Useful for a lesson on different ways we send messages by light, in how we see things or a more general light topic this work sheet provides cross curricular links to maths and history and possibly fundamental British values as well as talking about broadband which means you can spring off into many different routes. The main challenge is for the pupils to independently make a code to send a message in pairs or groups as fast as possible. Often results in some great photos for sticking in workbooks, twitter feeds etc. Make the pupils do the work and get maximum science exposure! Useful for KS 3 and Common entrance GCSE, middle school and older depending on how you work the connections to other topics and subjects.

Four power points containing 5 multiple choice questions about the solar system, satellites, the rotation times of the moon and earth and the position of the moon in eclipses and different phases. There are also questions on mass and weight both on the moon and earth. Useful to review last lessons work and aimed at common entrance, KS 3, GCSE and middle school.

Investigating if the pupils understand the difference between weight and mass and can predict what type of objects will have a bigger gravity force between them this assessment also includes a line graph drawing task, the axes have already been started on the graph paper.

3 power points containing 5 multiple choice questions to review last weeks work or act as a plenary for this. The questions are set to change every 30 seconds and the answers are included. Works well with polling software such as turning point as well as white boards and paper! Suitable for Ks 3 or GCSE as well as common entrance and middle school.

This research lesson or home work is at a ks3 and common entrance level. Pupils will find out about different uses of satellites as well as some of the famous space craft in the history of space travel such as the Hubble space telescope and Apollo 11. There is also a question on low earth orbit and geostationary orbit. This a publisher file which is editable and a PDF.

With web site suggestions to assist the pupils this internet research task ask them to find out how the energy resource works, its advantages and disadvantages and make a power point to present to the rest of the class. This is appropriate for KS 3 and ISEB common entrance as well as grade 8.

23 x A4 size triangular pieces of bunting with dates of events across the Queen’s reign. cut them out, colour, hole punch and hang on some string to bring some instant Jubilee cheer to the classroom.

A work pack for students to fill in when covering work on springs, static forces and speed. It includes experiments, graduated differentiation, graph work and some maths. Covers the work on the CE syllabus on these topics. This is a publisher version which is editable and a PDF. Thoughts, comment and suggestions to hoppersphysics@sky.com

This pack contains 6 different bar graph drawing activities and some other activities with questions on graphs. Suitable for around year 3 they will work on counting different shapes (the shapes to work with are provided) different coloured shapes as well measuring width, volume (of liquids) and mass (although you can just provide numbers for them to use. They will also work on giving graphs a heading and axes labels. Perfect for cover, to do after an experiment or other task. Full instructions on the first page.

This is an introduction to drawing line graph. All the resources required are included apart from graph paper, which you need for 4 of the tasks. There are 2 bar charts as well as 4 line graphs and other questions on reading a line graph and plotting points. We use these with year 4, KS2 . There is another pack on bar charts and a third on using different scales available on tes resources. Very useful for cover, after experiments or other tasks or when the whole day has gone to pot and you need an easy but constructive lesson. Perimeter calculations and measurement also included. Full instructions included!

This graph pack works with the other two, also available on tes resources to teach the pupils how to use different scales. It starts with a simple bar graph, does an easy line graph and then works 7 more graph tasks with different scales. Helpful questions get the pupils to think about how to represent their data and there are some questions at the end to work through related to the graphs drawn previously. Excellent for cover, this stand alone pack needs no equipment. Also useful after other tasks in lessons, or when you just need an easy lesson at the end of a hard day. We use this with year 5 but would work well on both sides of this.

Is your child struggling with energy types and transfers? Help them out with this pack from Hoppers Physics. Covering types of energy, stores of energy, the law of conservation of energy and energy transfers this contains notes and links to online resources to help explain what is going on. There are also some questions to work on! Covers the material for KS3, middle school, or ISEB common entrance.

Based on the United States environmental agency student website this worksheet has questions on What is acid rain, What causes acid rain, why is acid rain harmful and what is being done. suitable for KS 3 and ISEB common entrance. This can be used as part of a lesson or as a prep.

3 pages with 18 questions in total on the forces of Magnetism, Springs and Statics. There are some harder problems thrown in to stretch the G&T lot. This takes amount 30 minutes. The key facts for KS 3 and ISEB common entrance are covered, possibly used for review at the start of GCSE and grade 8.
