I have again borrowed heavily from others and put in a few tweaks of my own as well to produce a more ordered red shift and Doppler effect lesson for AQA core science primarily, hope it helps

lesson where pupils compare energy efficiencies of different cars, using clips from top gear and data on efficiency of cars over the years, they have to produce an article describing which cars they would choose. it also involves calculating efficiency

A formtime reading challenge, with a simple introductory challenge and survey to see the pupils reading habits before they start the challenge, I then set my pupils a target for the end of the year of numbers of books for them to have read as a class and gave them all a reading achievement sheet that they will be using to gain extra rewards for, this can be followed up with a weekly reading session during form time

A whole lesson structure around hookes law good for low ability or entry level, starts with a video and then gets students to design a bungee rope for a toy using elastic bands, the toy must bungee off a table hit a bowl of water and then bounce back up, they can test it first. Also included is the results table and some plenary questions to help with conclusions, and a way of scoring the jumps

An investigation where pupils see what parts of a body would survive being immersed in acid the experiment can include putting plastic, calcium (labelled bone), meat (i used mince) and zinc (fillings). There are 2 levels of response sheet to go with the experiment could be for a science club or as part of a lesson

to help monitor progress a simple marking proforma sheet, that has a star and a wish for you to fill in and a space for the student to respond

A resource specifically designed to help BTEC students on principles of applied science pass part of Unit 4 learning aim A. This uses a simulation scenario where pupils have a population of dinosaurs on an island (counters are included if you don't have access to toy dinosaurs, however any toy animal would do). They then have some action cards to act out on their island (these are cut up shuffled and split into half) monitoring the number of dinosaurs at each turn. They can then draw a population graph and answer the questions in the booklet that progress up to Distinction or A grade, also included is a peer assessment sheet, this doesn't mention grades it uses pictures of dinosaurs instead however they correspond to pass, merit and distinction (or C,B and A). I find modelling populations and their changes in this way really helps pupils (especially lower ability pupils) grasp the concept of what factors affect populations better than any other way I have tried to teach the topic.

An 8 week homework project for science, encompassing a range of tasks, from watching a science video and reviewing it to producing a revision card on a subject they have been studying. Can fit any year group and covers a range of subjects, vould be adapted for any other subect in school too, pupils hand in work as they complete it, so is easily tracked and activiely engages them in work, i tried this at my school and got significantly more homework handed in and some really creative pieces of work completed

An apprentice style biscuit design lesson for enterprise, has a lesson starter where you watch part of the apprentice and a planning sheet for their biscuit, I added an extension where they also have to design a print or TV advert to

a lesson that looks at forces through the use of movie special effects, to show how science is applied in real life. Pupils start with a demonstration of sugar glass (how to make instructions and video and video of it breaking included) they then go on to look at and label the forces involved in a fight (hence the judo) and finally apply there forces knowledge to storyboarding an action scene for a movie. It is fully differentiated for all pupils and comes with help labels for lower ability pupils.

A planning sheet I made for the film canister rocket experiment, which is a fun end of term activity, but this is an experiment planning sheet that can be edited and used for any experiment, I have made an easier and harder version. I intend to print it A3 and give it to the pupils, thereby making a ready made display.

A really basic treating a cut worksheet for pupils with severe learning disabilities or for early years. I used it with pupils following the AFELS criteria
