Students investigate length of day in Summer/Winter. Each group of students need a light source and access to a globe (blow up ones will do). The instructions are quite hard to follow so perhaps groups could be organized by ability. If there are very low ability students in the class, the teacher could assist the lower ability group.

A good homework is ask them to do a simple practical at home for their parents. Obviously you have to be careful here – I use the Amazing Mug trick to demonstrate refraction for year 8s. Put a coin in the bottom far side of a mug and move your head so the coin is just out of view. Pouring water in causes the coin to appear as if by magic. Students have to demonstrate this to parents/siblings who sign a slip in their books to prove that it was done! This type of homework can also use internet simulations as the second worksheet shows.

Students have to fill in the 'Exit ticket' to get out of class. Useful for finding out what they've learnt

7th Grade Magnets Investigation

Hazard symbols for year 7 - students then have to design their own.

Everything year 7 need to know presented in a simple and straightforward fashion - also with a little humour.

Genes, DNA bases, mitosis, miosis genetic engineering IGCSE. Everything they need to know with some revision of earlier work on Punnett squares etc too.

Everything they need to know for GCSE Chemistry - formulae, reactions, pH scale, disassociation etc.

Everything they need to know about seeds, germination and cotyledons for Cambridge IGCSE Biology. Making a "mini-book" exercise at the end.
