Footprints-Science - Quality animations for excellence in Science

Home Page

Footprints-Science have carefully produced 1000+ quality Powerpoint slides with interactive science animations to assist teachers in teaching Key Stage 3 Science, GCSE Core Science and GCSE Additional Science.

Our Curriculum Online registered products are perfect for interactive whiteboards because they include;

	Quality interactive Flash animations - easy to understand and easy to use (they can be paused at any point).
	Drag and drop labelling – marked immediately (there is no need to click on a ‘check answer’ box)
	Large, colourful graphics
	Interactive wordsearches
	Interactive quizzes – to test understanding of the subject (they include multiple choice and true/false questions)

GCSE science animation to show gas exchange in alveoli. This is just one of 450 slides on the Biology CD-ROM

Science is seeing

Most concepts in Science involve the student’s imagination to see the scientific principle and to understand it. With these animations they will be able to see and understand difficult concepts with comparative ease.

Footprints-Science : Life Processes & Living Things - Sample slides

Breathing animation -An interactive animation to show why we breathe in and out.	Blood animation - An interactive animation to show the processes involved in clotting blood.	Starch in leaf animation - A Key Stage 3 Science animation to show the practical steps involved in testing a leaf for starch.	Food groups drag and drop - A sample slide to show the 7 food groups that are needed as part of a balanced diet. This is a drag & drop exercise.	Kidney animation - An interactive animation which zooms in on a nephron in the kidney. We see the processes of ultra filtration and selective re-absorption.
Fertilisation animation - An interactive animation which shows how a sperm fertilizes an egg in the oviduct and how the resulting zygote develops into an embryo in the uterus.	DNA drag and drop - A drag & drop exercise to replicate a strand of DNA using complimentary nucleotides.	Cells drag and drop - A sample slide to show the key parts of animal and plant cells.	Fossils animation - An animation showing how fossils are formed.	The Ear animation - A drag & drop exercise to help students understand and remember the structure of the human ear.
Footprints-Science : Materials & their properties - Sample slides

Atomic structure animation - A sample slide to show the locations of protons, electrons and neutrons in an atom.	Periodic Table interactive activity - An interactive activity. Pass the cursor over an element to reveal the electron arrangements within an atom.	Fractional distillation animation - An animation to show how crude oil is separated into fractions.	Neutralisation animation - A sample slide which shows the reaction of an acid with an alkali.	States of matter animation - An interactive animation to show how the particles are arranged in solids, liquids and gases. The animation also shows how the particles behave as the substance changes phase.
Ionic bonding animation - An interactive animation to show how metal and non-metal atoms form ions and the resulting ionic bond.	Mass number animation - A sample slide which shows the mass number as the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.	Exothermic animation - An interactive animation to show why energy is released during an exothermic reaction.	Rock Cycle drag and drop - An interactive animation to show how two liquids can be separated by distillation.	pH scale animation - An interactive animation which scrolls through the pH scale (coloured according to the colour change for universal indicator).
Footprints-Science : Physical Processes - Sample slides

Phases of Moon animation - An interactive animation showing how the Moon’s phases change as it orbits the Earth.	Power station animation - An animation showing the key parts of a coal-fired power station.	Heat movement animation - An animation to show the ways in which heat is transferred.	Forces animation - An interactive animation to show how unbalanced and balanced forces affect the speed of an object.	Seasons animation - An animation showing how the tilt of the Earth causes the seasons.
Planets animation - A simple animation showing the orbits of the nine planets around the Sun (not to scale!).	Dispersion animation - An animation showing what happens to white light as it passes through a glass prism.	Detecting radiation animation -An animation showing how ionizing radiation (e.g. alpha particles) are detected using a Geiger-muller tube.	Space quiz - An interactive quiz with 8 questions to test students understanding at the end of the Solar System powerpoint slideshow.	Electric Bell animation - An animation to show how an electromagnet is used in an electric bell.
Footprints-Science : Coursework slides
Definitions - This slide shows the key words and definitions that students should know for their coursework. Click on any word to bring up the definition.	Introduction - Use this slide to introduce the investigation to the students. Talk about why the bubbles are appearing.	Variables -Start by discussing all the things which could affect the investigation. List them in the control variables section.	Variables (2) - Independent variables can be of four types :	Planning- This slide shows the planning behind a simple experiment. Scroll down to see the full instructions.
Results - This slide shows how the independent and dependent variables should be recorded in a results table	Graph - This slide shows how to plot points onto a line graph (since the independent variable was continuous) and how to draw a line of best fit	Line graph (blank) - A template for showing students how to plot points onto a line graph. Fill in the x and y axes with labels and scales as appropriate	Line of best fit - This slide shows how lines of best fit should be drawn	Bar chart (blank) - A template for showing students how to plot points onto a bar chart. Fill in the x and y axes with labels and scales as appropriate
