appropriate for secondary students of all ages. Aside from heat transfer, it also helps students get to grips with the pesky concept of independent, dependent and control variables.
Practice does indeed make perfect. A presentation and two question packed worksheets to ensure that your students get to grips with this demanding topic! Complete with ANSWERS to all questions.
All the advanced level Nuclear Decay equations are here as students are required to calculate activities, decay constants, half-lives and deal with the tricky exponential decay equations. Students are required to get information from graphs as well as manipulate equations. It is aimed at all abilities and comes complete with a comprehensive answer sheet (no marking)! This double sided sheet will keep all your students occupied and enable them to progress.
Can your students use, manipulate and apply to different concepts the equations for calculating velocity and acceleration. This worksheet will help you and them decide! It comes complete with a fully comprehensive answer sheet (no marking)! Identify which students are struggling with these basic concepts and intervene before the difficult stuff comes along. It comes complete with pdf and word versions for your editing pleasure.
FATS (Formative Assessment Tests)! Short, sharp assessments testing students basic knowledge and key skills as exam season approaches! Warn them! Test them! All in 20 minutes! Complete with mark schemes these tests are quick, can be peer marked and give students quick feedback on where they are at. Complete with a no consequences STUDENT HONESTY BOX to fill in, students have individual communication with teachers informing us how much revision they are doing, how they are doing it and if there is anything that that they are having problems with. Each test comes with a RESIT edition if students under perform. There are two FAT tests here testing Energy, heat transfer, efficiency, S.H.C., cost of electricity, waves and evidence for the big bang. We'll miss the old specifications when they are gone....
Those pesky new Science GCSE specifications are full of challenging new demands. Dealing with prefixes like nano, micro, mega and giga is a major problem for students and teachers alike. God bless Michael Gove. I wish him well in his career. This presentation introduces students to the concept slowly and aims to build confidence slowly before introducing the new demands. Packed with theory, examples and questions, it is aimed at students of all abilities and contains Boffin Tasks to stretch the most able. ANSWERS to all questions are included in the presentation. Free online quiz too…

Aimed at younger students to increase their confidence with constructing simple circuits! It comes in the form of a power point presentation packed with simple practical activities requiring students to build and investigate simple series and parallel circuits. From using ammeters and voltmeters, investigating the effect of increasing bulbs and cells to challenging extension tasks requiring students to build circuits which perform a specific function. It also encourages the use of the key investigative terms, Literally hours of practical fun! The equipment required are connecting wires, batteries, bulbs, ammeters and voltmeters.
Sort-tastic FUN! A comprehensive card sorting activity that can be tailored for all ability levels! Sort the cards into three groups of properties and uses of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. (or four groups if you include beta plus decay - this is in some of the new GCSE specifications). The cards are printed on A4 sheets, four cards per sheet. Presented as individual files, this means that you can print and laminate only the cards that you want. This is ideal for group work, getting students thinking and discussing high level physics. It is suitable for A level students too.
