Harry Potter Science Week plan, poster, schedule and resources

Transform your Science department into Hogwarts for a week and have lessons full of wizarding fun and excitement whilst also extending students scientific understanding.

Resources include:
1 - Poster - To advertise your week
2 - Vision and plan - An overview of how we organised our week with suggested activities and ways to involve all year groups
3 - Letter of acceptance - We gave one to each tutor group in preparation for the week and also printed loads out to come flying out of our homemade chimney (see photos)
4 - Schedule template - The schedule shows how we organised the weeks and also has the jobs for people to volunteer for in order to prepare resources and decorations for the week
5 - Instructions for elephants toothpaste (part of potions)
6 - Assignments - Print out double sided and hand out to students as part of a week long quiz, we put together certificates for students who completed each quiz and the aim was to complete all the quizzes by the end of the week and earn a certificate in each wizarding discipline (herbology, potions, transfiguration, charms and divination) - a good literacy activity to add tot he week
7 - Instructions for flame tests (part of potions)
8 - A selection of photos from our week for inspiration

In addition our entire department dressed up as characters from the books for the whole week

We had Harry Potter themed awards for budding scientists and for those who really stood out we organised a trip with the English department to The Harry Potter Experience to learn about the making of the films.

All in all it is a great week and a lot of fun, plus everybody loves Harry Potter!
