Covers every topic in C2. These google forms are designed to allow you to either print or mail direct to you students and they can self assess what they know against the required specification. When completed either within the email or in an internet browser (works perfectly on mobile devices) the evaluation from the class is sent directly back to you where a breakdown of the responses is built into the form. (responses - summary of responses). **UPDATE** Google form versions can be accessed through the word document. Each form only takes pupils a few minutes to fill out and are much quicker than traditional Red/amber/green self assessments. Ideally complete after the lesson is taught, at the beginning of any revision period and at the end of a revision session.

The popular word game: now as a starter in your classroom. Use this as a starter on the whiteboard or as a competition between your classes through the half term. This is my bell task for all sets with a prize at the end of term for the set with the highest total score. Interactive, all pupils want to take part, good as a literacy and numeracy (calculating the scores) starter. Applicable to all subjects not just science. Includes printable tiles (I laminate mine and have sticky magnets on the back so they can work on my magnetic whiteboard). Powerpoint and PDF version included, keynote version on the jump link for OS X users - this works especially well. mrmortonscience

A simple card sort for al the different stages in an investigation write up: Diagram , apparatus, hypothesis, method etc. Pupils have to identify what the definition is and an example of each.

Main 1: Show pupils how to draw the structure of the Earth. Pupils produce a version in their books. Main 2: Question pupils about the states of the layers and how they know this. AFL: 4 Mark Question: Describe the Earth’s layers explain with examples how they're properties are based on their state. With a WAGOLL (examples of medium and higher answers are in the ppt). Homework: Possibly ask pupils to produce a 3d model of their diagram.

Learning Objectives State that volcanoes occur at tectonic plate boundaries. Explain why do people live near volcanoes? Contrast volcanoes predictability with those of earthquakes. Settler: What are volcanoes? Pictures and video Starter: Pupils draw and label main parts of a volcano. Demonstration: Candlewax volcano Search for this on youtube or RSC website. Practical: Main 1: Where do volcanoes occur? Main 2: AFL: Practice questions in ppt Homework Homework: IN PAIRS Produce a model of a volcano. You can use your imagination, with whatever materials you have to hand. If you want your volcano to react there are lots of videos to show you how. If you are stuck for ideas you can use the if Doha had a volcano model template on the website.

Learning Objectives Learn who Alfred Wegener was and state the theory of continental drift. Describe the crust as broken into pieces called tectonic plates. Explain that convection currents within the Earth’s mantle driven by heat released by natural radioactive processes because the plates to move at relative speeds of a few centimeters per year. Evaluate the evidence for continental drift and explain why it was not accepted at the time. Settler: Think pair share – Were all scientists successful? Introduce students to the storys of Mendeleevs early life, Alfred Wegeners life and/or Nikolai Tesla. Starter: Demonstration: Plate tectonic demonstration with biscuits and syrup – see video Practical: Main 1: Alfred Wegener Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1-cES1Ekto Explain tectonic plates and continental drift Alfred Wegener SciShow Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbU809Cyrao Main 2: Pupils answer What is the Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift. And what evidence did he have for it? (4) Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift was not accepted by the scientists at the time. Why? (2) AFL: Homework Produce a fake social media page for Alfred Wegener, what sort of things would he be posting about? Some people have already had a go, what would you post about if you were him?

Learning Objectives State that earthquakes are most frequent at tectonic plate boundaries. Explain what causes earthquakes suddenly. Explain why people might not evacuate overtime there is an earthquake warning. Settler: Think pair share Are all earthquakes the same? Which Earthquakes are more dangerous? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pwlMHpeOto Do they occur everywhere? Starter: Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFB-qpiKccs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOCxNVDiOnE Practical: Main 1: Why might Earthquakes be difficult to predict? Why are the effects of the Earthquake on people who live there? If earthquakes are so destructive why don’t people evacuate everyone there is a mild tremor? Main 2: AFL: Homework What is your own experience with earthquakes? Has someone in your family experienced a earthquake? Write a diary entry for the day when the earthquake happened (fact or fiction), include any warning you had about the earthquake if you had them and what your response was, wether you thought the earthquake was dangerous and what happened afterwards. Ever wondered why some old buildings survive earthquakes and some don't - turns out the secret is retrofitting.

Learning Objectives Investigate how speed of cooling affects the crystal size of minerals. Link the properties of igneous rocks with where they cooled. Use particle diagrams to explain the difference between intrusive and extrusive Settler: Revision of intrusive and extrusive from previous lesson. Starter: Pupil write their own hypothesis for the practical – discuss what makes a good hypothesis. Fter pupils have done theirs they can asses themselves based on the WAGOLL in the ppt.

Pupils can then peer assess using the markscheme and the WAGOLL. AFL: Ask pupils at the end how giants causeway was made and importantly where? Photographs in ppt.
