Full topic of 5 lessons. Covers the core practical on Hookes Law as well as the extra content for triple scientists. The presentation does not talk specifically about Hooke as we find that time is tight by the time we reach topic 15, and it is not specifically outlined in the specification. A homework on the core practical with a video link is included. This is part of a core practical booklet that was created for my combined scientists. The full resource is available in my TES shop. Some content referenced is from the Pearson Active Teach - Your school need to have a subscription to this to access the documents referenced.

The Easter bunny has been murdered by another bunny! Possibly a jealous or overworked one. There are 5 clues (a couple with science themes) for the teams to figure out to lead them to the final clue. When they have completed the puzzle, they can begin crossing suspects off the list to find the killer! There really is minimal effort required from the teacher. Set it up, introduce the murder and let them compete. Just tick the team’s box when they have finished each clue and advance the slide to give the answer when the time runs out. Includes: PowerPoint presentation leading pupils through the Case brief and clues. Also includes answers. Anagram code for clue 1 Crossword sheet and answers for clue 2. Wordsearch for clue 4 Speed calculation sheet for clue 5. CSI case brief Front cover for the murder file List of suspects and information NB: Clue 3 is found in the presentation so you can edit the names if you like! It is a classification key.

Writing frame to help pupils in KS3 or bottom set GCSE groups get to grips with how to write parts of an investigation. Pink sections are the higher tier sections. Pupils can work up to these.

My year 9s and my year 11s love this challenge. The idea behind it is that the pupils will really get to grips with the protons, neutrons and electrons of each element so they can correctly answer questions about ions, bonding and electronic configuration. This is coming in earlier in the new Edexcel specification! I give pupils 3 minutes for this activity. If it cannot be done in that time, they haven't grasped it yet! They do it as a starter or a plenary, and all begin at the same time. It works well as a mini test where they race against each other (or even you) to be the first one to finish with them all correct. They can even mark each others! When they finish one challenge (95% correct or more) they move on to the next one. I use school rewards for when they advance and I have also included a certificate that I have given to the ones who complete all 3. This can obviously be modified to reflect you and your class.
