This activity can be used in a variety of ways. Students can be given the puzzle and activity sheets or just the activity. Alternatively the company "pin board" can be used as an excellent revision tool or starting point for notes. Another way in which to use it is to ask lower achieving students to complete an exam question using the board.

P1.7 SEN Puzzle and questions on efficiency calculations

(0)
This resource is a puzzle that needs to be cut out and rearranged to make sense of the text. It forces students to engage with what they have learned in a kinaesthetic way. Once completed students should be better equipped to do simple efficiency calculations.

Mass and Weight Jigsaw Differentiated

Fully differentiated. This resource comes with 4 puzzles, all identical, but with a varying number of pieces. I have included the images, and text so that you can use them in whichever way you see fit. This activity is a piece of text on mass and weight that has been jumbled up into a puzzle. I have printed and laminated mine, however I often use paper copies with lower achievers so that the can be glued into their books. Some ideas on how to use this resource High achievers - remove 1 or 2 of the text pieces of the puzzle. Students make the puzzle and then have to improvise for the missing piece of text by completing the text using their own knowledge.

Following the Specification of the new curriculum as at 2017, the lesson objectives are as follows: To understand the relationship between mass and weight, that mass is a property of an object and how to calculate weight using the equation W=mxg. The resource has a short introduction to mass and weight and has 2 activity sheets, one for low achievers and another for higher. I have included the .jpg files of each in case you wanted to put them in any other formats.
Evaporation and Condensation - Differentiated  "Survival" Activity

Evaporation and Condensation - Differentiated "Survival" Activity

(0)
Objectives: To understand how evaporation is linked to thermal energy transfer To understand how to change the rate of evaporation/condensation I have found this works best in small groups where students can discuss ideas. The activity should take about 40 minutes and then another 20 minutes for peer assessment. Activity overview: Give higher achievers a text book and lower achievers the accompaning text. I usually allow students to answer whichever questions they wish but generally find that they attempt most. Students have found themselves stranded on a deserted island with no food, shelter, water or fuel. They have discovered that the island’s inhabitants are only too happy to supply them with the essentials, providing that they share their knowledge of science with them. Each question asked has point values. At the end of the journey students count up how many points they have accumulated to see how well they were able to survive!
