KS3 Energy and conservation of energy - complete lesson, ready to use, pick up and go. This KS3 lesson teaches energy stores in the new way required for GCSE 9-1 spec - so it builds the correct foundation for KS4. This supports good student progress and avoids confusing them by teaching them the old ideas about energy at KS3 (e.g. light is an energy store, sound is energy etc) and then the new ones at GCSE (9-1 specification). By the end of the lesson learners will (ALL) Understand what energy is. (ALL) Know the unit of energy. (ALL) Be able to name the 8 energy stores (as per new 9-1 GCSE requirements) (MOST) Understand what each store is and identify them in the world around them. (MOST) Explain that energy transfers from one store to another (SOME) Demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy. What do you get? Complete and ready to use lesson that includes: Energy cross word worksheet - with ANSWERS. Energy circus activity sheet - with ANSWERS. Two carefully chosen videos Powerpoint that navigates you and the learners throughout and includes questions, answers, peer marking, self marking, video links, plenary quiz with answers etc. Helpsheet Equipment list for the circus practical (simply give it to your technicians) Why buy this? Very high quality (over 15 hours to create). Optimised - low teacher effort for great student results. Tried and tested (taught to my classes in 2017 and again in 2018). Differentiated. Complete and ready to deliver. Easy to use Simple and clear. Engaging and varied. Unique. Correct to the new 9-1 GCSE spec. Beware! Most KS3 lessons on tes are not correct, they are contradicting the new 9-1 GCSE spec. Get a free lesson!

Geocentric and Heliocentric models of the solar system, planets, moons, dwarf planets. Complete lesson. This is lesson 2 in a series of 6 high quality lessons that fully and expertly delivers all the points within BOTH the NEW KS3 Department for Education ‘Space Physics’ National Curriculum and the AQA KS3 specification / syllabus sections ‘3.7.2 Universe’ and ‘3.1.2 Gravity’. STUDENT OUTCOMES - are noted further down. READY TO USE - no preparation required apart from (if you want) photocopying the work sheet (or you could simply project it and the students could write the answers in their books). The PPT guides you at every step! STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking and working in pairs in a race to solve a picture puzzle and work out what today’s lesson is about. After discussion that leads to revealing the title and lesson outcomes students then self assess against their current understanding of this topic. MAIN and MAIN and MAIN… This lesson is ‘chunked’ into discrete sections to support learning and engender positive behaviour by keeping students interested and focused. All points of the specification are addressed. There are various student activities such as: gap fill, matching, a unique differentiated activity sheet, paired work, literacy activities, focused questions with answers and differentiation, picture puzzle, think/pair/share, quiz, mini test, sort into size order, homework, self-assessment opportunities, peer assessment opportunities etc. Lots of variety to keep learners happy, engaged and learning. PLENARY: In the plenary activity pupils complete a quiz and then peer assess it to uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. They then self-assess themselves against the lesson outcomes. Students who need further support set themselves additional homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES: These are provided just in case any group requires them. All resources are included in this excellent lesson, there is nothing for you to do but deliver it. OUTCOMES - AT THE END OF THIS LESSON STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO: * Understand the difference between moons, planets and dwarf planets. * Explain the geocentric model of the solar system. * Explain the heliocentric model of the solar system. * Understand why Galileo supported the heliocentric model. Thank you for looking, your positive feedback would be very much appreciated :) This lesson is one of a series of 6: 1. Solar system, stars and galaxies and the universe. 2. Geocentric and heliocentric solar system models 3. Seasons. 4. Gravity, weight and mass. 5. Exploring and observing the universe. 6. The moon’s phases.

FREE help sheet for teachers or students on energy stores, transfers, carriers, pathways and energy diagrams. This is specifically for the new GCSE 9-1 specification (which can be confusing). ENERGY - THE LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED: On tes there are many many energy lessons and resources teaching to the old spec. which are no longer applicable if taught today – which is a polite way of saying they are wrong. There are even some resources I’ve looked at that claim to be new spec. 9-1 – but they are wrong too, even BBC Bitesize is getting some aspects a bit confused. Please don’t risk teaching your classes incorrectly ! This resource is a FREE help sheet for science teachers which explains it all. This help sheet is clear and simple and free !

Complete and ready to use lesson covering: Skeleton + Joints + Muscles This is a KS3 lesson, in this lessons students learn among other things: To describe the functions of the skeleton and the role of joints. To name bones and understand where within the skeleton specific bones are located. To understand the different types of joints. To investigate and also explain antagonistic muscle pairs. Activities for students include: 3 short starters based on picture for thinking, SPaG/literacy and thinking about what the skeleton is for (use 1 or all as you see fit). Differentiated activity sheets. All answers are provided throughout. Gap fills. Video. Animated game - via a link to an excellent site that is well worth finding ! Questioning (all answers provided). Label the skeleton activity sheet (diagrams and answers are included in this download). Joints gap fill. Practical experiment. Plenary quiz. Further information: This lesson covers 3 topics, skeleton and joints and muscles. Consequently it covers all the important points but is not as detailed as spending 1 full hour lesson on each of these 3 topics (3 hours total). This lesson is very useful, even more so if you want to get ahead and build a buffer to allow for a revision lesson before the test or end of year exams, or if you have fallen behind were you should be in comparison to your teaching rota, or in case students find things more difficult later. If you need deep detail and to spend a total of 3 hours on these three topics then you could easily add some of your own content to this powerpoint. Happy teaching !
