These are complete lesson PowerPoints, handouts and assessment for a KS3 topic on forms of energy, energy transfers, energy efficiency, energy in food, as well as calculating kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.

A series of 10 science lessons for Year 7 that introduces students to working in a lab and collecting data. Topics include: Initial assessment, working scientifically, collecting data, drawing a bar graph, drawing a scatter graph, making a prediction, using a Bunsen burner.

This is a complete unit of work that covers forces and speed suitable for Key Stage 3 (KS3) Years 7 and 8. It contains, lessons worksheets and assessments. The lessons cover: What are forces, balanced and unbalanced forces, newtons, gravity on other planets, speed, acceleration, distance time graphs and relative motion.

This is a unit of work suitable for KS3. Includes lessons, handouts and assessments. Topics include: Waves, wavespeed calculations, sound waves, reflection, refraction, electromagnetic waves, the ear, the eye & the rainbow.

KS3 Science topic, suitable for Year 7. Covers the following topics: Particle theory, Changes of state, Density, Diffusion, Convection, Conduction & Surface tension. Includes lessons and assessment as well as an investigation in to which metal makes the best conductor.

The aim of this experiment is to use results of a titration to perform a calculation linked to a real life example of measuring sulphur dioxide emissions from a power station. The scenario is that students are given a solution of sulfuric acid produced when waste gas from a power station is bubbled through hydrogen peroxide. They perform a titration the sulfuric acid against a known solution of sodium carbonate then use the results to calculate the mass of sulfur dioxide in the waste gas. Included in the PowerPoint is an introduction to the experiment, teachers notes, results table, instructions for students, advice on performing titrations and how to do the calculations. Depending on the group, different levels of support can be given.

This card sort activity allows students to create a flow diagram explaining the processes in different types of electricity generation. They can also describe the energy transfers that take place. They can build flow diagrams for coal, oil, gas, nuclear, tidal, wave, geothermal, wind & solar energy.

This is an activity suitable for a lesson or as a piece of homework. It is designed to develop literacy and promote an interest and awareness in science. The students find a science based news story published in the last 7 days that they find interesting. They pick out keywords and find definitions for them. They research additional information and summarise the story in their own words.

These are slides which can be printed and given to the students as cards for a 10 minute card sort activity to support a lesson on atomic spectra. It helps them understand atomic emission and absorption spectra in terms of adsorption and emission of photons by the electrons in an atom. Included is a pdf with 4 cards on each page and the original PowerPoint from which they were made.
