This lesson was rated outstanding by ESTYN inspectors and it has a wide range of resources and activities to support you in teaching Solids, Liquids and Gases. The intro activity works best if photocopied several times and laminated with the images cut and placed in numbered envelopes for each group.

This video shows how graphs can be used to tell stories! The graph in the video is about two 100m runners who run the final race. Their Distance - Time graphs are told as a moving and exciting story. The PPT is the graph I used in the story and I have included the script, so you can do it with your classes. This could be an interesting cross-curricula activities and you could pair up with the English department get learners to write creative stories from various graphs.

This is a really engaging series of lessons on Energy Resources and Energy Transfers that is set as a role play where learners have to solve a real Energy Problem. There is also a very engaging and interactive game on energy transfers in power stations which will surely liven up your lessons on Energy Resources.

The PPT has carefully selected colours to play tricks on your learners! You must keep the swf file in the same folder as the PPT, or the activity will not work when you get to that slide! Give green + red filters to your learners to put in front of their eyes. Then, sit someone with green filters near someone with red filters, etc! Make filters by buying 3D glasses and cutting them in half. Then, stick two green 'lenses' together to make green filter goggles, and do the same for the red goggles. Have fun, you kids will love this activity and it is a definite winner during open days too

This is a set of ideas for a stage presentation that works very well for assemblies, open days and Science Week! It is a series of Magic tricks that will really engage your learners and that are very simple and cheap to set up and perform! I like not to give away the answers, but let the learners try to figure out how they work. I found that this encourages them to talk about the demonstrations for a long time after the show and it encourages scientific discussions!

This set of resources covers many aspects of Particle Physics for A-Level Physics students. Including: classification of particles, hadrons, quarks, leptons, Rutherford experiment, matter and antimatter, Feynman diagrams, mass and energy.

This resources is useful to learn about Pressure in Physics. You have a number of activities that can be used on an IWB and many visual demos to help learners understand the topic more deeply! The quick test could be done at the end to assess understanding.

This presentation is an introduction to sound and it explains some basic concepts like sound waves, amplitude, frequency, etc... in a clear, visual and auditory way.

This is an interactive PowerPoint on the Periodic Table of Elements. I used an ASUS Eee Pad Tablet to control the mouse of my laptop remotly with the app Unified Remote, so I could pass the tablet to different learners in the classroom and they could interact with the activity on the board (see video). The video was taken on an iPhone by a Yr8 learner. Chemistry, Science, Elements, Atoms, Metals, Halogens, Noble Gases, Reactivity.

This lesson plan is very detailed and gives some really useful ideas to develop understanding of the difference between Success Criteria and Predictions. It is an essential part of our KS3 SoW within How Science Work! Key words: Success Criteria, Practicals, Investigations, Science, Enquiry

This is a great quiz with an olympic theme. The two teams can get their runner to progress toward the 100m finish line by clicking on the correct answer! This quiz is tailored to learners in Yr11 (15-16) and contains many of the equations and calculations they may find in they exam, including speed, GPE, work done, F=ma, etc...

This lesson plan outlines a really engaging activity you can run with your learners using Android Tablets and Smartphones. I tried it on an ASUS Eee Pad and it works really well. The Skitch App lets your learners take and edit photos of different situations in which forces affect the shape and motion of the object. The learners can add force arrows and labels. This activity also develops AfL by getting learners to peer assess each others' work by creating quizzes on PhotoPeach.com using the photos they took and edited in Skitch!

This resource is an investigation on Separating Mixtures in the context of an hypothetical theft of the Queen's Diamonds. It was created to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee!

In this lesson plan you will find the SOC codes to import our quiz and our short answer task to your Socrative room. These are great revision activities that you can use with the whole class as starters, plenaries, or to consolidate learning on Atomic Structure! If you are not familiar with Socrative, watch the video tutorial! It really is a great Web 2.0 tool!

This is a really engaging resource that develops learners' thinking and team work skills. The pupils work in groups to solve the insurance case of a man who hit and killed a cow with his car. Was the man drunk, or was it the cow's fault for appearing suddenly on the road? The learners can get to the solution only when a vital piece of information has been given by the teacher half way through the task. Your learners will enjoy this, but be prepared, because it is a challenging task!

This resource shows the progression from Kingdoms to Domains in the Taxonomy of living things.

This really engaging game is a tribute to the Queen's Jubilee. Play guards and thieves in a race against time. Will you be the thief, or the guard? A fast paced quiz that allows you to play two different teams and show their progress simultaneously in PowerPoint. Topics range from covalent and ionic bonds to properties of metals, etc...

This resource explains in detail why different elements emit light of different colours/spectra. There are some useful questions and animations for learners to consolidate their understanding of this topic.

This activity give the opportunity to learn about graphs in a very interactive and kinaesthetic way. It is an adaptation of Anne Goldsworthy's great work on graphs from her book Getting to grips with graphs.

This worksheet help learners to visualise the difference between velocity and acceleration.
