This introductory lesson leads students to define ionizing radiation for themselves. They then carry out a scavenger hunt (Print off information sheets and put around classroom) to collect information on the three types of ionizing radiation. This lesson also includes learning checks. Worked well with a year 9 low ability class.

This is an introductory lesson where students use their prior knowledge of atomic mass (Protons and neutrons) to create their own definition for an isotope. They are then guided on how to calculate relative atomic masses from relative abundances of isotopes. Worked well with a middle ability year 9 class.

This lesson encourages students to come up with ideas about why salt is placed on icy roads. This get students thinking of a concrete example of how pure and impure substances differ. To reinforce this concept further, students conduct a simple practical where they measure the temperature of melting ice with and without salt. All worksheets are included within the powerpoint.

This lesson is based on the new GCSE spec, but was designed for a low ability year 9 class. It breaks Newton's second law up in to more digestible chunks which are learning checked throughout. Students are also encouraged to re-arrange the F=MA formula and tested on this skill. Save yourself sometime and grab a bargain!

I taught this lesson to a low ability year 9 class and it is based on the new GCSE spec. It has a really scaffolded worksheet included in the powerpoint which you could adapt to challenge higher ability students. It worked well at getting the students o think logically and work independently, looking at real life examples of acceleration that they could relate to. Please see a copy of the worksheet in the cover image. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

I planned this lesson for a low ability year 9 class and as such it has a built in worksheet that is scaffolded to allow all student to make progress (this can easily be adapted accordingly).

I taught this lesson to a low ability year 9 class and it is based on the new GCSE spec. It has a really scaffolded worksheet included in the powerpoint which you could adapt to challenge higher ability students (See cover image). Once students have figured out how to calculate speed on their own using the worksheet and the guided questions they carry out an experiment to apply their new knowledge. This come in the form of a trolley and ramp experiment. The students investigate what happens to the speed of the trolley when the height. of the ramp is increased. We are lucky enough to have the equipment in my school but it could easily be carried out with a toy car and a plank of wood raised by books. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

Based on the new GCSE spec, this lesson worked really well for a year 9 low ability class. It is heavily scaffolded and because of this enabled each student to reach the two objectives of the lesson which were: Core- Identify vector and scalar quantities Challenge- Explain the difference between a scalar and vector quantity It included plenty of on the go assessment to check where each student is at different parts of the lesson. There is a built in worksheet (see cover picture) that can be built upon throughout the whole lesson and means students can work independently a lot of the time.

This assembly powerpoint takes a twist on the idea of setting a new years resolution, by hanging on to the idea that everybody wants to be successful. It then looks at what successful people do to ensure they are successful with school based examples that students can relate to. If students haven't mad new years resolutions this assembly will inspire them to and if they have then it may give them some more to work towards. This assembly lasted 15 minutes and went down well with the students.

In this lesson students apply their knowledge of calculating empirical formula by reacting known masses of magnesium with unknown masses of oxygen to make a known mass of magnesium oxide which they can then use along with relative atomic masses to calculate the ratio of oxygen to magnesium and in turn the empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain!

This lesson introduces student to the concepts of relative atomic mass and relative formulae and uses this as a platform to introduce calculation of empirical formulae. The calculation of empirical formulae is introduced through a methodical tabled approach which students can master readily and then attempt with out the framework. They then get to practice their calculation on a made up compound made of sweets. If they get the empirical formula correct they get to eat the sweets. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This is a fully differentiated lesson which assesses where students are in real time during the lesson, encouraging them to reflect on their own practice and decide on what worksheet they will need to complete. The lower ability sheet is for completion with the teacher and gets students to continue with a pattern and then decide on the pattern to pattern rule and frames it enough for them to create nth term expressions. It also includes really challenging pattern sequences fro the most able to allow them to be stretched. All worksheets have been built in and answers are provided. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

In this lesson students are challenged at 3 levels (lower, middle, higher) which is assessed throughout the lesson. Once the baseline has been assessed there differentiated worksheets for the lower ability to work with you on, a framed middle ability sheet to give them more practice on their own and a higher ability sheet to stretch the most able. Everything is built into this lesson, so grab yourself a bargain and save some time.

This is an introductory lesson to the concept of conservation of mass where students investigate what happens to the mass of water when salt is added to it. They then have to try and explain why the mass goes up despite not being able to see the salt anymore. Self contained lesson that really got the students engaged. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This is an introductory lesson to chromatography and the term pure. Students create a chromatogram of their own pen and compare it to others. They discover real life applications of this technique.

This lesson is aimed at KS3 to help to develop students investigation skill where they have to identify and categorise the different variables in the experiment, choose the control variables and explain why. The practical is simple and fun where they see how much stomach acid (HCl) branded and unbranded heartburn tablets neutralised. This is a self contained lessons with all instructions and worksheets built in. This will easily last a double period, so grab yourself a bargain and save some time.

I printed these cards of for students with corresponding pages in the Edexcel additional science book (purple one) and got them to answer the questions accordingly and in turn making their own flash cards. They then whole punched the corners and treasury tagged them together. Great little revision resource.

This lesson encourages students to start thinking about continuous and discontinuous data with lots of concrete examples. They plot a human bar graph of favourite colours and then carry out a small experiment investigating how the volume of vinegar added to baking soda alters the amount of foam produced. This easily lasts a double lesson (100minutes) and is a really fun way to get students engaged with graphs. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.
