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.

I found this document after a long search on the internet. It dates back to early 2000 and has the complete breakdown of topics, learning objectives, outcomes, possible activities and teaching notes. Published by the QCA.

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

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.

Although based on the Go Science Scheme it is pretty generic and can easily be modified.

Who is it for? This is an assessment based upon the new national curriculum on acids and alkalis suitable for KS3 but could also be used at KS4 for a pre-topic assessment. What is included? This resource is a carefully designed, 30 question multiple choice quiz, that assesses depth of knowledge. There are two ways to use the resource. Firstly, it can be manually marked within a couple of minutes, by students. Secondly, it can be marked using the free Quick Key App for android and IOS. Data is collected within seconds using the teacher's mobile phone or tablet, and results visible immediately as well as consolidated in an Excel Spreadsheet. The data in this form is exceptionally useful, teachers are able to assess progress in a matter of minutes, and address misconceptions immediately. I've been using this app for a very long time and can't recommend it highly enough. Feedback tasks can be generated in either little report forms or as a whole class spread sheet that can be RAG rated by outcome. See the video tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0XcUHc09Qc Info on the app can be found here: https://get.quickkeyapp.com/teachers/ Feedback Tasks related to this assessment will be available by 14 November and can be found at my shop. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis

This is the National Strategies Framework document for Science published under Labour Govt. Very useful for KS3 planning.

Designed as a tool to help teachers with marking. When coming across a student in need of some help with best fit lines simply stick one of these small 'how to' exemplars. 6 per A4 sheet.

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.

Resources contain a foldable activity, bingo cards, assessment and a card sort Suited for the disengaged lower achieving classes. Get them hooked - stealth learning!

All answers included This resource contains editable documents that include: a simply worded 2 page text with all relevant information included and analysis activity in the form of a card sort/Venn diagram spot the mistake with correction activity differentiated comprehension activity based on the text provided Objective: To gain a deeper understanding of how the periodic table developed, why Newlands’ law of octaves was rejected and Mendeleev’s idea of periodic law accepted by the scientific community. Previous knowledge: Limited knowledge of the periodic table and and chemical symbols

Objectives: To understand the conservation of energy To understand the meaning of endothermic and exothermic To give examples of endothermic and exothermic reactions To distinguish between exothermic and endothermic reactions. A range of activities are included in this resource. The information Gap activity is probably my favorite as it engages students and provides them with instant feedback. The resource includes: Information Gap, Questions and Answers, Matching Pairs, Cloze x2, Spelling x2 . Visit me here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis

Written for Go Science but can be used with any scheme to improve vocabulary.

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.

Lesson and resources for Applied Science.

Ready to go lesson, everything included even the homework labels. Lesson is very student driven and is based on Learning Logs to provide evidence of progress.
