Attached is a presentation and worksheet for students to complete. Activity 1 requires AQA Applied Science books but is not entirely necessary. You will require a class set of 2p pieces and some pipettes if you wish to carry out the investigation.

Lesson and resources for Applied Science.

Puzzle I created to help students get to grips with the HSW terminology. Tarsia software can be downloaded free of charge from Hermitech Laboratories. I would suggest that the attached glossary be given to lower ability to students. This activity should take about 20 minutes. The print maybe a bit small on one or two of the triangles so you may want to enlarge to to A3.

Use as a starter/through the door activity. Helps students to track progress during the lesson.

Use as a settler/starter activity. Students can also refer to the outcomes and track progress.

Apologies, this is a crude jigsaw but it works very well as an activity with SEN or low ability students. It is a 2 page jigsaw puzzle based upon a diagram of the Earth and atmosphere. Very easy to put together, but forces students to interact with the diagram. To extend you could ask students to write a short paragraph to explain.

This is a lesson plan and associated worksheets suitable for foundation level students. For those unfamiliar with the graphic organiser, once students have filled in their sections they need to use their notes to compile a piece of text. YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO OXBOX CHEMISTRY BOOKS.

This was originally written as a cover lesson but it works equally well as a literacy activity. YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO OXBOX CHEMISTRY TEXT BOOKS.

Use the presentation and the lesson plan as an overview. 3 different worksheets (best printed as booklets) for different groups (struggling scientists are the lower ability groups). Lesson starts off with the most fabulous colour changing catalytic reaction showing that catalysts do not change or get used up in the reaction. I found it best to print these in small booklet form.

This is a ready to go lesson - no books required only a worksheet. Learning journey and learning outcomes identified.
