Complete lesson on Electromagnetic Spectrum/Uses/Risks with key content from AQA Physics.
This lesson covers the electromagnetic spectrum, waves uses, wave risk, order and size of waves and mobile risks.
Starter uses a fun riddle challenge which pupils enjoyed doing in Generating Electricity and so asked for another.
The lesson explores the spectrum by order of identities of waves, wavelength, frequency and energy.
A quick task on multipliers, standard form and prefixes helps pupils understand the notation commonly seen on the EM spectrum and also as questioned in exams.
A task gets pupils to explore different EM waves using information sheet for them to use to summarise key information. Then mobile phone risk is then discussed along with correlation and causation.
Plenary quick quiz and some exam style questions which can be used as mini plenaries to link to exams.

Perfect if you teach GCSE Physics Single or Combined Science, this fully differentiated and resourced topic bundle supports your students in learning about electricity, circuits, and static electricity.
Students will:
Recall the structure of the atom, limited to the position, mass and charge of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Draw and use electric circuit diagrams, and describe the differences between series and parallel circuits.
Explain how current and potential difference are measured in series and parallel circuits.
Explain how changing the resistance in a circuit changes the current and how this can be achieved using a variable resistor.
Recall and use the equation to calculate: energy transferred, charge, potential difference, current, resistance, and power.
Explain how current varies with potential difference for the following devices and how this relates to resistance: filament lamps, diodes, fixed resistors.
Describe how the resistance of a light-dependent resistor (LDR) varies with light intensity and describe how the resistance of a thermistor varies with change of temperature.
Explain how the design and use of circuits can be used to explore the variation of resistance in the following devices: filament lamps, diodes, thermistors, LDRs.
Explain energy transfer and ways of reducing unwanted energy transfer.
Explain the difference between direct and alternating voltage.
Explain the function of the earth, neutral and live wire.
Explain how an insulator can be charged by friction, through the transfer of electrons.
Explain some of the uses of electrostatic charges in everyday situations.
Describe some of the dangers of sparking in everyday situations.
Define an electric field and describe the shape and direction of the electric field.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Identify the circuit symbols for: a thermistor and a LDR.
Describe how resistance changes in a thermistor and LDR.
Explain why both LDRs and thermistors are used.
Choreographic Devices flashcards suitable for KS3 or GCSE level students. Flashcards contain 8 Choreographic Devices and their definitions, and 12 Choreographic Tasks, with Challenge tasks integrated throughout.
Flashcards can be used in two ways:
Folded in half, with the Choreographic Device on one side and the definition on the other
As one A4 sheet, with both the Choreographic Device and definition on the same side
Clipped together, with the definition and tasks for each Choreographic Device in one mini ‘pack’
Useful for students developing choreography independently, or for students to be responsible for finding out definitions to challenging devices.
Suitable for use with AQA GCSE Dance Specification.
Hydrogen device cuts fuel bills and emissions for larger vehicles. The bolt-on system produces small amounts of hydrogen which helps engines to burn conventional fuels more efficiently.
Welcome to SciencEd: Science Resources for teachers!
This resource is fully differentiated resource that includes answers for teaching students about the efficiency of devices. The lesson is split into 3 chunks to make sure that you meet the needs of your students when delivering the new GCSE Physics and Combined Science: Physics courses.
Are your students aiming towards a grade 5? This resource aims to get your students to:
*Identify the types of useful and waste energy in a system
*Describe how to find the efficiency of a device
Are your students aiming for a grade 5? Get your students to:
*Explain, using calculation, which device is the most efficient
Are your students aiming above a grade 5? Stretch them to:
*Link ideas of specific heat capacity to work out the efficiency of a spirit burner.
This resource includes little extras to help challenge all of your students.
*On your toes boxes -
Prepare students for feedback by putting their name into the orange boxes on screen.

* Stretch your most able -
Stretch yourself! opportunities placed throughout the lesson to get your most able to think about their answers and the applications of science.
The development of new materials with incredible properties is changing the way we live. From LCD TVs to super light airliners, these materials have quickly found their way into pretty much all of the modern technology around us. One area where modern materials have made a huge impact is in the development of prosthetic devices. Some of these devices are beginning to outperform ‘natural’ body parts.
Activity info, teachers’ notes and curriculum links to KS3 science materials
Using the short video ‘Bionic Limbs’, this activity is a quick, engaging introduction to a KS3 science materials lesson looking at the properties of modern materials. It encourages students to think about how technology is changing our society by generating their own ideas for prosthetic devices that they think will be realistic in the near future. There are takeaways for KS4 biology and KS3 product design.
The activity sheet includes teachers’ notes, useful web links, and links (where appropriate) to the national curriculum in each of the four devolved UK nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Download the activity sheet and quiz for free!
All activity sheets and supporting resources (including film clips!) are free to download, and all the documents are fully editable, so you can tailor them to your students’ and your schools’ needs.

This lesson concentrates on the power of dramatic devices in An Inspector Calls. The starter asks students to discuss the emotional impact of popular culture genres through the cinema or theatre. Students then relate this to Priestley’s intention in AIC. Students are then introduced to the concept of the ‘fourth wall’ and the power of the Inspector’s disruption. Students then make a poster of differing dramatic devices used in the play from the physical photograph of Eva to the setting, lighting and the use of dramatic irony.
