Whole scheme of work for microbes year 8 biology.

Learning Objectives State that earthquakes are most frequent at tectonic plate boundaries. Explain what causes earthquakes suddenly. Explain why people might not evacuate overtime there is an earthquake warning. Settler: Think pair share Are all earthquakes the same? Which Earthquakes are more dangerous? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pwlMHpeOto Do they occur everywhere? Starter: Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFB-qpiKccs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOCxNVDiOnE Practical: Main 1: Why might Earthquakes be difficult to predict? Why are the effects of the Earthquake on people who live there? If earthquakes are so destructive why don’t people evacuate everyone there is a mild tremor? Main 2: AFL: Homework What is your own experience with earthquakes? Has someone in your family experienced a earthquake? Write a diary entry for the day when the earthquake happened (fact or fiction), include any warning you had about the earthquake if you had them and what your response was, wether you thought the earthquake was dangerous and what happened afterwards. Ever wondered why some old buildings survive earthquakes and some don't - turns out the secret is retrofitting.

Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of these common pollutants on buildings and why these pollutants are of global concern ✤ Relate the effects of acid rain to sedimentary rocks.

Learning Objectives ✤ State the adverse effect of Global Warming and discuss why these pollutants are of global concern ✤ State that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gases and explain how it may contribute to climate change. Settler: Starter: Demonstration:

Learning Objectives ✤ Name the common pollutants in the air ✤ State the source of each of these pollutants. ✤ Describe and explain the presence of oxides of nitrogen in car engines and their catalytic removal. Settler: Some great combustion videos: The essential element Starter: Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubop-51dJjg Practical: Main 1: Main 2: AFL: Have pupils take poll on the website and discuss Homework Read "A students guide to Global Climate Change" Think about this question.. Is carbon dioxide always a bad thing?

A selection of pollution related powerpoint.

A lesson around the suitability of metals to their use.

To describe hot objects getting colder in terms of heat going out of the object To describe hot objects getting colder in terms of heat energy being transferred to surroundings To describe the relationship between energy transferred and increase in temperature

An explanation of how particle equations and molecular formula work.

To describe materials as insulators or conductors and give examples. To make a prediction with reasons with respect to best insulating material. To describe heating and cooling in terms of heat energy being transferred to or from surroundings.

Explain how heat is lost from the home or how heat enters the home when we don’t want it to. State ways we can reduce heat transfer in the home. Explain how cavity walls and double glazing reduce heat transfer

Small card sorts -ideal for starter, plenary, main or revision activity. Suitable for a wide range of abilities and great for working in mixed ability pairs. These are small (20 cards per page) recommended size for revision as with multiple sets. If only one or two sets are needed it is recommended you use the larger versions. AQA C1.1.1 Atoms, AQA C1.1.2 The periodic table, AQA C1.1.3 Chemical reactions AQA C1.2.1 Calcium carbonate, AQA C1.3.1 Extracting metals AQA C1.3.2 Alloys, AQA C1.3.3 Properties and uses of metals AQA C1.4.1 Crude oil, AQA C1.4.2 Hydrocarbons, AQA C1.4.3 Hydrocarbon fuels AQA C1.5.1 Obtaining useful substances from crude oil, AQA C1.5.2 Polymers AQA C1.5.3 Ethanol, AQA C1.6.1 Vegetable oils, AQA C1.6.2 Emulsions AQA C1.6.3 Saturated and unsaturated oils, AQA C1.7.1 The Earth''s crust AQA C1.7.2 The Earth's Atmosphere

A collection of resources to help with teaching AQA C2.6 Acids, bases and salts. Includes card sorts ready made in small and large - print these on coloured card and laminate for the best effect. Includes keyword glossary sheet - this can be given to pupils at the start of a topic or made available during revision as atopic specific resource. Includes mini test for a starter to judge prior knowledge, or used as a summative activity at the end of the lesson. Includes: AQA C2.6.1 Making salts AQA C2.6.2 Acids and bases

For every topic in C1 there is a small (under 5 mins) starter or plenary quiz, includes multiple choice answers to enable all pupils to access the content. Great assessment at the start of a revision lesson or ideal for tuition. Includes: AQA C1.1.1 Atoms AQA C1.1.2 The periodic table AQA C1.1.3 Chemical reactions AQA C1.2.1 Calcium carbonate AQA C1.3.1 Extracting metals AQA C1.3.2 Alloys AQA C1.3.3 Properties and uses of metals AQA C1.4.1 Crude oil AQA C1.4.2 Hydrocarbons AQA C1.4.3 Hydrocarbon fuels AQA C1.5.1 Obtaining useful substances from crude oil AQA C1.5.2 Polymers AQA C1.5.3 Ethanol AQA C1.6.1 Vegetable oils AQA C1.6.2 Emulsions AQA C1.6.3 Saturated and unsaturated oils AQA C1.7.1 The Earth''s crust AQA C1.7.2 The Earth's Atmosphere

A set of 10 lessons for teaching particles to year 6 or 7. All key behaviours explained with lots of practicals. Powerpoints including with key questions. Covers: Particles Particle model Changing state Gases Water Mixtures Filtering and evaporation Chromatography Distillation

I can never seem to find the right periodic table for my students so have made one ideal for KS3/4. Relative atomic mass is only measured to 1d.p. for elements such as Chlorine. Lanthinoids and Actinoides are ignored. Elements are not given capital letters. UK spelling. Relative atomic mass is shown above the chemical symbol. Includes livermorium and flerovium, moscovium etc. Colour coded groups. Groups 1-8 labelled.

The popular word game: now as a starter in your classroom. Use this as a starter on the whiteboard or as a competition between your classes through the half term. This is my bell task for all sets with a prize at the end of term for the set with the highest total score. Interactive, all pupils want to take part, good as a literacy and numeracy (calculating the scores) starter. Applicable to all subjects not just science. Includes printable tiles (I laminate mine and have sticky magnets on the back so they can work on my magnetic whiteboard). Powerpoint and PDF version included, keynote version on the jump link for OS X users - this works especially well. mrmortonscience
