This photosynthesis assessment and feedback lesson is designed to help you and your students. You save time by marking one piece of work for this topic. The students benefit by getting specific and detailed feedback over what they are getting right, and what they need to work on. Marking is time consuming, and often does not benefit anyone. However, with this task, students will answer a detailed task to showcase what they know. There is also a success criteria they can use as a checklist to ensure they include all the detail needed. There is then space for teacher feedback (or peer feedback if you wish!), along with space for the student to address what they missed/got incorrect. When I use this resource I will spend one lesson on completing the task, and the start of another lesson for students to address the feedback I have provided. If when you are marking, you notice a lot of students are making the same mistake, you could plan to re-teach that and help all your students to make positive progress! Included in this resource is: Double sided assessment - page 1 is the task and space for the student to answer, page 2 includes the success criteria along with space for the teacher to leave comments and the student to respond and correct any work. Keyword linking activity (and model answers for the teacher to use) Photosynthesis themed word search (with answers) I hope your students find these worksheets useful!

Please see below for descriptions of how I have used them in my classroom. If you are planning on using all the resources, I recommend taking more than one lesson. For some teaching tips on how to teach anatomy of the heart, I have written an extensive blog post which includes how I would plan a whole teaching unit around the heart and circulatory system. Head to the link to my website in my TES shop! How I have used this resource: Previously I have allowed students time to look at the labelled version, and then attempt to label the large diagram in pairs on their table. Then they can look at other groups to compare. The cut and stick diagram takes a little time, ideal if you have a class that need to keep their hands busy for an afternoon! I presented the written activity as a short essay style answer where they had to ‘describe the journey of the blood through the heart’. I gave them the key words to start with, and encouraged them to highlight words they used as they wrote. I gave my SEN students the word fill (I have students with dyspraxia and dyslexia, they struggle with writing big blocks of text from scratch). After the activity, I gave them the model answer - they looked through it, and added any detail they had missed (I asked them to underline/highlight what they had added so I could see what their original work looked like). Product: worksheet heart anatomy, structure and function.

Do your students get nervous using the Bunsen burner the first time? Maybe you are the teacher start getting anxious knowing there is a lab coming up where Bunsen burners are used! Try out my introduction to Bunsen burners activities - with a lab procedure included. These activities give the students the opportunity to earn a Bunsen burner license, having shown you they can act responsibly and work with confidence when using a Bunsen burner. My students were particularly wary of Bunsen burners, especially after the pandemic, they had very few lab skills. This is a nice way to ease them in, and build their confidence - especially when it comes to changing the type of flame used (to start with my students are terrified of touching the collar on the Bunsen!) By giving them a certificate with their Bunsen license at the end of the lesson, we are showing our students trust and ownership over what they can do in the lab - a big step up in responsibility! So, what exactly do you get included in this resource? Optional booklet front page to print out if you want to present it to students as a booklet. An introduction to the Bunsen with some facts, followed by a diagram to label (words included) – this is scaffolded to also have a version with the first letters to help students out (alternatively you could get them to research the names on a device or show them a labelled image on your whiteboard). Top tips for Bunsen safety followed by a match up activity for the different flame colours produced by the Bunsen. Lab procedure for students to follow in order to get their Bunsen burner license. Bunsen burner license certificate (colour and B&W copy). Answers are included for any activities.

Do your students struggle to write their method for their science experiments? Maybe they just have not had a lot of experience writing a science lab method. I have the same issues with my students, especially in KS3, this is a totally new style of writing than what they are used to! To combat this, I have designed these worksheets that scaffold the process and build up student skills. I promise you, you will see some amazing improvements if you follow these simple steps! Give them some writing rules. Show them what a bad one looks like (and model why it is bad). Show them what a good one looks like (and model why it is good). Get them to review some poorly written and well written methods - allowing them to start to see what makes a good method. Now start them writing by asking them to turn a series of diagrams into a written method following the rules. Finally, they get to go solo! Get them to write a method from scratch without all the previous scaffolding (obviously they can look back at the rules and the examples of good methods to help them out if they need it!) The quality of my students’ written methods has vastly improved and, more importantly, my student CONFIDENCE is soaring when we write methods! Something they would avoid in the past, not knowing where to start. So, what exactly do you get included in this resource? Bell-ringers x1 & exit tickets x2 (for you to choose which is most appropriate) Rules for writing a method (printer friendly copy for students and a colour copy that could be printed as a poster or shared digitally) Reviewing 2 methods – teacher modelled example highlighting and annotating what are the pros and cons of each method (according to the rules) Reviewing 2 methods – students to complete independently Turning lab diagrams into a method – students use the sequenced images and turn them into a logical method Students write their own method for making their favourite sandwich! Peer assessment forms for students to assess each other’s sandwich method. If you would like more science teaching ideas and tips, please check out my blog. I spend a lot of time researching each blog and teaching strategy to provide the best high quality information for teachers everywhere. You can find the link in my TES shop!
