**UPDATED - Suspect list to make the final clue a bit more challenging and get some discussion going around clue 5. **
After the success of the Science related Santa, summer and Easter murder mysteries, I thought I would adapt this for H&SC for use on those last few days in the summer term to go alongside the quizzes or other activities you might do every year.
This mystery follows the murder of Dr. Pepper (I couldn’t help myself!) who was run over by an extremely heavy bed in A&E! There are 20 suspects and 5 clues for teams to solve before gaining access to the final clue, which will allow them to start eliminating suspects.
The clues rely on team work to complete them well within an hour, and require problem solving skills as well. The clues are linked to Health and Social care, as well as some biology, but the main aspect is team work and problem solving.
Students will need the suspect list printed, as well as some of the slides in the PowerPoint to complete this.
There is a leader board so you are able to display the progress of each team. I allow teams to lock in an answer whenever they want, but I won’t tell them if they’re right until the end. They can work on the clues in any order but MUST have completed all 5 before accessing final clues. All answers are provided in the PowerPoint.
Enjoy!
This resource is appropriate for the new Edexcel transition topic in KS3 and also for C1 in KS4. This resource covers properties of metals, the reactivity series, oxidation and reduction, methods of extraction and word equations.
You can make this resource interactive for lower ability, or for revision of C1 in year 11 by following the content on the PowerPoint and having pupils fill in the activity after each stage. The PowerPoint is included and the diagrams match up.
This booklet is set out lesson by lesson. Students can either take this home and do it themselves or you can go through it question by question in class.
There are a variety of differentiated activities and the activities are all different.
Content covered:
Radiation in medicine (PET scans)
Intensity
How eyes work
Lenses and the lens equation
Sight problems
Distance and image height PCA
Reflection
Refraction
Critical angle
Total internal reflection
Using reflection and refraction (ultrasounds)
Resource contains scheme of work with technician notes and specification objectives to be covered (these are from the exam spec). Practical notes to technicians are also included so you know what equipment to order each time.
Lesson 1 - Energy recap from Paper 5 (Topic 3)
Lesson 2 - Work and Power including mini practical
Lesson 3 - Forces affecting each other including mini practical.
Lesson 4 (HIGHER TIER ONLY) - Vector diagrams including a silly example the students will (hopefully) love. Minealways remember the ‘rubber duck lesson’.
Lesson 5 (TRIPLE ONLY) - Turning forces (Moments, levers and gears).
This topic covers the new Edexcel GCSE transition content for KS3 into KS4. This scheme challenges the misconceptions pupils start with/have been taught in the that past and builds upon the fundamental ideas.
Plenty of new models and diagrams to help get the ideas across. Many optional practical ideas, including how to get fruit batteries into your lessons, and a fantastic website link. Very interactive slides, ideal for use with a smart board. I don't have one though and it works just fine!
These lessons have been used in observations and coaching, and have received outstanding comments.
Covers:
- Troubleshooting circuits
- Curren tand Voltage
- Measuring current and voltage
- Series circuits and Parallel circuits
- Resistance
- Potential difference
- Ohms law.
Suitable for KS3 and KS4 chemistry revision on making salts, reactions of acids and states of matter.
Follows the new chemistry Edexcel transition content.
Powerpoint lesson plan available to go with this in the free resources section as I am not the original author of most slides.
Follows the new Edexcel transition scheme of work for science. Crosses over well with the GCSE spec and can be used for revision in year 11. PowerPoint that follows the Health revision map is included. It is possible to do this activity with or without it.
Up to 2 hours of christmas related activities with a fun challenge to appeal to all age groups and abilities.
The first set of activities are fully differentiated, where pupils can chose their challenge. If they complete a lower challenge, they get less points, but there is a first finisher bonus. The choice is theirs. There is also a science reindeer classification key activity.
The second set of activities are a little more crafty with mathematics and symmetry coming in to one of the activities. There are also different challenges for different amounts of points.
Pupils could work individually or alone.
Mind map that covers structure of an atom, electronic configuration, the periodic table and isotopes.
Follows the new Edexcel transition document for chemistry but can be used as C2 topic 1 revision for year 11s. I have both year groups and they appreciate it equally.
Works best on A3 but is readable on A4.
Fully differentiated challenge resource for GCSE and KS3 revision needing minimal input from you!
Pupils can choose their challenge to collect a number of stars over the course of the lesson. The reward they get varies on how many stars they collect. They must create a document proving they have done them!
I also set a question limit. They can swap a star they have already gained if they want to ask me for help. It is a revision exercise, and they have covered the material previously.
A step by step guide for year 7 up to year 11 revision on how to write word equations for neutralisation. It includes naming salts for hydrochloric, sulphuric and nitric acid and all the general equations.
Four 6 mark writing frames for Edexcel P3 topic 1-4.
Could be used as a homework or as revision for the upcoming physics exam!
Topics are:
Endoscopes and other methods (fluoroscopes, gamma, x-ray)
Sight problems
Collisions
ECGs
3 physics (P2) 6 mark questions and writing frames for 3 past paper questions from Edexcel. Mix of higher and foundation tier. Mark schemes included.
Questions content:
Application of knowledge about alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
Kinetic energy graph with conservation of energy and energy transfers.
Process of nuclear fission of Uranium 235 and the energy transfers in a nuclear power station.
Can be printed back to back to be set as revision homework. Can be used as class activity.
These were used on a revision day and were very well received by pupils.
Revision PowerPoint for use with a mixed ability year 11 class. Covers all objectives from the Edexcel Additional Physics topic 5 on Radioactivity.
All activities mentioned on the PowerPoint are on the activity document, where pupils can work at it after you have covered/revised the content. There is also exam practice on the document.
Free resource made up of bits and bobs with free licences. I do not take credit for some of the content.
Simply add in your chosen year paper and mark scheme. You can choose a tier and only have one. Otherwise, it is a bit of a tree!
Writing frame to help pupils in KS3 or bottom set GCSE groups get to grips with how to write parts of an investigation.
Pink sections are the higher tier sections. Pupils can work up to these.
Second topic of the new Edexcel physics transition module for KS3/GCSE.
This topic covers the Kinetic theory model, including density of solids, liquids and gases.
There is also a lesson on Absolute zero, which is currently covered in the P3 Extension unit. This powerpoint could be used for triple award groups.
All worksheets come with answers and are fully differentiated.
