Measurement- Measuring Bundle

This is a bundle of three complete and fully resourced lessons introducing pupils to measuring in Science.
The resources are…

Measuring Volume: This is an introductory practical lesson to demonstrate how pupils measure volume and teaches them the importance of accuracy.
This resource pack contains: A PPT (24 slides) and handouts (1 sheet) .
Included in this resource is two of our timers complete with MUSIC.
Activities include:
Starter Task: Thinking Skills question
Demonstration on how to accurately measure liquid.
Experiment on measuring different volumes
Plenary (Exit task) : Beat the clock
In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .

Measuring Time: This is an introductory practical lesson to demonstrate how pupils measure time and teaches them the importance of accuracy.
This resource pack contains: A PPT (14 slides) and handouts (2 sheets) .
Included in this resource is two of our timers complete with MUSIC.
Activities include:
Starter Task: Thinking Skills question
Activity on on recording time digitally. Pupils will find out when completing the challenges that they won’t be accurate. Therefore, they will want to repeat challenge reinforcing the need for repeat experiments to find averages.
Experiment on measuring different times and two practical challenges.
Plenary (Exit task) : Think, Pair Share- Please note…
This Exit Task/Plenary is designed to draw out the findings of the measuring time activities. These being that the children will learn that using a stop click to seconds and hundredths of seconds will give them a precise time. However, this is not 100% accurate due to human error (reaction times). You should discuss how to improve on accuracy ( use of repeats and find an average). In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .

Measuring Temperature: This is an introductory practical lesson to demonstrate how pupils measure temperature and teaches them the importance of accuracy.

This resource pack contains: A PPT (12 slides) and handouts (2 sheets) .

Included in this resource is two of our timers complete with MUSIC.

Activities include:

Starter Task: Thinking Skills question
Activity on on recording temperature. Pupils are asked to estimate the temperature of certain items and plot them on their worksheet. Then they are given the answer and asked to plot the temperatures correctly.
Experiment on measuring temperatures.
Plenary (Exit task) : Slap it up- Pupils are asked to write something they have learnt in the lesson and a question they would like to ask and slap it up on the board before they leave.

Physics: Measuring Force, Newton Meters.

This is a practical lesson introducing pupils to Newton meters.

Measuring Force:
Physics: Measuring Force, Newton Meters Lesson pack contains: A PPT (15 slides) and a peer assessment handout (1 sheet).
Activities include:
Starter Task: A Thinking Skills questions- measuring force.
Task 1: Pupils are introduced to Sir Isaac Newton and his invention, the Newton Meter. Then pupils are asked to measure everyday items and record this information in the form of a table in their exercise books.
Task 2: Pupils should then be given a spring and a hook and 5 weights (1-5 kilograms). They will need to hang the spring and add the weights one by one and measure the length of the spring each time a weight is added and record the data in the form of a table. They will then be asked to plot a line graph (you will need to provide graph paper for this task).
Task 3: Pupils will need to conclude on the results and describe the relationship between weights added and the length of the spring and link this to how a Newton meter works.
Included in this pack is a peer assessment sheet that can be used to mark the individual activities.
Exit task/Plenary: our interactive Starter and Plenary Prompt Selector that is worth £3.

In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .
