Lesson on radioactive decay, looking at alpha, beta and gamma decay. Differentiated sheets included Learning Objectives: Identify each type of radioactive decay Describe the properties of each radioactive decay Compare the differences between alpha and beta decay

KS3 lesson on friction. Differentiated throughout and combined with the practical dragging blocks over different surfaces. Learning Objectives: Describe what friction is and how it occurs Identify uses for friction Explain why friction can be useful or a problem

Lesson looking at the life cycle of a star. Could be used with many different year groups. I printed out a blank version of slide 17 for the students to fill out as I went through the stages during the lesson. Learning Objectives: Describe the life cycle of our star Explain how heavy elements are formed Explain why different stars can go through different stages in their lifetimes

GCSE lesson on stability, looking at the factors that affect it. The 'practical' involved in the lesson was cello taping lego bricks to tiles and lifting them until the lego topples over. Learning Objectives: Explain why things topple over Explain the factors that affect stability

GCSE lesson on pendulums. Differentiated throughout and practical involved. Learning Objectives: Describe the difference between time period, frequency and amplitude Calculate time period and frequency of different pendulums Describe the factors that affect the period of a pendulum

KS3 lesson on eclipses and satellites. Differentiated questions throughout and weblinks all working when uploaded. I would advise also having a big light/torch and two different sized balls to demonstrate the different types of eclipses. Learning Objectives: Describe what satellites are Describe the difference between lunar and solar eclipses Explain how eclipses occur

KS3 lesson on different aspects of astronomy looking at: days, months, years and seasons.Differentiated throughout and a homework included at the end of the lesson Learning Objectives: Describe the terms: night, day, month and year Explain why the planet has seasons Compare days, months and years on other planets

KS3 lesson on the moon and the different stages of the moon throughout it’s cycle. Differentiated throughout and you can just print off the slide with the crossword on it for the students. Learning Objectives: Recall the key terms in the solar system Describe the phases of the moon Explain the difference between a new and full moon

KS3 lesson on gravity and the differences in the effect of gravity on different planets. Homework task included at the end of the lesson. Print off the last 8 slides to put around the room when calculating the weight on different planets. Learning Objectives: Describe the difference between mass and weight Explain why gravity is not the same on different planets

On of a series of 'maths in science' activities. They are differentiated and include a DIRT activity for students to reflect and improve from the first set of questions.
