A full set of lessons to teach sound at KS2. Many of the resources could be used at KS3 level as they are originally designed for high ability classes.

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 6 Worksheet 1 (Scheme WS11) Powerpoint starter to get them thinking about the uses of a periscope. Making a periscope and drawing in the path the light rays take on a diagram. I have only reworked the activity provided by the science museum and do not take credit for the template or construction instructions. 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/

Dulwich College Junior School Science Scheme A fully comprehensive scheme designed for above national average students. This is in line with the National Curriculum and would also fit in very well with KS3 Science

Light lesson 4 Worksheet 1 A straight forward investigation into the law of 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/

I have made these resources for use with above average NC boys in a dedicated science lab. A lot of these resources would also be transferable over to KS3 science.\n\nPlease find all additional power points and handouts attached \n\nPlease comment so that I may continue to improve them.

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 add force arrows to two diagrams to show the different in forces between floating objects and sinking objects.

Light Lesson 1 handout 2 - This handout focuses on the drawing of scientific light ray diagrams.

Full investigation into the effect of mass and surface on the friction between two objects.

A full investigation into balloon rockets and the factors that can affect them.

A comprehensive set of 5 lessons for teaching atoms and elements. A large variety of activities and detailed lesson plans explaining how to use each resource.\n\nThis scheme has been made for above average students in yr 6 but the material is more than suitable for KS3 science.

Full investigation into the effect of surface area on the air resistance for paper and card

Plasticine Boat Challenge - How many pennies can their boat hold. Also in addition is a cloze passage on upthrust and buoyancy.

Light Lesson 2 Worksheet 1 (Scheme WS5) An investigation to find out what type of objects cast certain shadows. 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/

Forces in Action Lesson 1 Worksheet 1 (Scheme WS1) An investigation for students to learn the difference between mass and weight by using scales and newton meters.

Light lesson 1 Powerpoint 2 This worksheet focuses on spotting the common mistakes made when drawing light ray diagrams.. 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/

Pretend to be Dmitri Medeleev and attempt to sort elements into categories based on their properties!

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

Internet research questions on rockets and action/reaction forces
