18 slide Powerpoint, including opening maths question (retrieval) and a connection question. Powerpoint then goes through the various tests (Tensile, Toughness, Hardness and then non destructive options - Ultrasound and Radiographic / X-rays). Each process covers key words, definitions, diagrams and videos of the tests in process. The lesson concludes with 2 exam questions (with mark scheme). This lesson is designed as a complimentary lesson to the one with identical name but “(in school)” at the end.

An A3 page cover task focussed on mechanims. The task is within the page, so it’s just as simple as printing and distributing. The task is aimed at KS3, but would also be fine for KS4 (with the expectation of them taking a more challenging design approach). Using some simple mechanisms, the children are tasked with designing a pull-along toy for a toddler. I use it with year 8+, but some Year 7 classes would be fine depending on knowledge. Mechanisms are shown on the page, and 4 worked examples are shown too to get them started. 1-2 hours of work.

Mining Grinding Froth Flotation Roasting Smelting Bessemerisation Steel manufacture Periodic Table Categorisation Metal Examples - Ferrous / Non Ferrous / Alloys 3 exam questions are included. NB: Owing to the videos and gif images within the file, I’ve had to break the powerpoint in half owing to size restrictions per file by TES.

Enclosed are templates of all the admin surrounding options for year 9. This includes an assembly, a parents presentation and accompanying letters launching the process. All files are editable (I’ve also enclosed a PDF of each too). Obviously every school is different, and this will need editing to suit, but would et you 80% of the way through and save a lot of time. To help explain what I do, and therefore how this is organised (but is very easily editable to whatever you do!) I place children within one of 3 pathways, Pathway 1 (most): Children all get 4 free option choices. Pathway 2: Children identified as not be secure in their likelihood of gaining a grade 4 in English and Maths - Children get 3 free choices, the extra time being taken up by supplementary English & Maths intervention. Pathway 3: Children who are identified as needing alternative provision for KS4 beyond the core subjects. I hope this saves someone a lot of time!
