Images from the classic practical of looking at cheek cells and onion cells through a microscope. I use this after doing the practical (in case students can't get theirs to work) as a way of identifying key features of the cell. Aimed at KS3

Energy Transformation PPT

Physics of the Brazuca World Cup Ball

Physics of the Brazuca World Cup Ball

(0)
I use this activity with my middle ability year 9 group, but it can be adapted to other abilities. I showed the YouTube video of the Brazuca ad first, as a quick intro. Then the students need to read through the National Geographic article on the Brazuca and attempt to answer the questions. The article and questions should take around 25 mins or so. On the electronic copy of the article, the hyperlinks still work if you want to take it further.
Radiation Doses Activity

Radiation Doses Activity

(0)
Activity I do with my GCSE groups on size of doses from sources. I teach in Mexico so the word document mentions figures for Mexico (just change to UK!) Students can graph using Excel or by hand and then compare different doses of radiation. The image is from the website xkcd and is public domain so can be reproduced. Its a big image and needs to be printed in A3 to be readable. If you cannot print it out the weblink is attached. I really welcome feedback, on how I can improve this resource! Thanks!
