Capturing Seasonal Change
This activity is aimed at KS1 learners exploring seasonal change. Due to the nature of seasonal change, the suggested activity is intended to be run over a long period of time (up to one year).
Food chains & energy transfer (updated)
This is an editable worksheet based activity that includes some higher order thinking to explore the ideas around energy transfer in simple food chains. Two versions are included, one with revised GCSE (1-9) grades, the other without. (please note that grade indications are only approximate). Why not try getting learners to choose a selection of questions to answer (e.g. do Q1-4 or Q3-8) An answer sheet is included.
This resource was originally designed for OCR 21st Century Science unit B3, but still applies across a range of exam specifications.
Keywords: energy, transfer, food chain, efficiency
What killed the Mammoths (editable)
This is a collection of resources that would work well as a lesson. A lesson outline is provided showing how the resources might be used together. There is an email designed to set the scene and for use as as a ‘hook’. There are also sheets for learners to summarise their learning (tweet).
You may want to supplement the resources with pictures of a woolly mammoth (link only due to copyright restrctions) and video ‘footage’ e.g from Ice Age movie.
This was designed as lesson for a KS3 nurture group although would be suitable for KS2 or other KS3 groups with adaptation.
Please note that this is an editable version. A free, non-editable version is also available.
Eating a sandwich - modelling digestion
There are two parts to this activity, one is a practical activity to model the process of digestion. The other is a powerpoint slideshow to show what happens to the food on its journey through the body. If using with KS3 then the learning outcomes on the activity plan could also include breaking up of molecules in digestion. If using with KS2 for the new curriculum, the powerpoint will include some terms/slides that you may wish to miss out, so it has been left in an editable form.
Please ensure that you carry out a risk assessment before carrying out a practical activity.
