Current Electricity, Magnetism and Electromagnets - The Complete Module for KS3
This one-stop-shop for current electricity and magnetism takes middle school students from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, resistance in conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components, Ohms Law, magnetism and electromagnets.
The module is divided into 12 fully resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 12 animated PowerPoints and over 170 assorted printables which make even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In eleven of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil.
In the 40 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic.
Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts.

Both these action-packed lessons introduce current as a flow of electrons and explain the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoints. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical (simulated for the distance learning pack) explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

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.
Memory Test – questions on the order and detail of eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear.
Individual Rounds
Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged.
Memory Test – give coordinates of fish which have moved around a pond.
Finally, the fifteen - 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.

Distance Learning or Remote Learning Quiz KS3
A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm.
How it Works
The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance.
Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken.
They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher.
The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins.
The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win.
On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer.
Question Content
All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:
geography
history
sport
nature
current affairs
science
music
astrology
astronomy

Types of Question
Straight forward select the correct answer.
Unscramble the picture to identify the object.
Memory test – answer questions on the order and detail of objects which have passed on a conveyor belt.
Memory test – Give the coordinates of fish before and after they swim around a pond.
Identify the slowly - revealed animal or famous location.

With 13 original, enjoyable and engaging pupil resources and two PowerPoints, this pack is designed to be totally bespoked by the teacher to perfectly match pupil ability, time allowed for the topic and departmental focus. Depending on the resources chosen teaching time can take between 50 minutes and 2 hours. Resources not used in the lesson can be utilized for homework and pre-exam revision/review.
There are 9 differentiated learning outcomes – please see preview.
A one-page flow-chart suggested lesson plan is included showing the logical places where choices between resources can be made. Instructions for use are clearly stated on each resource.
Resources include elements of literacy, oracy, self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment which are clearly identified on the flow-chart.
The animated PowerPoint is the backbone of the lesson. The other is the answer/mark scheme for all assessment material so that self-assessment and peer assessment is extremely easy. Facility is also made for pupils to reflect on their performance.
This pack is suitable for schools using interactive notebooks.

Current Electricity-Current, Voltage and Resistance-What are They? KS3
This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
Objective
To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery.
To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance.
To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness.
To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.
To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
