Current Electricity KS3 - The Complete Module
This one-stop-shop for current electricity at KS3 takes pupils from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, the resistance of conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components and finishes with Ohms Law.
A free bonus package of a board game, card sort and smart board quiz are included.
The module is divided into 11 fully-resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 11 animated PowerPoints and 147 assorted printables making even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In ten of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil.
In the 39 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic.
Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts.

Kinetic Theory of Matter, Mixtures and Solutions, Separating Mixtures - Distance, Classroom and Blended Learning KS3
Three action-packed topics providing a one – stop – shop for the kinetic theory of matter (particle theory), mixtures and solutions and separating mixtures.
The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates blended learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school.
For each topic, the classroom resource consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 50 slides and a minimum of 13 varied and exciting printables including guides notes, a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class.
For each topic, the distance learning pack consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 65 slides which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. Each PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, guided notes, cut-outs, foldables and progress checks provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. For each topic there is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of each PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers.
What’s Covered
Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases.
Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles.

Forces - 80 Moments Dominoes KS3
A dominoes game with questions and statements on moments
Prior Knowledge
A force can produce a turning effect or moment.
The further away from the pivot that a force is applied the greater the moment.
Moment of a force = force x distance from pivot.
The unit for moments in the newton – metre.
At equilibrium F1 x d1 = F2 x d2
The wheelbarrow and tongs are examples of simple machines using levers.
What You Get
80 dominos
Animated PowerPoint explaining the rules and how to play.
Rules of the Game
Each player selects seven dominos from the top of the face-down pile and holds them in their hand like playing cards.
The player whose surname begins with a letter closest to the letter A starts and play proceed in a clockwise direction.
Dominos can be matched exactly, or a name can be matched with a symbol or descriptions, sketches and circuit diagrams can be matched.
If a player thinks a match is wrong, they can challenge. If the challenger is correct, they give a card from their own hand to the challenged player. If the challenged player is correct, they give a card from their hand to the challenger. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer and consult their teacher if a consensus is not reached.
If a player cannot play a domino, they pick up from the face down pile and can play if possible or add it to their hand.

Pupils take turns and work their way around the board following the instructions in the squares.
Certain squares indicate that the pupil takes a question card from the face down pile. If correct they move on 2 spaces.
If a player thinks an answer given by an opponent is incorrect they can challenge. If the challenge is correct the challenger moves forward 2 spaces. If the challenge is wrong the challenger moves back two spaces.
In the event of a challenge, pupils are encouraged to consult their books but the teacher has a quick-check answer sheet.

Current Electricity - Current in Series and Parallel Circuits KS3
This action-packed lesson on current in series and parallel circuits , is fully resourced and differentiated with 12 activities and 12 individual learning outcomes.
Easy to follow instructions are given on the PowerPoint and worksheets so that the lesson practically runs itself.
The activities include literacy, group work, peer assessment, self-assessment, pupil response to assessment, feedback to teacher on pupil learning via the exit ticket quiz and a practical.
This pack contains material for two hours lesson time in total to enable the teacher to totally bespoke the lesson according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision.
An easy to follow one-page flow chart lesson plan indicates where logical choices between resources can be made and indicates whether each activity includes literacy, oracy or AFL .
Objective
To know the units for and how to measure current.
To know that current is the same throughout a series circuit. * To know that
To know that, in a parallel circuit, the current in all the branches in a parallel circuit adds up to the current in the main part of the circuit.
To be able to draw circuit diagrams from description.
To be able to design results tables.
