Highest score of dice starts 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.

This engaging and enjoyable memory game is a great way for middle school students to consolidate learning on friction and air resistance. Also, a really useful tool for test prep - so much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning! How to Play Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs. If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge. Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair. Included in this Pack. 42 question and answer cards Teacher’s answer sheet. Instruction sheet Preparation Use double-sided printing to copy 1 set per group of 4 pupils. Sheets could be laminated to enable year-on-year use. Cut sheets into cards. Prior Knowledge Required Friction and air resistance act in the opposite direction to motion. The rougher the surface the more friction it causes. Friction produces heat. Lubricants, such as oil, reduce friction. Friction is useful when it provides grip. Friction is not useful when it slows things down and wastes energy. Friction is a force and is measured in Newtons (N). Air resistance is caused when the front of a moving object collides with air particles. Air resistance slows an object down, produces heat and wastes energy. Objects with a large surface area produce high air resistance. Streamlined shapes have low air resistance. A parachute has a large surface area and high air resistance. When the weight of a falling object equals the air resistance the body then falls with steady speed.

A great way for middle school students to consolidate learning on forces, weight and mass with this dominoes game which has questions and statements instead of numbers. A really useful tool for test prep - so much fun, students don’t even realise they are learning! Prior Knowledge Understand a force to be a pull or a push measured in Newtons (N). Examples of contact and non- contact forces. Forces change the speed, direction or shape of an object. All objects attract other objects and the bigger the object the bugger the attraction. The Earth’s attraction is called gravity which acts towards its centre and keeps its atmosphere in place and has a value of 10N/Kg. Mass is the amount of material in a body and is measured in kilograms (Kg). Gravity acts on a body’s mass and gives it weight which is measured in Newtons (N). The Moon’s gravity is on-sixth that of Earth and Jupiter is 2.5 times. 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 All resources shown in these bundle are also available individually Forces Module 1 - Force, Weight & Mass, Friction, Balanced & Unba Forces Module 2 - Moments, Speed, Pressure & Hooke’s Law The Complete Forces Module ( Module 2 + Module 2) 7 Game Compendium for Module 1 6 Game Compendium for Module 2 Forces - 13 Game Compendium Lots more resources for forces at my shop?

A comprehensive and enjoyable fully resourced lesson on balanced and unbalanced forces. An engaging animated PowerPoint explains and demonstrates resultant force, acceleration, deceleration, steady speed and upthrust. In addition to the PowerPoint, this fully resourced topic comes with a collection of thirteen worksheets, guided notes, activities and homework. All answers are provided. A one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires. What’s Covered Resultant force – two or more forces being replaced by one. Balanced forces as two forces of equal size acting on opposite directions. Balanced forces acting on stationary objects or resulting in steady speed. Unbalanced forces produce acceleration or deceleration. If the weight of an object equals the upthrust, it will float.

This fully resourced topic comes with an engaging animated PowerPoint and a collection of thirteen worksheets, guided notes, activities and homework. All answers are provided. A one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires. What’s Covered Friction is a force which opposes motion and is measured in newtons (N). Friction increases with the roughness of the surface. Friction is caused by collisions between “bumps”, sometimes microscopic, as surfaces slide over each other.

A one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires. What’s Covered All objects attract each other and that the attraction force depends on the size of the object. The attraction force of planets is called gravity which acts towards the centre. Gravity hold Earth’s atmosphere in place. Mass is the amount of material in a body, is measured in kilograms (Kg) and is independant of position. Weight is the effect of gravity pulling on a mass. Units for gravitational field strength are N/Kg. Applying W = m x g to calculate weight of a body on Earth, the Moon and Jupiter.

An ideal end-of-term activity or first-day team builder. This activity promotes the concepts of working as a team and individually contributing to the success of a team. It is a 65 question, animated, interactive team quiz with built – in scoreboard for up to seven teams. All questions are pictorial and multiple choice. A wide-range of topical and historical general knowledge is included. As well as asking a question, most slides also provide some interesting snippets about the topic so pupils are expanding their general knowledge as well as enjoying the activity.Topics include: geography history sport nature science astronomy astrology current affairs film art flags of the world famous people famous landmarks Each team will attempt their team round which consists of a science question and four general knowledge questions. The answer to each question must be decided by the whole team. If a wrong answer is given, the next question goes to the first hand up and, if correct, that person’s team gets to try the rest of the round. After the team round is the individual round. A maximum of thirty questions answered on a first-hand-up basis accruing points for the team. This second round allows flexibility in terms of the time the quiz takes as not all thirty questions have to be attempted. The quiz therefore can last between 30 and 50 minutes.
