Seating Planner - Science Classroom

(0)
Seating plans are great tool to help you learn the names of your students and sit them according to the data you’ve been given for your students. This great resource is designed to be used as a seating planner for a typical science classroom. Simply pick the layout which best matches your room and then customise the slide. You can then then copy and paste the slide to create a set for your timetable. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a Mircosoft PowerPoint which includes eight slides and a title page. Each slide has a standard science classroom layout. On each table there are two name boxes. Simply delete the text and add your pupils names. Please see previews for more information. The last two slides offer advice on where to sit students based upon research on ‘attention zones’ and the amount of information students retain. When moving the tables around your template, it sometimes easier to group them together. Once complete, you can beam your new seating plan on your IWB to help you learn their names and so that everyone knows where they are sitting. Kind Regards Roy
Card Sort  - Digestive System

Card Sort - Digestive System

(0)
This great interactive activity has been designed as a consolidation or revision activity with GCSE or A Level Students studying the digestive system. It is aimed at middle to higher ability students, although with support it could be used with KS3 or lower ability students. The card sort can be used in a number of different ways, but I generally get my students to at first cut out or colour code the heading cards and then sort the matching information cards on the digestive system. They then share their answers and we briefly review their answers at this stage. In the next stage of the lesson, I then ask them then organise the information into the correct columns in their books to show how the digestive system works. If necessary we might again review their answers before we stick the cards down. Finally, I then ask them to create and produce their own revision flash cards using the information from the card sort and the main class text book. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a two page Word Document which can be edited and customised for your students. It contains instructions, a learning objective, 6 heading cards and 31 information which can be sorted to decribe how the digestion system works. I have also uploaded a two page Word Document - Card Sort Digestion Answers for you to display the answers on the board. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: Human Digestive System Can You Describe: How the human digestion system works? Can you Explain: How the digestive system breaks down large molecules of food so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream? Can You Create: A set of GCSE revision flash cards on the digestive system. If you like this resource then please check out our SMSC Science card sorts on a range of ethical to topics. Our aim is to produce high quality resources for no more than the price of a good cup of coffee, whilst still rewarding our contributors with the living wage. We are therefore not the cheapest, but all our resources have been quality assured and field tested in the classroom.

These fun and interactive card sorts have been designed to explore medical ethic issues linked to the science curriculum. They can be purchased on their own or as part of a discounted bundle. These card sorts are great for the full range of ability and are designed to help promote debate and discussion of these difficult topics. You can cut them out and put them into an envelope for students to sort or you can get them to cut, sort and stick them into their books. Failing that they can create a key or use highlighters and stick the information into their books. Whenever possible, I have linked in videos that are suitable for classroom use that cover both sides of the debate and can be previewed alongside our resources. Everything is supplied in Microsoft Word and can be easily customized to suit your students . For more information, please click on each resource. Tes paid licence
