A comprehensive and enjoyable introduction to atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, the periodic table, chemical symbols, formulae and naming compounds. What’s Covered All atoms of one element are the same but are different from the atoms of other elements. Atoms combine to form molecules. If combining atoms are from the same element, a molecule of an element is formed. If combining atoms are from different element, a molecule of a compound is formed. An element contains only one type of atom A compound contains two or more different types of atom. Elements are listed in the periodic table. Each element has its own symbol. Symbols can be the first letter of the name (capital), two letters from the name (capital then lowercase) or taken from the Latin name of the element. The formula of a compound tells you how many atoms of each element are in it. Working out the number of atoms of each element in a compound from its formula. Naming compounds with the groups CO3, SO4, NO3. Compounds containing only two atoms end in ide. Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3.

This action-packed lesson introduces current as a flow of electrons and explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using up energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). The food as a source of energy is then replaced by the battery, the diver by the electron and the rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The practical explores the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Objective To know that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery. To know and explain how metal ions cause resistance. To know and explain the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness. To explain why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor. To know the conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit.

A comprehensive and enjoyable explanation of the relationship between mass and weight. 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 action-packed and enjoyable distance learning or home learning introduction to current as a flow of electrons. It explains the relationship between current, voltage and resistance using the analogy of a diver using energy obtained from food and giving off heat as they swim through pipes filled either with water (low resistance) or water and rocks (high resistance). Food as a source of energy is replaced by a battery, diver by the electron and rocks by metal ions. Both scenarios are animated in the PowerPoint. This explanation is then extended to compare the resistance of long, short, thick and thin wires. The simulated practical explores conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. There is also a short digital test which can be returned to the teacher. Objective To know and explain: that current is a flow of electrons through a conductor when they are given energy or pushed by a voltage from the battery. how metal ions cause resistance. the comparative resistance of wires according to length and thickness. why electrons lose more heat passing through a high resistance conductor. conditions needed for current to flow in a circuit. Resources An animated PowerPoint guides the student through the lesson by: explaining how to use distance learning effectively; explaining how to use this resource; explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them; providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work. Two worksheets, two cut-out activities and a word search (answers in the PowerPoint). Foldable and cut-out activity for students to record and organise learning. Checklist - students assess their progress. Short digital test which can be returned to the teacher. For students without home internet /computer a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school. Ways to Use this Resource Upload PowerPoint and worksheets to school intranet. Students print their own worksheets.
