Finish and reinforce a forces module or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson which includes:
Forces – definition, units, measurement
Weight and mass
Friction
Air resistance
Balanced and unbalanced forces
Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock on the school tool shed in which the school caretaker has been accidentally locked.
The pack contains:
PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer);
crossword;
word search;

A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to respiration including an explanation of the difference between respiration and breathing.
What’s Covered
Breathing is movement of air in and out of the lungs.
Respiration is the release of energy from glucose.
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to release energy from glucose.
Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen to release energy from glucose and produces lactic acid which causes muscle cramps.
Anaerobic respiration creates oxygen debt which must be cleared using oxygen and is why breathing rate does not return to normal immediately vigorous activity ceases.
Yeast is a unicellular fungus that undergoes fermentation.
Word equations for aerobic respiration and fermentation.

Current Electricity-Current, Voltage and Resistance-What are They? KS3
This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.
Objective
To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery.
To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance.
To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness.
To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor.
To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

End of Year / Back to School Team Building Quiz KS3
A fantastic back to school or end of year activity which is ideal for welcoming students back from lockdown and starting to rebuild community. It is a team activity which can easily be undertaken by students while meeting the requirements of social distancing and there is a reminder to so at the beginning of each team round.
It is a 61 question, animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide range of general knowledge questions and tasks are included. As well as asking a question, a lot of slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity. Topics include:
geography
history
nature
science
music
astrology
astronomy
flags of the world
famous people
famous landmarks
current affairs
Team Rounds
Each team will attempt their general knowledge team round of three questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team get to try the rest of the round.
Each team will also have to solve the clues to identify a well - known phrase or saying.
There are four lightning rounds in which team members consult to try to identify a slowly revealed person or landmark.
Memory Test – questions on the order and detail of eleven objects which cross the screen then disappear.
Individual Rounds
Four unscramble and identify rounds which consists of a picture which has been cut up and rearranged.
Memory Test – give coordinates of fish which have moved around a pond.
Finally, the fifteen - question individual bonus round. This round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all the questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 40 and 50 minutes.
Full instructions are given on the PowerPoint itself.

Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources
This pack contains thirteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.

KS3 Cells Quiz Plenary/Exit Ticket Activity
Versatile resource. A ten-question animated slideshow quiz with sound effects on eleven slides which also be used as an exit ticket activity. Each pupil has three cards A, B and C. They select the answer to a question and hold up the appropriate card before the answer to the question is revealed. This also provides instant feedback on pupil progress for the teacher and the opportunity for further explanation. It can also be used by pupils individually in a network room or loaded onto the school website for use as revision at home. Each slide shows the instructions reading time, thinking time, hold up your card and click for answer. Functions are timed but can be over-ridden by a mouse-click. This format was highly praised by inspectors. The quiz is available as a ppsx file so that it runs as a slideshow.
The quiz is a part of a fully resource lesson which is also available.
