What killed the Mammoths

(0)
This is a collection of resources that would work well as a lesson. A lesson outline is provided showing how the resources might be used together. There is an email designed to set the scene and for use as as a ‘hook’. There are also sheets for learners to summarise their learning (tweet). You may want to supplement the resources with pictures of a woolly mammoth (link only due to copyright restrctions) and video ‘footage’ e.g from Ice Age movie. This was designed as lesson for a KS3 nurture group although would be suitable for KS2 or other KS3 groups with adaptation. Please note that this is a non-editable version. A fully editable premium version is also available.

Sources of information - starter

(0)
This resource is an was originally designed for instant engagement, to be on display on entry to the room. The students are given a period of time (say 3 minutes) to rank order the sources of information. This works well in groups with mini-whiteboards. The teacher then asks students to indicate whether each source was in the top 3, middle 3 or bottom 3 – e.g. by show of hands. This supports a discussion on reliability and disagreement between groups provides chance for cognitive conflict and students explaining their reasoning. It was originally designed as a starter to LSS activity 3.1

'Save the Rennets' - reliability of the internet

(0)
This activity involves looking at reliability of information found on the internet and encourages students to evaluate this critically in light of the discovery of new information. Students really do engage with the activity and find it a useful learning experience. An activity sheet and guidance sheet are included. Please note that the resource points to two external websites which I acknowledge as external sources of information and as such cannot be held responsible for the content of these websites. It is recommended that these are checked fully before use.

Two versions are included, one with revised GCSE (1-9) grades, the other without. (please note that grade indications are only approximate). Why not try getting learners to choose a selection of questions to answer (e.g. do Q1-4 or Q3-8) An answer sheet is included. This resource was originally designed for OCR 21st Century Science unit B3, but still applies across a range of exam specifications. Keywords: energy, transfer, food chain, efficiency

'Where do I stand?' cards - perceptions activity
classleadingclassleading

'Where do I stand?' cards - perceptions activity

(0)
This activity allows students to indicate their perceptions on a particular question. The question might be a debate e.g. ‘Should we build more nuclear power stations?’, ‘Is cloning a good idea?’ or ‘Should social media be banned?’. To use the cards, print and laminate the cards. Lay the cards out along a line and ask the students to stand near the card that represents how strongly they agree (not on the card due to risk of slipping). Then ask them to justify their reasoning. This works really well when carried out before and after a debate. Designed for use in science, these also have use in other subjects such as Citizenship, PSHE and RE. Inspired by an activity at the NCT.
