Forces - Friction and Air Resistance Find the Pair Game KS3
This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on friction and air resistance. 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
Friction and air resistance act in the opposite direction to motion.
The rougher the surface the more friction it causes.
Friction produces heat.
Lubricants, such as oil, reduce friction.
Friction is useful when it provides grip.
Friction is not useful when it slows things down and wastes energy.
Friction is a force and is measured in Newtons (N).
Air resistance is caused when the front of a moving object collides with air particles.
Air resistance slows an object down, produces heat and wastes energy.
Objects with a large surface area produce high air resistance.
Streamlined shapes have low air resistance.
A parachute has a large surface area and high air resistance.
When the weight of a falling object equals the air resistance the body then falls with steady speed.

Each player selects seven dominoes 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.
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.

Christmas/End of Term Team Quest Quiz
An enjoyable and fun Christmas activity which promotes not only the concept of teamwork but also individually contributing to the success of a team. It is a 56 question, animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide range of general knowledge questions and tasks are included. As well as asking a question, a lot of slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:
Christmas trivia
geography
history
nature
science
music
astrology
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
Team Rounds
Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round.
Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying.
There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark.
Individual Rounds
Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged. This is an individual not a team round.
Memory Test – questions on eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear.
Memory Test – give coordinates of frogs which have moved around a pond.
Finally, the ten - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes.
Full instructions are given on the PowerPoint itself.

Required Knowledge
A force can produce a turning effect or moment.
The further away from the pivot that a force is applied the greater the moment.
Moment of a force = force x distance from pivot.

if the lamps in a parallel circuit are identical, all the lamps are of equal brightness;
if a lamp is removed or breaks in a series circuit, the others will go out;
if a lamp is removed or breaks in a parallel circuit, the others will stay on.
To be able to:
draw series and parallel circuits from descriptions and sketches;
deduce voltmeter readings in series and parallel circuits;
deduce readings on ammeters and voltmeters in series and parallel circuits.
