I have been teaching science for the last seven years in the south-west. I have had experience doing a roadshow for the Vancouver aquarium for schools across British Columbia to gain experience outside the classroom. I am to provide differentiated lesson plans and resources along with plenary ideas.

Here is a series of fully differentiated lesson plans for the year 8 light topic. These include starters and plenaries and was aimed at lower ability pupils. These lessons include the following:
what is light
reflection
refraction
dispersion of light (prisms)
seeing colours (filters)
the eye
Here is a series of fully differentiated lesson plans for the heating and cooling topic in year 8. These include starters and plenaries. These lessons include the following:
heat vs temperature
heat flow
conduction
convection
radiation
conserving energy (Sankey diagram)
I have created frames for four types of plenary assessments I do at the end of each lesson. These frames can be easily changed to allow simple planning time. The frames I have made are for:
catchphrase
Have I got news for you
Question of Sport
PEEL conclusions
each frame is colour coded for level of question (blue = easy, orange = medium, purple = hard)
Catchphrase contains boxes that you can alter the questions within. Once pressed the box will disappear to reveal a part of the catchphrase behind. Pupils love guessing the catchphrases. Their is an abundant source of catchphrase pictures on google images.
Have I got news for you enables pupils to identify the missing keywords from the sentence surrounding the lesson. The tiles that hide the keywords will disappear with each click.
Question of sport contains 5 boxes that are colour coded to show level of difficulty. Pupils pick a number which will hyperlink to a slide with the question on. there is a box in this slide that allows you to hyperlink back to the original slide ready for the next number.
PEEL conclusion is a frame to help pupils develop their written conclusion answers. P = point - make a simple conclusion, EE = explain and evidence - use your table of results to prove this conclusion and L = link - link this conclusion to wider society.
For the above topic I have created three home learning task sheets that include outcomes and rewards. I have created two marking feedback sheets to either be peer assessed or teacher assessed for specific lessons. I have also created an overall tracking sheet to enable pupils to follow their own personal progress across the topic.
Here is a set of fully differentiated lesson plans for the radioactivity and space unit. These include starters and plenaries. These lessons include:
radioactivity
radioisotopes
the solar system
space mission
near earth objects
asteroids and the moon
big bang theory
life cycle of a star
Here is a series of fully differentiated lesson plans for the first half of the P2 OCR topic. These also include the starters and plenaries. These lesson plans include the following:
harnessing the suns energy
photocells
generating electricity - dynamo effect
power stations
causes of global warming
the greenhouse effect
electrical power
heat from fuels
Here are six revision broadsheets that covers all the topics in year 8 science. The topics link to those of the Collins KS3 science textbook. The broadsheets are as follows:
Human body and energy
plants
Particles
Acids and alkalis
contact and non contact forces
magnetism and electricity
For the above topic I have created three home learning task sheets that include outcomes and rewards. I have created two marking feedback sheets to either be peer assessed or teacher assessed for specific lessons. I have also created an overall tracking sheet to enable pupils to follow their own personal progress across the topic.

The is a 9 week programme designed to encapsulate the key content in GCSE science. The programme using interleaving in order for pupils to revisit and cement their understanding of the key concepts. This includes short sessions on the following:
acids and bases
atomic and electronic structure
magnets and electromagnets
photosynthesis and respiration
reflection and refraction
series and parallel circuits
states of matter and density
cells and diffusion
review of the entire series
