Perfect resource for the start of the academic year to welcome new Science classes! A fully resourced set of three lessons that focuses on helping students to develop their scientific skills. Great as an introduction topic for KS3 Science classes and can easily be modified for GCSE Science classes.
This bundle comes complete with fully differentiated and resourced lessons. This includes:
1: Lab apparatus, Scales and Measuring - students will learn about common laboratory apparatus used in Science. They will draw correct scientific diagrams to represent apparatus and use various apparatus in a practical activity.
2: The Bunsen burner - students will learn about the parts of a Bunsen burner and how to safely use a Bunsen burner during a Science experiment. They will identify the three different flames and describe the features of each one.
3: Results Tables and Graphs - students will learn about variables, and how to independently draw results tables, bar charts and line graphs for investigations.
(approx 4-5 hours in total)
The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, worksheets, quizzes and class practical activities for students to complete.
Included:
84 slides in total for the lesson PPT
Differentiated worksheets x6
