For the really able there is also information in the Advanced Higher section of the website under the project section
Here are the resources for the S1 Electricity Topic. There are also many more in the post on ELECTRICITY ONLINE. Click on the link and open the pdf file that you want. The homeworks are highlighted in bold.
S1. introduction to Physics This is the print out of your first Physics lesson. Hopefully you can talk it through with your family and friends and inspire them to study Physics with you. It is based on the Activinspire file used in school.
1. outcomes This is a full list of outcomes that you need to learn for the test at the end of this unit. The outcomes should be stuck into your jotter. You can print another set to make flashcards or for your friends and family to help you revise by testing you.
This is one order that we might be using to go through the course. This means if you miss a lesson then you can use this sheet to find out what you missed and catch up. Remember you need to take responsibility for your learning.
2. intro electricity This is the background to the course. We are going to be treating you like apprentice electricians. If you get through the course then you can make some electrical items for the doll’s house. That information is contained in another post.
2. electrical safety Here is information and websites to help you discover how to be safe around electrical energy. Please discuss this with family and friends so that you don’t put yourselves, family and friends at risk.
The video below comes from the website.
http://www.twothirtyvolts.org.uk/ It is in the Electrical Hazards Section
If you’re caught out in a thunderstorm and you can’t get to a safe place (which is never near a tree anyway), then assume the lightning position given below. Do practice this and be ready for an emergency, but choose your place carefully. You’ll look quite odd! If you’re on a golf course get away from your golf clubs, you can retrieve these later.
3. the atom (homework)2018 This is one of the first bits of homework you will need to complete. Either write out the passage in your jotter and draw a diagram of an atom, or print out the sheet, stick it in your jotter and fill it in.
4a. Static expt sheets These are some of the experiments that you will do in the classroom. Many can be done at home using a comb or a ruler. Try them out with family and friends.
4c. Build a VdG If you enjoyed using the Van der Graaff Generator in school, why not have a go at building your own. In this document we take you through the process step by step in picture form. You must get adult supervision to do this.
see the original link to Bald man on VdG/
5. Conduct insulate faults This contains work we will be covering in class about conductors, insulators, fault finding and resistance.
5. Resistor code With this document you’ll be able to identify the resistance of a resistor marked with a colour code. It is the universal way that resistors are identified.
6. Draw circuit symbols (homework) This is the drawing symbols homework. Either write out the symbols with the * and label them or print out the document and stick it in your jotter. You then need to learn these symbols. If you want to you can record the uses and comments and earn a merit.
6b Symbols only (homework) Drawing symbols homework. This is the homework for those students who find following the full document difficult. It is the cut down version of the sheets above.
7. Meters This tells you information on how to use a multimeter and set it up as an ammeter, voltmeter and ohmmeter. Why not add one to your Christmas present list and help around the house. DO NOT use them with mains electricity though.
7. Meters cut out These diagrams should go into your jotter so that you know how to set up your multimeter.
7. Using Meters 2016 pdf file of the activinspire sheets used in class. There are six slides to a page so you can print out and stick in if you want.
7c. Meters quiz Test your knowledge of meters with this quiz.
8 Drag and Drop Definitions Use this to practice learning your definitions, it is a pdf version of the Activinspire file used in class.
8c. Flashcards VIR If you want to make your own flashcards print these out 16 to a page. That should give you a page of terms and a page of definitions. If you stick the definition on the back then it ought to make great flashcards. Or you can copy and cut out your own. Check the correct definitions in the table below.
8. Find the Definitions This is a literacy task. If you read through the sheets you should find the definitions of 15 out of 16 terms. The one left over on your flashcards is the one not included in the definition sheet.
8f definitions in table Here are the definitions for you to check your answers.
9. Fault finding Often, when you build an electrical circuit, it doesn’t work the first time: here is a list of common mistakes students make so that you can find out why your circuit isn’t working and fix it yourself.
10c. series and parallel model Here is a model to help you understand the topic. It ought to explain series and parallel circuits.
17 revision electricity dominoes (homework)
This is a homework task for you to use to revise what you’ve learned during this block. You ought to be able cut out the 10 dominoes and match them up into a circle, so the answer of the last domino becomes the question for the first domino.
33. fruity batteries Produce some electrical energy from your fruit. Could you do this at home? What is the best fruit and veg and what are the best electrodes?
18.current and voltage in series & parallel Here are a set of results from the current and voltage in series and parallel experiments that you’ll complete in class. You can use these results if you missed the lesson.
18b.V I s&p blank This is a blank version of the current and voltage measurement in series and parallel. Print it off, fill it in and stick it in your jotter after you’ve worked out the four conclusions.
31. Ohms Law For those that have time or who have moved through the course quicker than most, here is an additional practical that you can try for level 4 BGE.
…and for your revision try a few of the following files.
Millionaire S2 elec3 play with a friend or a relative. This is a massive file so might not download for some of you.

Update: 20th August
The Science Faculty have requested that materials for Chemistry and Biology will be hosted on GLOW and here, on the school website.
Make sure that you get your password and username from your Science Teacher.
Sorry if you quite liked the material on here, but I’ve been told to remove it.

Here are the Resources for the Energy and Sound S1 Topic. The first link is the Need to know sheet and can be used to help your child know what might be assessed. The second link is the current power point presentation and you can find older versions further down.
Need to know sheet
Want to know what to revise? Then check over your need to know sheet and make flashcards of all the important information.
We’ve put together an Energy and Sound Topic. First we will look at forms of Energy and energy converters. There will be plenty of opportunities to explore and experiment. Check out the steam engine and workshop, but do follow the teachers’ instructions.
This
Then we will look at waves and sound. I will have to be careful about what I upload here, as there are materials that we have got the licence for in school but not for me to upload here. There is plenty of fun stuff and we hope you will continue exploring more at home. Start finding out where Energy and Sound are important in your everyday lives: but turn down the headphones they are probably permanently damaging your hearing!
Some of you are on to sound levels and drawing sound levels so if you can get on to TEAMS or are at a school in SCOTLAND you ought to have access to the VIRTUAL FLASH LEARNING. In the Intermediate 1 section of Sound and Music you can see these traces.
You can also be involved in the Royal Society Hearing Project. We have been awarded nearly three thousand pounds by the Royal Society to test every students’ hearing for those that want to be involved. We can also check your headphones and see if your music levels are likely to be causing you permanent hearing damage. You can read about it here, in the blog.
