A detailed and editable booklet that takes the classic kitchen roll investigation and provides a structured approach that will guide students through the different stages of researching, planning and carrying out an accurate and reliable investigation. In the investigation students will test the claims of a variety of different kitchen rolls brands either on their strength or absorbency. Students then use free learning (discovery) to design their own tests to gather evidence for these claims. NOTE: The kitchen rolls used for this were purchased from Sainsburys and are easily source able but any 5 different brands will do and can be easily changed in the booklet. Resource includes: Approx 2-3 hours of lesson time 1. Introduction to the investigation 2. Preliminary test and planning guide 3. Advice on graph drawing for both scatter and bar charts 4. General analysis questions as well as directed questions specific to the investigation 5. Success Criteria for scientific skills and self assessment 6. Targets and teacher assessment 7. Glossary I have tried my best to ensure a high quality in this resource but there may be errors I have not seen. If you do encounter any errors then please contact me so that I can fix them and get a corrected copy to you.

A recent report suggested that the Egyptians found that making the sand moist in front a sled carrying stone blocks reduced friction by up to 50%. Can your students replicate these results in a controlled manner by using trays of sand, wooden sleds and masses? A detailed and editable booklet takes this scenario and provides a structured approach that will guide students through the different stages of researching, planning and carrying out an accurate and reliable investigation. Resource includes: Approx 2-3 hours of lesson time Teacher's Guide with suggestions and how to resource equipment 1. Introduction to the investigation 2. Preliminary test and planning guide 3.

Light lesson 5 powerpoint 1 (Scheme PP4) Diagrams to show the refraction of light when viewing pencils in water and coins in cup. Designed to be used with the students performing the same activities. Please find the full scheme of work for light here: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Full-Scheme-of-Work-Light-KS2-KS3-6162648/

A guideline worksheet for students to make a poster on Isaac Newton's 3 laws of motion.

Students investigate the factors that can influence the speed of a parachute. The Factors are - surface area, mass and string length.

Students find out how the Knock Nevis (largest and heaviest boat in the world) can float when it is made from metal. Ideal homework to lead into buoyancy and upthrust.

Internet research questions on rockets and action/reaction forces

A guide that introduces basic scientific skills and explains the process of writing a scientific report.\n\nThis is fairly universal, I use it with year 6 although it could easily be used with KS3.

Students receive an atom card and have to make molecules by finding other atoms required to make their molecule. Variable group size from 10 up to 32.

This activity has students creating atoms with red and green sticky dots (find them at any stationers!) and deciphering the numbers found in the periodic table.

Light lesson 1 Worksheet 3 This worksheet focuses on the classification of objects into transparent, translucent and opaque categories. Please find the full scheme of work for light here: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Full-Scheme-of-Work-Light-KS2-KS3-6162648/

Light Lesson 4 powerpoint 1 (Scheme PP3) Who can shoot who with the aid of mirrors at LaserQuest? Ideal starter for reflection. Please find the full scheme of work for light here: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Full-Scheme-of-Work-Light-KS2-KS3-6162648/

A continuation in the series of year 6 topics. I have designed these for students who are above the average NC level and also have access to a dedicated science lab. A lot of these resources are transferable to KS3.\n\nPlease check my other resources for a worksheet breakdown along with editable word versions of each task.

Light Lesson 5 WS1 (Scheme WS9) Straight forward investigation into refraction. This investigation is heavily scaffolded and should hopefully be accessible to both KS2 and KS3 science students. Please find the full scheme of work for light here: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Full-Scheme-of-Work-Light-KS2-KS3-6162648/

Collaboration and rewording of the Story of Archimedes. This is not my own work. I have edited a few words to make it easier for students to digest. Please find references in the worksheet.

This topic covers nutrition, the heart and lungs, healthy diet and exercise and bones and muscles.\n\nThis course has been designed for above average KS2 students and could also be used effectively with KS3 classes\n\nPlease comment if you use the resources so that I can keep them updated and amend any mistakes\n\nCheck my other resources for other KS2/KS3 topics

Students decide whether or not situations should require lots of friction or no friction and arrange them on a Venn diagram.
