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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

A lesson ready to go designed as the first lesson of the topic. Workstation circus to discover the properties of s,l,g. Followed by a short worksheet directly related. For those using SOLO taxonomy the levels and homework are clearly identified. Homework labels just need to be printed and students can select the level they wish to do. Multistructural - Lower ability Relational - standard Extended abstract - higher

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

This activity is designed to force deeper thinking at all levels, forcing students of all abilities to make links between concepts they have encountered over the course of the topic. This is a highly engaging activity for all which draws on both literacy and content. Each word has a point value ascribed to it, depending on level of difficulty. Students then construct sentences linking as many of the words as they can in a single sentence. They tally up their word score and then move on to producing another sentence. etc. Instructions on how to use the activity with a set of dice is also included. Always ensure that students have access to glossaries or text books so that they can challenge themselves to find the meaning of new terminology or concepts. This is best carried out in pairs, where students can discuss and share ideas. This has been designed specifically for the new GCSE Physics content and has been used for the first time with Year 9 in 2016. Some of the words/concepts include: Eureka Can, Solid, Sublimate, Vibrate, Liquid, Gas, melt, energy, inter-molecular etc.
