The lesson starts with a riddle to promote scientific thinking before moving on to describe the 3 states of matter. The students have to construct meaning via putting the key phrases next to the state of matter. There is then a work sheet aimed at promoting scientific thinking before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

This is the perfect self-contained revision/ homework resource. On the front side there is the key information and diagrams and reverse there are strengthen and extension questions.

The lesson starts by recapping previous knowledge before the students melt ice making observations about temperature. This is then reviewed before understanding is assessed via a hinge point question. This leads to a differentiated GCSE 6 mark question before the lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

On the Wasted Years report recommendations this is the first lesson in a scheme of work that looks at preparing Year 6 students for secondary science. It is written by a secondary science teacher for the cross phase development program being run 2016-17. The spec is based on the interim assessment framework. The lesson states by reviewing solids, liquids and gases before starting to introduce the idea of particles and linking to the properties of the state of matter. This is modelled and presented to the students before they demonstrate their understanding using small balls/ marbles. The lesson then assesses understanding before directing the learning appropriate worksheet. The lesson review learning by the student producing a flow diagram and annotating inter conversions.

Included in this CPD presentation are ideas about differentiation, HPQ, entry tests and exit tickets. **for inspiring training sessions only this will not apply to every school.

The lesson is aimed at year 8-9 and focuses on efficiency . The lesson encourages the student to work out the efficiency calculation on their own before testing their understanding, the student then complete different tasks (high quality differentiation) to best suit their ability. the lesson finishes with an exam questions and exit ticket.

The lesson looks at the 3 methods of heat transfer: radiation, convection and conduction. This is done via demonstrations and discussion. With a double bubble the students take the ideas of convection and radiation and compare and contrast them before they write a GCSE style 6 mark questions, this is differentiated via a hinge point question. The lessons concludes with an exit ticket.

On the Wasted Years report recommendations this is the second lesson in a scheme of work that looks at preparing Year 6 students for secondary science. It is written by a secondary science teacher for the cross phase development program being run 2016-17. The spec is based on the interim assessment framework (IAF). The lesson starts by reviewing previous learning before introducing the skills focused practical, adhering to the IAF. The students then record the results on a table before producing a graph. The lesson finishes with a structured conclusion to ensure that the learning has been achieved.

This is a revision resource that encourages independence and learning of key outcomes. This would take a couple of lessons to complete as there are multiple tasks to improve understanding.

Practical based lesson embedding graph skills.

Well resourced lesson specific to Edexcel CC1-CC2.

Well differentiated lesson recapping melting points and mixtures.

This resource targets student action, there is some instruction and then multiple opportunities for students to practice this key GCSE concept.

Practical based lesson focussing on table drawing skills and lab saftey.

practical based lesson investigating chromatography and RF values.

To establish baseline knowledge all students have the opportunity to sit this assessment and remediate knowledge gaps from key stage 3. This is not a standalone resource and should be purchased alongside others in the series.

The lesson looks at the development of the modern periodic table, this includes the story of Mendeleev. It helps if you have access to the edexcel textbooks as the copy of the page is not of good quality.

Here is a SOLO taxonomy task that scaffolds learning around the relationship between atomic number and the periodic table.

This lesson on isotopes covers the basic theory and then assesses understanding with a GCSE 6 mark question.
