With 42 question cards on permanent magnets and electromagnets this is an enjoyable and challenging board game for up to six players per set. It is suitable for all abilities. Included in this Pack Game board 42 Question cards with questions of varying difficulty Teacher answer sheet Instruction sheet. Preparation Photocopy Board onto A3 paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included). Photocopy question sheets onto paper or card (Colour and greyscale versions included) and cut into question cards. How to Play Highest score of dice starts Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares. Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces. If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces. In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet. Prior Knowledge Required Magnetic materials can be made into magnets. Iron, cobalt and nickel and their alloys are magnetic materials. Unlike poles attract and like pole repel. There is an invisible magnetic field around a magnet made up of field lines. Draw the field lines around a bar magnet. The closer together the field lines the stronger the magnetic field. Draw the field lines around two bar magnets with like and unlike poles facing. There are more field lines around the poles where the magnetic field is strongest. The magnetic field strength gets less as distance from the magnet increases. Field lines point away from the south pole and towards the north pole of a magnet. When a magnetic material is made into a magnet, the randomly facing domains all line up to point in the same direction. The Earth acts as though there as a south-type pole at magnetic north and a north-type pole at magnetic south.

A dominoes game with questions and statements on the kinetic theory of matter (particle theory) including change of state, gas pressure and diffusion. Prior Knowledge Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases. Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles. Change of state including sublimation. Pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume. Diffusion What You Get 90 dominos Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play. Rules of the Game Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards. The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction. Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched. If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached. If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand. More high quality resources available here. Elf Off the Shelf Resources

This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on the kinetic theory of matter which uses the particle model to explain change of state, gas pressure and diffusion. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs. If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair. Included in this Pack. 42 question and answer cards Teacher’s answer sheet. Instruction sheet Preparation Use double-sided printing to copy 1 set per group of 4 pupils. Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use. Cut sheets into cards. Prior Knowledge Required Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.

This is a diagnostic tool to check understanding of and produce a personal review sheet for a middle school forces module which includes: pressure; moments; speed; Hooke’s Law. This lesson is an extremely useful tool to check for understanding which can be used as a final lesson for a module of work on forces or as a revision lesson prior to testing. What is Included 54 Question PowerPoint Answers PowerPoint Student answer sheet Fact Sheet Suggested Lesson Plan Students have some time to review the fact sheet either independently or with teacher. Students use the answer sheet to write down the answers to the questions on the Question PowerPoint Students check their answers against the answer PowerPoint On the fact sheets, students circle the numbers of the questions they got wrong on the answer sheet. This gives them a review list of facts to take away with them. All resources shown in these bundle are also available individually Forces Module 1 - Force, Weight & Mass, Friction, Balanced & Unba Forces Module 2 - Moments, Speed, Pressure & Hooke’s Law The Complete Forces Module ( Module 2 + Module 2) 7 Game Compendium for Module 1 6 Game Compendium for Module 2 Forces - 13 Game Compendium Lots more resources for forces at my shop?

Finish and reinforce a middle school module on reflection, refraction and lenses or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Students must work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school storeroom where Molly, a pupil’s dog, has been accidentally locked after following the child to school and while the school secretary phones home. Prior Knowledge Required Transparent, translucent and opaque materials Luminous and non-luminous objects Labelling the incident and reflected rays, the angles of incidence and reflection, the normal and the point of incidence Ray diagram showing how the eye sees an image in a plane mirror and in a periscope. The image formed in a plane mirror is upright, virtual (appears to be formed behind the mirror) laterally inverted, the same size as the object and as far behind the mirror as the object is in front. Specular and diffuse images The more dense the medium the slower the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium it is bent towards the normal. Light hitting a boundary at ninety degrees is not refracted nor at a curved boundary. Why lightning is seen before thunder is heard when a cloud discharges. Real and apparent depth Ray diagrams showing refraction in a concave and convex lens. Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses, telescopes and spectacles to correct long sight. Concave lenses are used in lasers, flashlights, peepholes and spectacles to correct short sight. Label the following structures on a diagram of the eye; retina; ciliary muscle; iris; pupil; lens; suspensory ligament; optic nerve. Ray diagrams to show how the eye sees distant and close objects. Ray diagrams to show how lenses are used to correct long and short sight. How the iris controls the size of the pupil and therefore the amount of light which enters the eye. The pinhole camera and the camera and compare with the eye. The pack contains: PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); crossword; word search; dominoes activity; worksheet; code breaker sheet; answers; lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. The worksheet is the most challenging clue to solve and this can be omitted completely for less able classes. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online or the teacher can pretend to phone the school office for the staff to attempt to release the teacher.
