Plotting Line Graphs

(1)
Students practise plotting line graphs of data: task builds slowly from plotting points and drawing best fit lines, to constructing scales and using appropriate labels on axes. Final page tests graph interpretation, and question 3 can be adapted to suit your syllabus and your area. Has worked extremely well with KS3 and weak KS4 pupils in maths and science lessons.
Current and Charge worksheet
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Current and Charge worksheet

(0)
Worksheet allowing students to practice using Q=IT, rearranging and using the equation triangle. Suitable for lower ability KS4 who need a lot of practice with equations.
Ray Diagram Student Helper sheet
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Ray Diagram Student Helper sheet

(0)
A sheet which helps students learn to construct ray diagrams: goes through the steps to draw rays for convex and concave lenses, then provides a guide as to describing the image.
Energy Transfer Diagrams
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Energy Transfer Diagrams

(1)
Worksheet for KS3 or KS4 to practice drawing energy transfer diagrams. Questions start simple and get gradually harder, and incorporate energy pathways and stores. Suitable for lower ability to support, or higher ability as lots of practice.
Potential Difference, Energy and Charge worksheet
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Potential Difference, Energy and Charge worksheet

(0)
Worksheet for KS4 students (middle to high ability), where students can practice rearranging and using the equation V = E/Q, as well as reinforce Q=It which should have been taught previously. Questions become progressively harder and begin to link in other skills. Solutions are included on a separate sheet for pupils to mark afterwards.
Trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA) Worksheet
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA) Worksheet

(0)
Fully differentiated worksheet going from identifying opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse on a triangle, to rearranging SOHCAHTOA to find missing sides. Each question sheet has hints on the back, and answers at the end of the ppt. Students can self select depending on their confidence, or teachers can guide pupils to identify their levels.
Terminal Velocity 6 mark question and mark scheme
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Terminal Velocity 6 mark question and mark scheme

(0)
KS4 scaffolded 6 mark question on terminal velocity, includes key words and sentence starters to guide pupils on structuring their answer. Perfect for Y10s doing forces who are not yet experienced at 6 mark question. Mark scheme on powerpoint slide gives pupils opportunity to peer mark work and give improvements.
Velocity Time Graphs

Velocity Time Graphs

(0)
Simple velocity time graphs where pupils practice reading graphs, calculating gradients and distance travelled by finding the area under a graph. Accompanying power point allows you to go through with pupils after activity.
Science investigation: Dissolving sugar in water
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Science investigation: Dissolving sugar in water

(0)
Planning sheet for students to carry out before, during and after an experiment to test solubility of sugar in water (can be adapted for your class). Contains work on scientific method, graph plotting and data collection. Has worked extremely well with KS3 and lower KS4 groups
Electricity: Current and Charge calculation
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Electricity: Current and Charge calculation

(0)
Differentiated worksheet where students practise using and rearranging Q=It, equation to calculate charge flowing in a circuit. All answers provided. Extension tasks are provided to stretch upper end of class, while earlier questions provide lots of repetition with calculations.
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons grid
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Protons, Neutrons and Electrons grid

(0)
Grid worksheet for students to practise calculating the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in different elements from the periodic table. Grids get gradually harder allowing differentiated learning. Blank boxes at the bottom of the grids are for students to make up their own challenges for friends as extension tasks. Suitable for KS3, KS4 or revision KS5
Averages and graph drawing skills in science
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Averages and graph drawing skills in science

(0)
Worksheet where students calculate the mean of a set of data, then apply skills to a scientific context. Students are given an experiment and then asked to identify variables, calculate averages of the data, plot a graph and interpret the experiment. Suitable for KS3 classes.
Doppler effect calculation practice
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Doppler effect calculation practice

(0)
Calculation worksheet, with solutions, practicing calculations of frequencies and speeds for the doppler effect; Suitable for Y12 and 13 students who need practice with the equation. Differentiated by outcome, worksheet becomes harder. Extension questions near the end applying Doppler Effect to red and blueshift with light.
Writing a method: Science
emma_gillard1emma_gillard1

Writing a method: Science

(1)
Fully scaffolded task, with extension activities, where students are supported in writing a scientific method for a practical. Gives sentence starters and highlights key words. Perfect for a homework / independent task. Chosen practical is biology but good for general science methodology and literacy skills.
