Junior science energy lesson 9 - electricity generation

(1)
This resource is a lesson plan for junior science (year 9, KS3, 8th grade) which introduces the concept of the generation of electricity The 1 hour lesson consists of a power presentation outlining key concepts, a learning activity and assessment of learning including non-renewable and renewable resources.
Angry birds - projectile motion
doctorharvesdoctorharves

Angry birds - projectile motion

(1)
This lesson involves using angry birds as a context to develop understanding of projectile motion and the affect of gravity on objects. The lesson is in 3 parts: Part one is notes and questions to test student understanding of projectile motion including breaking down the horizontal and vertical components of this motion. Part two then introduces the concept of gravity acting on an object and how mass and distance from objects changes the force of gravity. Part three is an activity where students apply their knowledge of projectile motion to design a new angry bird.
Forces revision game

Forces revision game

(0)
This is a useful revision resource around forces and Newtons equations of motion. The activity consists of students cutting out and creating a series of cards. The students then work in groups of 3 - 4 to attempt to compete the task set on the cards. The fastest group wins. The task is 'I have, who has' Each card has a definition (I have) and also a question (who has) one student reads out a question (who has) and other students respond with the answer (I have) based on what cards they have in front of them. If the answer is correct then they read out the question on their card. The game is completed when all definitions are answered by the group.
Hydraulics

Hydraulics

(0)
The resource is in the form of a presentation about hydraulics related to pressure and forces with worked examples. Also included is an activity which assesses the understanding of the principle of force magnifiers in relation to hydraulics through a series of questions related to the concepts outlined in the presentation. The application of the equation of P = F/A in hydraulics is outlined in both the worked examples and in the activity.
Static electricity activity

Static electricity activity

(0)
The activity is designed to assess the understanding of students about static electricity. In particular, the activity is a series of questions related to movement of charge. The activity also includes questions on conductors and insulators and relates this to the movement of positive and negative charge.

Slinkies and waves activity

(0)
Activity idea In this activity, students model how sound travels by sending waves along two stretched plastic slinkies tied together. By the end of this activity, students should be able to: • understand that sound is a longitudinal wave where particles in the medium vibrate back and forth along the same direction as the wave travels • see that a wave travels along as a series of compressions and expansions in the medium.

How to use a bunsen burner

(0)
The presentation is to be done over two lessons. The first lesson goes over lab safety with an activity involving finding potential dangers in the lab. The next lesson involves the use of a bunsen burner to test for metals. The latter lesson involves students getting a bunsen burner drivers license by following safety steps. Once attained they test solid salt samples by the flame test. The other activity includes labelling the bunsen burner and using terms in sentences to reinforce learning. The learning objectives for both lessons are outlined in the presentation.
The Avengers

The Avengers

(0)
This lesson involves using the avengers to teach students about forces and motion, The unit involves a lesson plan and an activity where students compare the skills of each avenger and solve simple calculations using Newtons first and second laws of motion. The students work in groups to help solve these mathematical problems
