A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off).
Lesson 1:
Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them.
Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work.
Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life.
Lesson 2:
Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'.
Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers.
Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive.
Lesson 3:
Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements.
Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene.
Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
CC2d lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE looking at Distillation. Lesson includes, what distillation is, equipment for distillation, what fractional distillation is, the equipment needed for it and when it is used commercially. There is also a second lesson included on the CC2d Core Practical- investigating inks.
*All of CC2 can be found together at the following link (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-cc2-11319203)*
CC3a lesson from the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) looking at the structure of an atom.
There is a task within the lesson that requires the use of the ActiveTeach worksheets but could be replaced with other worksheets, and a link to an ActiveTeach video which again could be replaced with other videos about atomic structure.
CC14c lesson from the new Edexcel combined science GCSE (9-1) all about catalysts.
The lesson includes what catalysts are, investigating catalysts, catalysts in industry, catalytic converters and enzymes.
