Everything you need for a lesson on insulation that incorporates work on calculating means and drawing conclusions. Students carry out an investigation on insulation material using different materials around beakers of hot water.

Students cut out the shapes and then match the dates to the event. Good research activity or can be used alongside Exploring Science 7 book.

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

For use with Thermal Transfer. A set of labels to be printed off with student targets. I use these as a marking aid for target setting at the end of each topic. Students then use the following lesson to do the individual target tasks that have been set. Ofsted sorted!

Lesson 2 can be found here http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Forces-Yr-7-Less-2-Friction-6347935/ The first lesson of this SoW, follow the link for lesson 2. Designed to encourage students to work with peers and consists of 3 similar, but differentiated activities and is great for a mixed ability or setted groups. The lesson plan is detailed enough to give all the information you need. I usually use this as a the introduction to year 7 Forces.

This lesson is based on the UPD8 activity surrounding the crash of Richard Hammond's dragster. Ready to go just access the crash video from youtube via the link. Students of all abilities find it very engaging.

Based on a feedback task for the Jan 2012 exam. Students given an incorrect answer and mark scheme which they use to make corrections and then write a model answer. Answers attached.

Set of problems, in context, with a step-by step guide on how to solve and balance. Answers attached so students can peer assess.

This activity is in the style of a takeaway menu and caters for all students from level 3 -8. Students are given the Information Sheet and Takeaway Menu. They then choose any starter, main and dessert to complete independently. cressida-bowden takes credit for the solar system cards http://www.tes.co.uk/ResourceDetail.aspx?storyCode=6073029 and the takeaway menu format credit to @teachertoolkit

Students match the problem to the correct equation and enter the relevant number on the grid. Students will know if their answers are all correct because all of the rows and columns total the number 39 (see the answer sheet). Particularly useful for those who need some extra help with unpicking physics questions.

Students decide which SOLO level they are at and choose a partner of similar level. They then complete the activity set for that level and continue with the tasks of a higher level. Set up 2 workstations, one with the equipment for practical - trundle wheel, tape and stopclock, and another with the hexagons activity.

A lesson plan based on the #7e method and using SOLO taxonomy to enable deep learning. Differentiated and ready to go - very student lead.

This is based on the VERY successful #takeaway format where students can choose their activity from a fully differentiated choice. They need to choose a starter, main and desert but they can chop and change as they choose eg. they can choose an easy starter, harder main and medium difficulty desert. Ideally this should take them about 45 minutes to complete. Students will need access to textbooks or the internet. I give them the Exploring Science Text but any will be fine.

A short activity designed for BTec but could easily be used for lower/middle ability groups learning to calculate Kinetic Energy and Change in GPE.

This is a checklist adapted from the new AQA physics spec. I use it as a marking aid at the end of the topic and tick off the outcomes achieved. They are then given reflection (D.I.R.T.) time and assessed again. My students are finding these exceptionally useful.

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.

A giant wordsearch suitable for end of term activities. Reinforces keywords. Suitable for Yr 9 to Yr 11

Suitable for foundation /SEN/ EAL students. READING AGE FOR ALL TEXT (using Flesch-Kincade): 11 YEARS + This is best used with this text (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/foundation-text-on-dna-and-the-genome-11801021) that summarises and simplifies the core ideas, as well as a worksheet that can besimply folded into an interactive resource (video demonstrates how). Core ideas covered - what is DNA? - What are genes? - What are chromosomes? - What is a genome? -Why does understanding the genome matter?

A piece of text designed as a help sheet / revision sheet on transverse waves and related calculations.

Two puzzles I created to help revision with Homeostasis. Tarsia software can be downloaded free of charge from Hermitech Laboratories.
