This is based on the rough science idea. Pupils have to design a rocket lander to bring a payload (of an egg) to earth safely. There are some rules, and they can only test it with the egg once. When they have completed their testing there is an evaluation sheet to complete and a certificate attached to reward pupils who land the egg safely

a simple powerpoint presentation on dark matter and questions science can and cant answer

Simple worksheet on why certain people wear the clothes they do, so fireman wear fireproof clothes etc

a rollercoaster project where pupils design a rollercoaster and carry out some investigations and use calculations such as work done

a video showing the famous feather drop on the moon experiment

a scinetific enquiry sheet i made to accompany a demonstartion of a buddhist/tibetan prayer bowl

a card sort activity on questions science can and cannot answer

a card sort about all the different spin offs from the space programme. makes a good talking point for a lesson about the value of space travel

an outline for a postcard home from another planet, could be used to get pupils thinking about what it would be like on other planets

a card sort of the size of objects, planet, solar system, universe etc, makes a nice starter

a sheet from the old edexcel GCSE centre assessed task activity could still be useful as a homework/science lesson on radiation

a step by step instruction for the construction of a practical investigation on insulation a useful practice for coursework

a simple structured speed investigation sheet good for lower ability pupils

a useful poster on what makes a good graph

A blank top trumps sheet that I used to get students to make top trumps of the planets but can be modified for any purpose.

a booklet i made for low ability students to think about the earth and the universe, it gets them planning a space mission, diamond ranking the equipment they would take with them, thinking about the conditions on other planets amongst other things

a shorter version of my rollercoaster project that gets pupils to prepare a projecton one fairground ride or rollercoaster where they think about forces, levers and moments

a simple review of forces - with a name the force activity - labelling force diagrams of wonder woman, my little pony, sonic etc and then doing a different surfaces friction investigation i use lego cars but you could use trolleys- the experiment sheet is differentiated and so is the forces sheet - purple stars are challenge questions but it is designed for lower ability all resources needed are included in the powerpoint or attached separately

A grinch themed science lesson - i would get pupils to solve the challenges with lego and materials. using toys or lego animals for pets. and different sized toner boxes with gifts hidden in them for the pupils to retrieve.

a simple toy design - santa science activity with bonus candy cane science extension
