Aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Ions recap, what charge do elements have in different groups Stretch question to think about how group 1 and 2 will interact with group 6 and 7 Main – Go through the video and answer the questions, go through answers Practice drawing ionic compounds  Extension:  explain the difference between KBr and K2O Go through the answers which are on the slides Exam question practice to move onto if have a chance Plenary 4 mark exam question – peer assess Good to show the detail they need in their answers

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Identify the atom on the board Stretch – how do you know which atom it is Main – Recap how to find out electron/proton/neutron numbers and how to draw electron configuration. Think pair share, what can the two atoms do to have full outer shells Students explain in their books what a positive and negative ion is 3 quick questions – green pen mark Go through rules so we always know the charges of common ions Worksheet to complete – label periodic table with rules and then practice drawing ions Extension: describe and explain how ions are formed Plenary Exam question plenary – peer assess

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Mark homework Main – Think pair share – spot the difference between ionic and covalent bonding. Then write down definition of covalent bonding Watch video, only watch until 2 minutes. Answer questions whilst video is going. Goo through and green pen answers after Go through the two examples on the board and show what happens Students then have a go at completing their worksheet to show covalent bonds Extension: decide if the compounds are ionic or covalent and explain how they know Plenary Plenary, fill in the gaps and go over answers

aimed at a lower ability class Starter Activity Using previous knowledge make predictions about ionic compounds Main – Go through and discuss giant ionic lattices Students move around the room to find the information sheet to find out if there prediction was correct or not and why Practical with a dissolved ionic compound to show it can conduct electricity. Make sure say that molten ionic compounds too and what a molten ionic compound is Plenary Exam question plenary

Aimed at a low ability class. Starter Activity Stick in objective sheets for this topic. Starter question what makes each person different. Extension task: why do we look different Main – Literacy task, focus on the key word variation: write a definition, then write their own sentence using it, then draw a picture to show the key word also Draw a venn diagram and decide if the variation is genetic, environmental or both. Highlight what genetic means Go through answers and discuss why students have put it there Think, pair, share, what similarities and differences would twins have if they were separated at birth Answer questions about twins using data provided Plenary Recap tick grid, which features are due to the environment, genes or both

Aimed at a low ability class Starter Activity why do we breed different types of dog Extension: how do we do this Main – Watch the video, then students to write their own idea of what selective breeding is from the video Give students information from slides, students then make a flow chart to show how a cow could be selectively bred for a high milk yield Use ipads to find out about different dog breeds and why we selectively breed them Extension: are there any other animals/plants we selectively breed and why Plenary As a class put the statements on the board in order to explain selective breeding of wolves

A document of case studies of core science careers. All designed for a reading age of 11. 39 different science career fact files

For low ability students. targets level 4 Starter: differentiated stater based on prior learning of the topic answers on following slide Main: think pair share: where do we get waste water from video: watch a video, try and pick out what the stages of treatment for waste water are differentiated worksheets, to explain the process of waste water treatment Extension: differentiated extension questions Plenary: copy and complete two sentences

Aimed at a low ability class Starter Activity Pictures of animals with the albinism mutation, students decide if they think this is beneficial or not and explain their answer Main – Think pair share for one minute to discuss the word mutation. Then do a vocab lab for the definition Fill in the blanks about mutations, print for LA students Watch video about Charles darwins natural selection. Then cut and stick the statements into order to describe natural selection. Green pen mark Explain how the lion is adapted and how these adaptations are beneficial. Complete exam questions. Extension question available on powerpoint. Plenary Mark exam question

Aimed at low ability students. Targets of level 4. Starter task, green pen. Revision from previous topics Main – Recap types of waves, and key points from last topic, students fill in the gaps. Explain journey of the wave focusing on the wave is coming from a source and being absorbed Students stick in EM spectrum, label their spectrum as you go through and label key properties. Extension question for students if other students are slow to label Chart with uses of EM waves, to engage and show students we use these all the time, they will study these in future lessons. Discuss visible light and explain this is the only wavelength that can be seen, mention wavelengths of visible light A very annoying, yet catchy video, to try and reinforce the order of the waves. Worksheet from kerboodle physics foundation workbook P.77. Recap learning for the day and summaries the lesson. Extension: wavelength question practice (answers for worksheet and extension are available on the slides) Green pen answers, Plenary Verbal plenary questions: try and list the EM waves in order from longest to shortest without books.

Starter Activity Starter questions about the microscope Main – Students stick microscopes in the middle of their page. Use the information on the slide to label the parts of the microscope.  Extension: to explain how to use a microscope Check answers – answers on the PowerPoint. Students check answers, ensure students know the function of each part of the microscope. Explain magnification and resolution, get students to write the definitions. Think pair share, pictures of light and electron microscopes, see what students can summarise as differences Students to make a grid in their books light vs electron microscopes, make notes on any differences from the video Sort the statements and go through answers Explain how to work out total magnification and then practice. Explain the magnification equation and then practice using it Plenary Fill in the gaps in the sentences
