Just what you need for your next Science experiment! On this worksheet, students will need to record the equipment and ingredients required to make salt crystals, the method they used to make them and observational drawings recorded once per week. I created this worksheet to use with my Year 2 students during our Science unit on Rocks. My students loved this activity and especially liked how they could add food colouring to get different coloured salt crystals! Just a word of warning to ensure that all of your students create a super-saturated solution (to the point where no more salt can dissolve in the water), otherwise you’re at risk of getting some very disappointed little faces! I also included a WALT (We Are Learning To) and Success Criteria at the top of the worksheet. Hope you find it helpful!

Ready-to-go editable slides for your students to See Think Feel & Wonder about the topic of Climate Change! The prep is all done for you - simply assign the Google Slides to your students on Google Classroom and your students will be all set to go with thought-provoking picture prompts and tables to record their responses. Easy! If you’re looking for an engaging way to introduce a new topic to your students, ‘See Think Feel Wonder’ is the way to go! It’s a way to spark discussions and unearth students’ prior knowledge and perceptions. The aim is to encourage students to dig deeper than just surface-level observations and GET CURIOUS about the world around them. The pictures in this resource include: Transport, deforestation, farming, bush fires, glacier melting, factory pollution and protest for climate change.

Show students the Google Slides and model how to fill in the ‘See Think Feel Wonder’ charts, ensuring that you are specific about your personal expectations of length/quality of responses. Make the slides available for students to complete independently through the ‘Create an Assignment’ function on Google Classroom (explained below). Look at the assignments once they have been submitted by your students and use this information to identify prior knowledge, misconceptions and possible areas to explore further in following lessons. If you haven’t used the ‘Create an Assignment’ function in Google Classroom before, you can check out instructions on Google support. There are also a bunch of videos out there you can watch on Youtube if that’s easier for you! The most important thing is that when you first create the assignment, you select ‘Make a copy for each student’. This means that your students will all get their own copy of the slides with their name added to the document title. You and the student will be able to edit their copy of the document and, importantly, your students will not be able to edit your original copy of the slides (yes, I have made this mistake before!). Please note: When you purchase this resource, you will download a PDF which gives you access to the Editable Google Slides. After clicking the link, you will be prompted to ‘Make a Copy’ of the resource which will automatically save to your personal Google Drive. Please ensure that you are signed into your Google account to enable this. Enjoy! Be purposeful teachers Who are in control Feel inspired And know they’ve done enough. @atm.teaching

Launch into learning about climate change with this set of picture prompts! This resource comes with 10 thought-provoking pictures as well as a recording worksheet for students. If you’re looking for an engaging way to introduce a new topic to your students, ‘See Think Feel Wonder’ is the way to go! Use this activity to spark discussion and explore students’ prior knowledge and perceptions. The aim is to encourage students to dig deeper than just surface-level observations and GET CURIOUS about the world around them. My favourite way to use this in class is as a Bus Stop or Carousel activity. For this, you’ll want to print off the photos (A4 or A3-sized) and spread them out around the classroom. Split students into small groups and get them to move between each of the stations, discussing and recording their thoughts. Post-it-notes are a great way for students to record their ideas anonymously and can later be collated to guide a whole class discussion. If you’d like students to record their responses for their workbooks, I’ve included a template for you to use at the end of this resource. I’ve also included some headings which you can print off to create a wall display alongside the picture prompts and student responses.
