Here's a resource for ks3 and ks4 on the topic of Recycling. The 23 slides cover the theory and contain tasks, prompts for class discussions, and activities for pupils. There are 2 case studies at the end where pupils have to do some calculations related to recycling. I've also included my own lesson plan / notes that I wrote in preparation for teaching this lesson. Enjoy!

Hooke’s Law KS4 Science Physics / KS5 Recap for the topic of materials in physics L.O. To investigate how force is related to extension of a material by Hooke’s Law. To calculate the force required to extend a spring. To calculate the elastic potential energy stored in a spring. The Powerpoint presentation includes 17 slides. They contain theory, tasks, practical experiment, and questions with solutions. Some texts and images are animated, such that they appear upon click. There is a handout to go along with the practical of investigation Hooke’s law (stretching a spring using slot masses and measuring its extension.) A worksheet is included. I’ve used this sheet as homework, but you can also use it as classwork. Enjoy!
