Hi,
This activity is designed to get students to evaluate some sample student work, which in turn informs their writing of a detailed 6 mark longer question. It is scaffolded to enable students to make progress in their understanding of the concepts needed for the rates unit.
This resource is based on the scenario that the Titanic sank more quickly than expected due to cost cutting measures linked to poor quality rivets, which caused steel panels to break free and let in water quicker than models predicted. It’s a bit of fun that frames the learning in context for the students.
This worksheet is suitable for Years 8-11. Activities in the top left hand corner are the easier tasks, with support and differentiation built into the questions. As students become more confident, the scaffolding is gradually reduced. Students slowly work their way up the Blooms’ heirarchy of skills as they complete each part of the puzzle.
This starter introduces the students to the concept of a producing a detailed risk assessment rather than writing a basic list of safety precautions. It scaffolds the idea of a risk assessment and the template can be adapted to suit any particular experiment.
