Simple Science Practical Activities

4 Resources
Don't have enough time to do practical science anymore? Do your students say 'we never do practicals' or maybe you are preparing students for controlled assessments? These easy to resource and simple to deliver practical activities will encourage your learners to think scientifically. Topics link to rate of cooling, energy transfer, making solutions, super cooling and lab skills. Please adapt them as you wish.
AQA Science Trilogy Assessment Bundle Biology, Chemistry, Physics

AQA Science Trilogy Assessment Bundle Biology, Chemistry, Physics

(1)
Requires Microsoft PowerPoint. 150 Multiple choice questions from the new specification. If Macros are enabled when prompted at the start of the presentation, the powerpoint will mark itself and give feedback (topics of weakness and more specific question feedback). Could be used at the start and end of the year to measure progress. Students can print results on slide 52 and use the feedback for independent learning or homework. I hope this saves you lots of marking. I have included hard copies of the questions and answers in case the ICT lets you down or you want to use it for a cover lesson.

Streamlining or Friction Practical activity with Control focus

(0)
Introduces Friction and streamlining with an emphasis on writing control variables. Students must identify variables to control and justify them. Remind them that the Independent variable changes, the dependent variable is measured and everything else is controlled.

Simple Combustion practical - Easy to resource

(0)
A PowerPoint with supporting instructions, starter and extension activities. Best if you use tealight candles. Encourages students to consider variables and to make accurate measurements. Students draw a graph to show their results. If students are difficult to motivate then ask them to estimate how long a candle would last in a specific volume (i.e. 300ml beaker) which they will have to produce a graph to extrapolate or interpolate to find this out. You could test a 300ml beaker at the end to test this. The extension activity promotes higher level scientific thought. It is unknown if the carbon dioxide smothers the candle or if the oxygen runs out first. Most students will say the taller candle as this will last longer!
