A useful writing frame especially for lower ability which can be tweaked to suit all abilities and helps to scaffold the learning of science students

A sc1 lesson based on cooling Tea. This was taken from an idea by OCR as practice coursework

A whole lesson on heart and information for an information circus which also includes the power point.

This is a lesson that was used for a year 7 group where they mainly looked at gel cubes which were dyed with phenolphthalein and acid was dropped on different sized cubes to see rate of diffusion. I focused on the Skills side of the lesson and it was rated outstanding . I hope you find it useful.

Year 7, 8 and 9 assessments I have made for all the KS3 topics. They blend SATS style tests with level assessed tasks. This includes celebrities to make it more appealing.

This lesson achieved an outstanding grade during observation and the students thoroughly enjoyed learning about bath bombs and carbonates and acid. It is aimed at a lower group but can easily be tweaked for middle or higher groups. The worksheets are differentiated and can be found within the powerpoint. There is also a designing a bath bomb sheet within the powerpoint too. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine did.

A fun lesson used on a core curriculum evening to give a sample lesson to parents. This involves the parents and students working together to investigate the best techniques used to cool down tea. This lesson was done in 20 minute slots to 3 separate groups but can be stretched out to a full lesson. It includes a fun voice over activity at the end where students need to use their imagination and science skills to try and make a voice over for a man cooling tea in an unusual way. Enjoy

This is a resource made for year 6 coming into year 7. The aim of this is to do this over the 6 weeks holiday and give it to their science teacher on their first week back. It will enable the teacher to work out their science and literacy skills and for them to start exploring some of the science topics studied at secondary school. It is aimed to be fun and research based. Enjoy

A little pocket guide to give new teacher inspiration and to freshen up ideas for teachers who have been teaching for a while. 10 years of experience wrapped up in a little pocket guide. Enjoy!

Worksheets which cover work from the new criteria. All worksheets use different styles of learning too

These are KS3 updated schemes of work which were given in booklet form to teachers to plan lesson. The worksheets that are referred to are from the exploring science folders. These are not intended be full schemes of work. They present core ideas that all teachers must do and the teachers can still add their own individuality into the lesson.

This resource can be used in the middle of the topic or given for H/W to assess the students knowledge without the need to give a full test. This should hopefully help you to assess any weaker areas before finishing the topic.

This is a condensed scheme of work written for teachers to get a quick overview of lesson content and practicals based on the ACTIVATE year 8 scheme.
