'Following instructions' activity

FREE

I used this as a competition whilst working at a school in Peru (hence the title). Can be used as an introduction to writing a scientific method or just as a fun little competition at the end of term etc. Students have to do exactly what the instructions say using a piece of paper.Check out more of my resources at www.mrsimonporter.wikispaces.com

Converging lenses and ray diagrams

£2.00
(0)
Converging lenses, principal focus etc and drawing ray diagrams to find the position of images. Also includes a practical activity before the ray diagrams so students can see what the results actually mean. I have a running joke in my class about not liking dogs hence the questions on the worksheet. Please fell free to edit!!

Sound multiple-choice questions

£3.00
(4)
To be used as a useful summary after students have looked at the speed of sound in different substance. The multiple-choice format is useful for those of you preparing for these style exams (Cambridge IGCSE). The 'write your own' multiple choice questions at the end are surprisingly difficult to do, and are an excellent link to sentence structure/grammar etc.

Images in mirrors

£3.00
(5)
Written for Cambridge IGCSE Physics, this follows on from a lesson (also uploaded) on the law of reflection. A number of slides gradually build up how an image is formed. Suitable questions from the textbook you use can be substituted at the end. The students practice mirror writing and at the start bof the lesson consider their own reflections (this discussion could take place in groups) Check out more of my resources at www.mrsimonporter.wikispaces.com
