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!

Falling and What is g?

I use this with a middle to high ability year 9 group, but could be used with low ability KS4 group. Activity that explains the key points of what is free fall, and also how we work out weight using g. I find the activity lasts around an hour or so. I am always looking to improve my resources, so please leave feedback! Thanks!
