KS3 Lesson on Sound Waves and Speed of Sound, designed to go with the new Activate scheme. However, it is a great introduction/recap to waves and more specifically sound waves. Differentiated questions and an extension task moving into echoes and sound for higher ability students. Some great opportunities for discussion around what sound can travel through and why, linking to particle diagrams. Only equipment needed to support this lesson is a slinky to use to demonstrate the different types of waves. If you like this lesson, please check out my other lessons and leave a review. Thanks.

Complete lesson on Frequency and Pitch, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well. Includes various tasks, calculations and discussions. All answers are provided on the slides so students can self/peer assess. This lesson works great if you have an oscilloscope so students can link frequency to pitch. It also includes a link to a youtube video for a ‘hearing test’ which students love to carry out to see how high a frequency they can hear to. There is a differentiated task on frequencies that animals can hear with low ability students using data to answer questions and high ability students presenting the data in their own graph.

Complete lesson on Loudness and Amplitude, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well. Includes definitions of key terms and includes questions to get students linking the physics of sound with everyday life.

Complete lesson on Light, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well. It is a great introduction to light. Includes various tasks, calculations and discussions. All answers are provided on the slides so students can self/peer assess. There are differentiated tasks and questions. There is a practical requiring a light source, light sensor and different materials. Check out my other resources and if you like this lesson, please leave a review.

Great to be used for a cover lesson, this worksheet is designed to go with the Activate 1 book and provides questions on all the main information that needs to be known on the topic.

KS3 lesson on Colour with differentiated starter and questions to suit students off all abilities. Includes a couple of practical activities involving prisms, white light source and coloured filters. The practical is best done in a darkened room. There is opportunities for discussion, linking of the physics of light to everyday objects and deeper thinking all included within this lesson. The plenary is a challenge grid with 9 questions, students have 10 minutes to complete as many questions as they can. The questions get progressively more challenging. Answers are included on the final slide for students to self assess. The starter activity is to unscramble tiles, I have put a printable version at the front of the powerpoint (2 versions).

Challenge Question pyramid based around the initial lessons for science for Year 7. Differentiated questions with easiest questions being worth 5 points and hardest question being worth 30 points. I usually set this as a challenge giving the students 20 mins to try and reach 100 points. Students highlight each question as they attempt them. This challenge can be approached in different ways from picking the easier questions and answering more questions or having less, but more challenging questions. It often surprises me as to how many students will challenge themselves to the harder questions and push themselves. Answers are included so students can self/peer assess.

Attached is a complete lesson on Energy dissipation for KS3 Energy Transfers topic. It covers energy dissipation, energy transfers and efficiency calculations. For high ability students you could get them to have a go at creating Sankey diagrams on wasted and useful energy. I have created a step by step narrative on Efficiency calculations that can be used as an activity with the students. You may find that the high ability students do not need this extra support. Hope you find this complete lesson with resources helpful. Please leave a review.

Attached are 5 lessons and worksheets for a very low ability Year 7 class on Electricity. Lessons are designed to go along with the worksheets. Practical activities need to be run alongside the lessons to support the learning. I can’t take credit for the worksheets as they were made by someone else. They were given to me by another teacher so I don’t know who made them to give them the credit. If you like the lessons, then please leave a review and view my other lessons and resources.
