This is a Star Wars themed lesson aimed at KS3. Pupils begin by doing a "Think, Pair, Share" on what will fall faster, an elephant or a feather and how they could make them fall at the same speed. The text is then hyperlinked so a video can be shown, when air is removed from the scenario. Pupils then watch an animation showing a parachutist and the way air resistance changes the forces and acceleration acting upon him. Pupils discuss which parachute will land first using the diagrams. Then pupils then investigate how surface area affects the speed in which a parachute falls. You will need tissue paper, string and a weight - I usually let them drop it from the balcony and down the stairs. Pupils then complete a gap fill exit ticket and draw force arrows on a parachutist. A QWC writing frame is also include for higher ability pupils and/or homework

Then get pupils to check their hands a shoulders, discuss what this represents. Go through the possible routes of transmission. Use mini white board to do some Q&A to check understanding.

There is then a Maths focus, where pupils draw tally charts, calculate percentages and draw graphs. Finally, pupils do an exit ticket which involves them describe ways disease can spread over different distances.

This is a Jurassic park themed lesson aimed at KS3. Pupils begin by identifying energy types and wasted or useful for given objects. Pupils then go onto the learn about the law of conservation and how to draw Sankey diagrams, they also assess a poorly drawn one. Pupils draw a few Sankey diagrams. Pupils then calculate efficiency. Million Pound Drop is then played by the pupils. This is from natashafox85 where you can get it for free (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/energy-efficiency-million-pound-drop-6142890) Finally pupils do a QWC question on the efficiency of light bulbs. This is from my QWC resources which can be found here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/qwc-writing-frame-with-picture-prompt-comparing-lightbulbs-11178129

This is aimed at a low ability KS3 class, and has a Ghostbusters theme. Pupils enter the room and begin by doing a wordsearch. The teacher, using a diagram, explains how to read a wave from an oscilloscope, including keywords. A oscilloscope can also be used to demonstrate the different sounds and waves produced. Pupils then do a mini-experiment using a ruler, to investigate pitch and amplitude, to ensure that they understand the meaning of these words. Pupils then use a template the draw wave diagrams. There is then a task where pupils read descriptions of sound and match these to wave diagrams. Finally in teams pupils complete a small quiz. There are two homeworks available, which I let them chose between, both are experiments that they can do at home.

Pupils are then given a character and are to debate antibiotic resistance. Finally pupils answer an AQA exam question on antibiotic resistance. There is also a homework available about the effectiveness of plants as antibacterials, I've dubbed this "Plants vs. Zombies" for "fun-factor",

Firstly, I would like to say thank you for purchasing or considering purchasing a QWC writing frame or bundle. I have found these an amazing resource, which if why I have made so many. But, how could they be differentiated? I know how tempting it can be to use these as a standalone task, and even stretch it out into a lesson. This document gives some ideas on how to differentiated for different classes as well as other activities you could do with the frames.
