Based on a page on the BBC website this research task included questions on climate change looking at the current temperature of the earth, the gases that cause the greenhouse effect the impact that this will have on the planet. This can be used as a homework as well as a lesson.

YOu know that time of term when you need something which will work their brains but not look too much like work and give you some time to mark books etc?? Well look no further. These KS3 questions will give you that! They answer the questions and use the answer to colour the correct square in the grid. IT should spell Happy Xmas but what letter has been missed out?

This quiz covers moments, the solar system, light, sound and energy resources. Thirty questions in total, six on each topic. I use it with the zip grade app which will mark it as quickly as your phone will scan it and score by pupil and by question. Great for targeted feedback. A pdf and a publisher file. You will have to add your own diagrams to the publisher file!

This is a pupil pack for the class to do their work in while you work on sound. It includes some experiments, computer research and graduated differentiation tasks. There is a guide to help you use the pack. Covers all the work required by the ISEB. This is a publisher file, there is also a PDF version included. Data loggers equipt to record sound are needed for one of the experiments. Thoughts, comments and suggestions to hoppersphysics@sky.com

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.

A sequence of little experiments (although this does not have to be an experimental activity) you can use to asses the pupils ability to spot the different energies involved in some unusual transfers. Suitable for KS3, ISEB common entrance and middle school. Find more energy transfer work at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/Hoppersphysics

covering use of the density and pressure formulae, one or two tricks like the man at a party when you are given the area of one of his feet and the calculation of an area and a volume. A nice quick start to a lesson, easy to peer mark or do from the board.

This is a handout to give to pupils while you work through density for Common entrance or ks3 with the different learning objectives and skills they will use clearly shown. Covering how to find the density of a block, a liquid and an irregular solid as well as what density is and floating as a density rule. There are graduated differentiation tasks included to help those who need more reinforcement as well as those who need stretching. Sorry you will have to provide your own lab equipment!

A prearranged density mandala to help pupils summarize the key density experimental methods as well as the rule of floating and the uses of density. Suitable for common entrance.

The video here explains current in a parallel circuit. Good to review what happens with current splitting. More videos at the link below. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtqU2gzKXwiDP4GpSZVlDCA
