A double lesson for KS3 pupils to start the Activate 2 Energy Unit.
Guides students to learn about the energy we get from food and how quickly we use that energy through various activities.
First LO covered by: Video, Class discussion, Higher or lower game
LO2: Class discussion with answers + Graph drawing (working scientifically)
LO3: Example calculation + 5 further calculations of energy consumed vs energy used. (numeracy skills)
This lesson is expected to take between 90-120 minutes.
No printed resources needed.
Suitable for all year groups but I use this with year 7s as a core lesson in teaching students how to 'work scientifically'.
There are 2 lessons in this pack.
Both lessons come complete with mini-pleanaries, 1 worksheet each lesson and a learning tracker for students to show their progress on the learning objectives.
This fits in very nicely with the Oxford Activate SOW but can be used with an SOW as it is a very important topic for students to understand early on in secondary school or even late primary.
I spend a lot of time on making my lessons and only upload the best to TES premium so I hope you find these useful, leave me feedback/stars and see my other upload.
An introduction to Atoms and Atomic structure.
Lessons includes:
- Starter question followed by Title and LOs
- Interesting atomic facts
- How to draw an atom
- Making a 3D atom (with instructions)
- Extension Worksheet (next step sheet)
- Mini-whiteboard AFL plenary
The content of this lesson is in more detail than standard KS3 lessons on atoms. I believe learning about electrons, protons and their position inside an atom is vital for learning about the periodic table, static electricity and so on later in KS3.

Asks about the effect of different concentrations on rates of reaction, as well as the possible effects of temperature, catalysts and particle size.
Hope this is useful.

Similar to Badger tasks, this task has been created with literacy and scientific vocabulary in mind.
You can download the files as an editable Powerpoint or a flat Printable PDF.
The student file consists of a front page asking students to explain the workings of the human body from organelles up to the full organism. Success criteria is detailed within an 'IDEAL' grid, and keywords are given.
After 2 pages there is an area for teachers to give feedback and students to respond.
I have also written up a 4 page 'IDEAL' answer for the task which can be used as a guide or read out to the class from time to time.
I will be making many more of these and uploading them on to TES throughout the year so please look out for them.
Key-search-words: human body, organs, organism, organ systems, organelles, organisation, specialised cells, quality of written communication, essay.
What happens to the energy used in appliances?
What are Sankey Diagrams?
How can you draw accurate Sankey diagrams?
This powerpoint has many activities with teacher answers to guide students through drawing and understanding Sankey diagrams.
To use this lesson to it's fullest, students will need mini-whiteboards and the teacher could use the interactive whiteboard to get students to draw on.
Please also check out my other resources for top quality teaching materials.
Made for 2 x 45min. lessons.
Lots of activities for students to practice and share their understanding.
The last 5 slides are printable to be used as worksheets for the 2 lessons.
Print double-sided, 2-per-page.
Please leave a review, it really helps out :)

11 Quizzes with 6 questions each.
+ 1 practice slide to explain the game to students.
I use this as a form activity/competition with my year 7s.
It’s probably best suited to GCSE and A-level form groups as some of the phrases can be pretty tough to figure out.
