Worksheets + Answer Sheets
3 worksheets to help students get to grips with explaining elements, compounds and mixtures.
- The foundation worksheet is a simple wordsearch with a small descriptive activity at the bottom of the worksheet.
- The intermediate worksheet provides scaffolding for students to describe what the different particle diagrams are showing. Elements, compounds or mixtures?
- The advanced worksheet provides less scaffolding and encourages students to come up with their own descriptions for elements, compounds and mixtures, using what they see in the diagrams.
All worksheets can be downloaded in powerpoint for editing, and pdf format for easy printing.

QFL, LOs and Starter
Group work for main activity (Sharing prior knowledge)
Categorising changes for boys and girls activity

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.
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.

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.

All Learning Objectives in line with Oxford Activate SOW for Year 8s.
Please leave feedback rate once used.
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.
