Designed for introducing your KS3 students to ecosystems and the processes behind seed dispersal including a practical investigation. This lesson plan is fully prepped covering key vocabulary and gives students the opportunity to investigate seed dispersal by wind with a fun lab! What is included: In this file you get the lesson powerpoint and a corresponding keyword list with definitions included, you also get a knowledge organiser to help students throughout the topic. I have left the design simple but editable - this is due to schools in my area having specific requirements around colours and fonts. Seed Dispersal Lab: Students will use the paper helicopter template to investigate sycamore seed dispersal. Paperclips, scissors and a ruler will be useful for the investigation element. Students love decorating their seeds and sticking them in their notes after the experiment! The lesson plan follows the following 4 phase structure: Activate: 6 recall questions designed to get the students either retrieving previous knowledge linked to this or prior topics. These have been designed with my students in mind - they may look different for your students! Model: Set the scene for the lesson and outline key new knowledge. Show students how to approach a question or task. Practice: Give the students opportunities to use the new knowledge provided and attempt the tasks modeled in phase 2. Review: Check students grasp of new concepts with a quick review activity. On the first page of the PowerPoint, there is a link to a Google Drive containing the same resources just in case you teach in a Google school! Please note: This lesson is the second lesson in a topic covering ecosystems. You can get the first lesson for free by clicking the link below: FREE: Lesson 1 - Introduction to Ecosystems Lesson 2 which covers food chains and webs, can be found here.

Do your students get nervous using the Bunsen burner the first time? Maybe you are the teacher start getting anxious knowing there is a lab coming up where Bunsen burners are used! Try out my introduction to Bunsen burners activities - with a lab procedure included. These activities give the students the opportunity to earn a Bunsen burner license, having shown you they can act responsibly and work with confidence when using a Bunsen burner. My students were particularly wary of Bunsen burners, especially after the pandemic, they had very few lab skills. This is a nice way to ease them in, and build their confidence - especially when it comes to changing the type of flame used (to start with my students are terrified of touching the collar on the Bunsen!) By giving them a certificate with their Bunsen license at the end of the lesson, we are showing our students trust and ownership over what they can do in the lab - a big step up in responsibility! So, what exactly do you get included in this resource? Optional booklet front page to print out if you want to present it to students as a booklet. An introduction to the Bunsen with some facts, followed by a diagram to label (words included) – this is scaffolded to also have a version with the first letters to help students out (alternatively you could get them to research the names on a device or show them a labelled image on your whiteboard). Top tips for Bunsen safety followed by a match up activity for the different flame colours produced by the Bunsen. Lab procedure for students to follow in order to get their Bunsen burner license. Bunsen burner license certificate (colour and B&W copy). Answers are included for any activities.

Learn more about the amazing Axolotl with this engaging & fun reading comprehension activity. This activity is designed to get students thinking about the adaptations of the Axolotl and its current conservation status through a simple reading comprehension activity. Included in this resource is: A Lesson plan outlining how I would teach the lesson. Teacher reflection questionnaire - ideal for trainee teachers or as evidence for more experienced teachers about the self-reflective practice. Axolotl fact file (Double-sided). Student worksheet (Double-sided) & includes exit ticket activity. Depending on your students reading age, this could take a whole lesson - it would depend how much you want to stretch the activity. Alternatively you could use it as a shorter, team based activity, getting students to work in pairs to read the content together. Reading comprehension is an important skill for students to master in science. By including interesting and quirky animals, I hope to boost my students love for reading non-fiction. This activity is perfect for home learning as well as face to face teaching.
