I am a super dyslexic teacher, with a dash of ADD, all my resources are built with access in mind, because honestly, if they weren't I wouldn't be able to read them. Note the pastel tones, chunking and clear notation ques. As such my resources are also super easy to scaffold or stretch, and definitely easy to replicate. Please enjoy, and hang in there, at whatever school you're at, I can guarantee that those kids need you in their lives a lot more than you realise.

One of the most fun lessons I like to teach (nevermind the fact I love astrophysics), you'll go through scale of the solar system, modeling out the distances, astronomical units and discussing the difficulties of communicating in space. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

An excellent lesson focusing on Electromagnets, it takes you througha simple practical, then expands on the variables (more coils etc) before reviewing everything. Very easily scaffolded or extended.

A nifty little resource that guides students through refraction (not easy) you'll need a laser pointer or better yet a fancy looking laser (not for the kids) to get the best out of this, however the ray boxes they would use for the practical would work well also.

Brilliant lesson, focusing on whole class questioning, get a good bouncing question technique going with some solid 'no shouting out' ground rules and you're onto a winner, perfect for getting in all those awesome demos too, like the ol heating up a broken rich tea biscuit of golden syrup and water over a packed tray of sand.

Who doesnt love teaching refraction, okay its hard, but how cool is it messing with prisms! Make sure your AFL is on point with this one and don't be afraid to cut it short and go slower, hence this resources gradual stepping up, at any point you can level off, say right thats enough, jump into the practical and pick up the next day but more in depth, I strongly recommend each time you teach this doing the practical as it will cement the need to know stuff in each time you repeat it. Oh by the way, no matter how hard I try, if you get the kids to model refraction by marching, expect every kid in your class to salute you for at least the rest of term (its funny at first but it gets old.. real old) https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

KS3 P8.5 Reflection

A super fun lesson using ray boxes and lasers, students will work out the angle of reflection, calculate and draw incidence and reflected beams, culminating with the class groups each calculating the angle required to reflect a beam from each group, I have had one class of 8 groups succesfully bounce a laser all 8 times and reflect back to the whiteboard. All my students remember this lesson. Any laser will do but green is the coolest! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

KS3 P6.1 The earth inside

Students will build the earth with a cut and stick exercise, excellent chance to demo with household products (level them out by density), then swiftly moving onto convection current and the good ol golden syrup and biscuit convection current demo. You'll have to wait for it to cool down before anyone munches on it though. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

A brilliant little lesson that is a great visual, if you have a doorway and corridor to demo with it then its super handy, a ripple tank would also be a great demo, however there's everything you need on here to demonstrate how waves defract and reflect. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!
