Promote scientific literacy in your class and give students an appreciation of the real world impact of science with this disciplinary literacy resource. Suitable as a worksheet or a class-reader handout.
This resource focuses on the the real-world Sporting applications of the AQA Combined Science specification. A reading comprehension task featuring a bespoke magazine-style article describing the Physics of Sprinting, Swimming and Rugby showing physics concepts and tier 3 vocabulary in context. This is followed by 13 questions of increasing challenge.
The text has a reading age of around 15 so will be especially useful with top set, Mable and Gifted and Talented Students. Extension/Discussion questions are incorporated to promote thinking hard.
I plan to use this at the start of the P5 Forces topic to give an introductory overview, but could equally be useful for consolidation, revision and retrieval, or even early in KS5. The resource is easily adapted to other exam boards (such as Edexcel) and International curriculum of other countries.

Disciplinary Literacy resource/task describing Newton’s Laws of motion. Answers provided. Supplied as editable powerpoint file (.ppt) and PDF, complete with answer slides.
This is a reading comprehension task (around an A4 page) featuring a short passage describing Newton’s Laws and giving examples of when they apply, followed by a definition task for the tier 3 vocabulary introduced, and 10 ramped recall and application questions on page 2.
This resource is designed to match the AQA Combined Science and single science Physics specification for the Forces topic (P5). It could be used to either introduce Newton’s Laws of motion early in the topic, or later for consolidation, revision and retrieval. The resource easily be adapted to other exam boards (such as Edexcel) and International curriculum of other countries.
I would recommend guiding the students to read through once independently, then read through aloud to promote oracy, then allowing students to answer questions.
