A simple sheet for pupils to label the main parts of the National Grid. I made it for my bottom set Year 10 class, many of whom are SEN. Please give feedback as I'm new to teaching Physics!

Students copy 3 x 2 grid into books and choose 6 words to write in grid. Each slide gives clues to the identity of a metal. students work out which metal it is and cross it off if they have it. First student to correctly get 3 in a row win. Created as a starter for a 11th Graders(junior) lesson on metallic.

A cutting and sticking activity in which pupils work out which points relate to overhead cables and which are for underground cables. Designed for my bottom set Year 10s. The negatives of each type of cable are not included but can be discussed when you go through the answers. Powerpoint with answers included. Feedback welcome.

Really engaging game which makes a great lesson starter if you want to wake your class up and get their brains working! Based on the excellent game "5 Second Rule", this quick-fire game involves answering questions in 5 seconds or less. Questions are taken from all three sciences, simply remove those that are not relevant to your specification. In addition to the resources here, you will also need a counter for each pupil and a timer for each group.

A simple card sort, matching words to pictures. Examples include wavelength, amplitude, peak, trough etc. Made for a low ability group to recap the basics of waves and the wave equation. Feedback welcome.

An active way to teach waves, which I made to introduce my low ability Year 10s to waves. Print the circus and put the sheets at 5 stations around the room. Pupils move around the stations in groups filling in their sheet (print slide 5 of the powerpoint). Go through the answers on the powerpoint and then pupils fill in the blanks (print slide 11) to check their understand. Feedback appreciated.

Students are in pairs. One person in each pair is facing the board and the other is facing away from the board. The person facing the board has 30 seconds to describe the key word before the slide moves on, without mentioning any of the "taboo"

Students given a sheet each and have a set amount of time to think of something for each category beginning with A, B, C, D and E. Prize can be given for best answers. This is just a fun starter to get students thinking at the start of a lesson. I have included some suggested answers.

Teaches students the meaning of the words "outlier", "ranger", "mean", "best estimate", "hypothesis" and "true value". Aimed at a lower ability group.
