Hazards and risk assessment in science lab foldable, hazcards, hazard symbols and safety moveable,

(1)
Students cut out the sheets and take in sticking the 'window' pane down so that the symbol, hazard and controlling risks strips can slide up and down in their exercise books. Activity can be used to self assess knowledge, peer assess each other and then match up symbols,to hazards to controlling risks on the accompanying worksheet table. For extension work - encourage learners to extend their learning by looking up other symbols such as compressed and radiation.

This is set up as a time saver so you can track what topics have been covered in your department for Y9,10 and 11. It has been formatted so all you need to do is type in the group and set, put the name of their teacher in and then once a topic has been completed type in a 9 for Y9, 10 for Y10 and 11 for Y11. This will change colour and keep you track and monitor who has been taught which unit.

A quiz that you will be able to complete within a 1h lesson or as a lunch time , with answers and answer sheet. Round 1 - Guess the scientist in the sceince film Round 2 - name the science song Round 3 - who was the scientists and what was the discovery? Round 4 - where were theses scientists born? Round 5 - name the discoveries and order them! Edited - July 2017 and updated None of the rounds require use of youtube or external sites, as I am aware these are often blocked in some schools.

A cut and stick 'Earth' that when put together adds a bit of class to a boring drawing in the exercise book. It is quick and easy to put together and can be printed on A5 (so 2 pages to one piece of A4). When it is complete the Earth folds over as do the layers in the these amazing interactive notebook foldable This resource contains the Earth model to cut out, extra questions, instructions to how to complete the model and a brief research lesson plan.
