This is a great way to get students to think about why things float. It has a simple but engaging practical with thought-provoking questions and differentiated activities. It connects particle theory with density and up-thrust. Plenty of opportunity for connecting key scientific ideas.

Description: A hands-on, engaging lesson where pupils test how toothpaste behaves in a neutralisation reaction. Designed for KS4 Special Needs pupils studying Entry Pathways Unit 6205: Making Chemical Compounds, this practical can also be used in mainstream KS3/KS4 classes to reinforce the relevance of acids, alkalis, and indicators in everyday products. Lesson Overview: Starter: Pupils discuss why we use toothpaste and how it relates to acids and alkalis. Main Practical Task: Pupils carry out a step-by-step investigation using universal indicator to test the pH of different toothpaste samples mixed with water, and then with acid. They record observations and pH values using a spotting tile. Conclusion Task: Pupils write which toothpaste was the best and explain why, linking to the neutralisation reaction. Plenary: Pupils reflect on WILFS/success criteria and discuss how they can improve next time. Equipment Needed (per group): 3 test tubes Stirring rod 1 pipette Spotting tile Universal indicator Safety goggles Small amount of water Pea-sized amount of toothpaste x 3 Small amount of acid (e.g. dilute hydrochloric acid) Includes: Structured PowerPoint with clear WALT/WILF Full equipment and method instructions Conclusion prompt Ideal For: KS3 and KS4 Science SEN/ALN learners and Entry Level Science Acids and alkalis practical application Supporting scientific enquiry and lab safety skills Perfect for introducing real-world chemistry in a simple, practical way.

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on the infrared radiation required practical for AQA GCSE Science and Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics required practical 10 / Combined Science required practical 21 and assumes you will be using a Leslie cube (or “Leslie’s cube”). As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. Learning objectives: Investigate how the amount of infrared radiation absorbed or emitted by a surface depends on what the surface is like. Safely follow the method to collect results. Record results and present them in a bar chart. Make conclusions from your investigation. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

I created this lesson for a science lesson observation for Year 5. It is well resourced and differentiated through the use of Bloom's taxonomy questions. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching this lesson and the progress the children made was very clear throughout the lesson. Be prepared to get wet and I recommend having kitchen towel on hand! Have fun!

This resource can be used as a template for students to write-up a practical investigation in science. It contains guidance around terms such as “independent variable” etc. Suited to middle - higher streamed classes. This is a fairly detailed write-up so would suit projects, though you can use the sections independently, depending on your focus. Part 1 - Planning an Investigation Part 2 - Results and Conclusion Part 3 - Evaluation The guide prompts students as to what they need to include in each section.

Booklet containing 16 practicals for Unit 3, Applied science (2016) The practicals fall into the following categories. Enzymes in action Diffusion Plants and their environment. Energy content of fuels Electrical circuits Each investigation includes; title, method, variables. Pupils are encouraged to use this to review learning. Space is provided underneath investigation for pupils to make notes. Further to this, their are YouTube video links for pupils that learn through watching the practical being carried out. The first practical “Impact of temperature on lipase” has complete notes as an example for students to use.

This helps to develop student practical skills in terms of understanding what a hypothesis is, types of variable, collecting data in a simple experiment, plotting and interpreting graphs to form conclusions. Equipment: 1 kg masses, strong elastic or shock-cord, 1 m rules, force meters. The elastic can be looped around the legs of a stool.

Covers an array of forensic biology evidence types and their value. Provides good advice for best practice for any budding CSI or Forensic Analyst! Pitched at Level 3 and beyond, will help teachers delivering the L3 BTEC in Forensic Science and the Forensic & Criminal Investigation.

A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation. Steps include: - Forming a hypothesis - Research - Method - Variables - Independent, dependent and controls. - Risk Assessment - Conclusion - Graphs These can be printed on A1 sheets to make as a classroom display. They can also be printed as A3, laminated and then students can use post it notes to complete. This is designed to familiarise students with the how science works terminology and format for laying out a clear practical.

These are a selection of practical investigations for KS3 Science, suitable for use with the Working Scientifically section of the 2014 syllabus. Included are guidance for each investigation, a scaffolded investigation sheet, a mark scheme and a student challenge sheet. The investigations are designed to be easily marked and leveled using criteria adapted from APP guidelines. I intended to add to these over time.

These tasks each focus on a different part of the additional science investigation (or the core science data analysis) and can be used as practices to get students used to the format. Each contains a mark scheme and some have parts that can be given as homework to train students in researching for these tasks!
