PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Investigate how light travels through a lens. Describe the difference between a convex lens and a concave lens. Identify the focal point in a light ray diagram of a convex lens. This is made for a KS3 science class. Includes questions, answers, diagrams and link to a virtual simulation.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objective: Investigate how refraction happens using a glass block. This is made for a KS3 level science class. Includes questions, answers, diagrams, a practical opportunity and videos/simulations if you don’t have the practical equipment.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Describe how drag forces and friction arise and identify examples. Explain the effect of drag forces and friction in terms of forces. Explain why drag forces and friction slow things down in terms of forces. Includes questions, answers, examples, explanations and a practical opportunity including plasticine, cupcake cases and water.

Learning objective: Describe the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire and use the corkscrew rule to determine the direction of the field around it.

PowerPoint that covers generating electricity by combusting fossil fuels. Includes how fossil fuels are formed, what we use them for, how electricity is generated and the advantages and disadvantages. This is made for a KS3 level class. The starter activity revisits efficiency and power from previous lessons to enhance memory recall.

PowerPoint that covers power and the cost of electricity for a KS3 level class. The starter revisits efficiency and energy stores from previous lessons to enhance memory recall. The power equation (power = energy transferred / time) is covered with an example of how to show working out. Slides include rearranging the equation and unit conversions. The cost equation (cost = power x time x cost per kWh) is also covered. Answers are included.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Describe what forces do and how they are measured. Identify ‘contact forces’ and ‘non-contact forces’. Simply describe what ‘interaction pair’ means and identify interaction pairs in a simple situation. Use a newton meter to measure the size of a force. Includes diagrams, explanations, practical safety, practical method, practical results table, questions and answers.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Describe and explain what happens when light is refracted. Draw a refraction diagram. Includes diagrams, explanations, questions and answers. If you could spare 5 minutes, please review this resource, to help my online presence grow! :)

PowerPoint that covers the key words: transparent, translucent, opaque, absorbed, transmitted, luminous, non-luminous, light meter and reflected. This is made for a KS3 level class. The PowerPoint includes the answers to the activities.

PowerPoint that covers law of reflection, virtual images, specular reflection and diffuse reflection. This is made for a KS3 level class. Includes diagrams, class practical (or demonstration/video), questions, answers and assessment for learning opportunities.

PowerPoint that covers the 5 energy stores, 4 energy transfers and the principle of conservation of energy. This is made for a KS3 level class. Includes diagrams, questions, answers and a practical activity that can be done as a class or demonstration by the teacher.

PowerPoint that covers gravity, mass and weight at a KS3 level. Includes the equation weight = mass x gravitational field strength.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Describe and explain what happens to light when it passes through a prism. State how primary colours add to make secondary colours. State the effect of coloured filters on light and explain how filters and coloured materials subtract light. This is made for a KS3 science class. Includes questions, answers, diagrams, examples and a link to a virtual simulation of dispersion.

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Define the mass of an object. Measure mass of an object using a mass balance. Includes questions, pictures, instructions and a practical in which the students have to use mass balances to measure the mass of up to 20 objects. There are questions that ask students to add masses of objects together, substract masses and work out the difference. The results table, questions and space for answers are on the worksheet. This is for a primary/early secondary class. If you could spare 5 minutes, please review this resource, to help my online presence grow! :)

PowerPoint that covers the following learning objectives: Measure the temperature of a substance. Plot a graph of temperature vs. time. In this investigation, students will compare how a large beaker of hot water and a small beaker of hot water cool down differently. They will form a research question, hypothesis, fill in table of results, plot line graphs and form a conclusion. PowerPoint includes research question, hypothesis, method, graphs and conclusion.

Learning objectives: Describe the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials. Describe the interaction of magnetic poles (attraction and repulsion).

Learning objectives: Describe the differences between permanent and induced magnets.

Learning objectives: Investigate the shape of a magnetic field around a bar magnet. Compare the Earth’s magnetic field to that of a bar magnet.
