Information sheets for the hazard symbols. It includes 11 information sheets on each of the chemical hazard symbols. Great to use in a carousel/ circus activity for Year 7 (KS3).

This lesson is designed for year 7, as an introduction to science. It covers the safety rules in a laboratory and the hazard symbols, as well as precautions to take. This lesson is animated to assist with delivery of a lesson. This lesson comes with a Do Now/Starter activity. It includes the lesson’s learning objectives and the learning outcomes. It includes important definitions, and keywords. Each activity has a timer, and the answers for each activity can be found on the slides. There is an indicator on the top left corner if the activity is suitable for paired, grouped or independent work. This lesson bundle comes with worksheets, for students to use during the activities. There are worksheets that are also differentiated for lower ability students, and stretch and challenges for the higher ability students. There is also a short plenary at the end.

This resource is for a whole day project, and is designed to have two classes running alongside each other for 5 lessons, aimed at year 9 students (KS3). Alternatively could be used as a research SOW for 8 to 10 lessons. Its designed so that the lessons can be run with equipment/chemical/apparatus that is found in most schools. Group 1 have the following lessons: Fingerprint profiling Sample analysis (Separation techniques: filtration and evaporation)/ Metal analysis (Flame test)/ Non-metal analysis Shoeprint profiling/Fibre analysis Graphology (handwriting analysis)/Scientific collabortation/Evaluation Group 2 have the following lessons: Ink analysis (chromatography) Shoeprint profiling/pH soil examination (pH indicator test) DNA extraction Blood splatter analysis Graphology (handwriting analysis)/Scientific collabortation/Evaluation. It will take a bit of preparation and communication with the technician to prepare the evidence. The plan has a complete explaination for when the materials are required, and how to organise samples to align with the evidence found on the ‘victim’, so the students evidence collected will match with the project booklet. The project booklet is designed for the students to work on through the day.

A project that is designed for year 7 students (aged 11 / 12, KS3). This resource comes with an animated powerpoint, a plan, and a work booklet with activities for the students. The project is designed to take place over an entire day (5 lessons), alternatively it can be used as SOW, over 5 lessons. The powerpoints and plan can be edited as you please. The plan is colour coded so you can adapt the text in blue, depending on the date, and people involved. The project includes a lesson on air resistance and terminal velocity, a lesson to design the vessel/parachute. Two lessons to make the aircraft/vessel, and the final lesson is for the drop and evaluation.
