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 resource is the learning outcome sheet to CB4 - from the new Edexcel GCSE spec. This is not a stand alone resource but an essential part if purchasing a series of lessons.

The lesson starts by matching the keywords to the images. The lesson then moves to review the examples of the evolution of giraffes linking each stage to the exam specification. The students then rate their confidence and move on to differentiated storyboard tasks looking at the evolution of the woolly mammoth. The lesson finishes with a 6 mark question with a mark scheme so the students can self-assess their answers.

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.

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.

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.

This was a CPD session on the importance of modelling for the students. The presentation focuses on a case study that I ran over three lessons using model answers rather than personalised feedback. The CPD session also includes the evidence for it.

This CPD session is set to last about 20 mins. I used this technique extensively as a science teacher; both to assess misconception and to drive differentiation. The presentation includes examples from other subjects as well as the theory and justification to using them.

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 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.

This is the Knowledge organiser with progress questions and learning outcome tracking sheet for the topic - particles.

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.

This is the end of unit test that assesses learning the the series of work. There is a grade converter to give and accurate idea of the 9-1 grades these student would currently be working at. There is a flight path to assess whether the student is on track or not.

The lesson focuses on the students ability to answer short answer assessment. Once the test is done the student revise ares of weakness using the knowledge organiser.

The lesson starts by looking at the video of the detonator ride. The students then produce a flow diagram before attempting a first draft of the 6 mark answer.

The lesson starts by explain the law of thermodynamics before the student experiment with a series of mini-activities and identify the energy transfer happening within them. The learning is assess via a hinge point question before a differentiated activity. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

The lesson starts by reviewing previous learning with the knowledge organiser. The lesson then moves to discuss the 3 potential energies before the students attempt a pyramid of differentiated tasks. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

The lesson focuses on Bunsen burner safety and incorporating the idea of chemical potential energy. Would not recommend as a stand alone lesson.

The lesson make much use of AFL and directs students to the most appropriate task. The lessons starts by describing different situations that diffusion takes place in. The understanding is then assessed by a hinge question with differentiated task as the outcome for this. The lesson moves on to discuss osmosis before assessing understanding and directing students to the most appropriate task. Active transport is reviewed before learning is concluded with an exit ticket.
