This was a CPD session on the importance of modelling for the students. The presentation focuses on a case study that I ran over three lessons using model answers rather than personalised feedback. The CPD session also includes the evidence for it.

The lesson is aimed at year 8-9 and focuses on efficiency . The lesson encourages the student to work out the efficiency calculation on their own before testing their understanding, the student then complete different tasks (high quality differentiation) to best suit their ability. the lesson finishes with an exam questions and exit ticket.

The lesson looks at the 3 methods of heat transfer: radiation, convection and conduction. This is done via demonstrations and discussion. With a double bubble the students take the ideas of convection and radiation and compare and contrast them before they write a GCSE style 6 mark questions, this is differentiated via a hinge point question. The lessons concludes with an exit ticket.

On the Wasted Years report recommendations this is the second lesson in a scheme of work that looks at preparing Year 6 students for secondary science. It is written by a secondary science teacher for the cross phase development program being run 2016-17. The spec is based on the interim assessment framework (IAF). The lesson starts by reviewing previous learning before introducing the skills focused practical, adhering to the IAF. The students then record the results on a table before producing a graph. The lesson finishes with a structured conclusion to ensure that the learning has been achieved.

This is a revision resource that encourages independence and learning of key outcomes. This would take a couple of lessons to complete as there are multiple tasks to improve understanding.

Practical based lesson embedding graph skills.

Well resourced lesson specific to Edexcel CC1-CC2.

Well differentiated lesson recapping melting points and mixtures.

This is aimed at the lower ability students with a focus on key facts and easy win knowledge.

This resource targets student action, there is some instruction and then multiple opportunities for students to practice this key GCSE concept.

Practical based lesson focussing on table drawing skills and lab saftey.

practical based lesson investigating chromatography and RF values.

Practical lesson that covers filtration.

To establish baseline knowledge all students have the opportunity to sit this assessment and remediate knowledge gaps from key stage 3. This is not a standalone resource and should be purchased alongside others in the series.

The lesson looks at the development of the modern periodic table, this includes the story of Mendeleev. It helps if you have access to the edexcel textbooks as the copy of the page is not of good quality.

Here is a SOLO taxonomy task that scaffolds learning around the relationship between atomic number and the periodic table.

This lesson on isotopes covers the basic theory and then assesses understanding with a GCSE 6 mark question.
