Everything you need to create an instructional display on how to make ice cream from household ingredients! Great for Science Clubs, or getting kids involved in science at a younger ages.<br />
Goes into the basics of emulsions, and what ice cream is made from, as well as touching on the reasons why salt prevents water from freezing. All at very basic levels.<br />
<br />
File contains:<br />
- word document containing images of the ingredients needed. (Please be aware this uses a UK-style milk bottle and may need to be edited for use in other countries to prevent confusion)<br />
- PowerPoint document containing stylized images of the different molecules found in ice cream, salt and ice, as well as printing instructions.<br />
- .pdf file containing the written instructions for how to make the ice cream (also contains written instructions for slime, ignore those).<br />

Lesson plan for a practical on the extension of the spring. Aimed at year 7. There is no mention of the spring constant, but the foundations are there to introduce it later.
Two-lesson pyramid-building challenge. <br />
First lesson consists of getting into teams, and having a go at the quiz (Search the WordWall Community for "Science Week Quiz", as it is an unsupported file type, so I can't upload it here)<br />
Each correct answer gets teams points which they can "spend" on equipment or materials.<br />
Second lesson they have to use their materials to build the best pyramid. Each team will vote. Winner gets a prize (or not, whichever)
Basic introduction to density for year 7. Introduces the equation, units (g/cm^3) and how to use it. Also introduces the concept of floating and sinking being based on density. Doesn't rearrange the equation.
Lesson on classification. How to classify organisms, as well as why it's important. Talks about Linnaeus and Woese.<br />
Suitable for AQA Trilogy Biology Syllabus.
Lesson on cells.<br />
Includes:<br />
- plant and animal cells, including mitochondria and ribosomes<br />
- specialised cells, including nerves and xylem
