CC2b lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE. Lesson looks at what filtration is, the equipment used, how to draw scientific equipment, what crystallisation is, what solution mining is, how to carry out filtration and crystallisation in the lab and the risk assessment of doing this. There is then a practical lesson looking at separating rock salt.

A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off).
Lesson 1:
Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them.
Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work.
Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life.
Lesson 2:
Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'.
Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers.
Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive.
Lesson 3:
Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements.
Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene.
Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
CC2a lesson from the new Edexcel Science GCSE scheme of work. Lesson includes; what pure substances are, what mixtures are, ways to separate mixtures, melting points of mixtures and pure substances and a second practical lesson looking at the effect of adding salt to ice on the measured melting point.
