This is based on the Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Text books. It includes what pages are relevant for those on Triple Science (higher tier) , what required practicals are and key vocabulary for each topic. I use these as a introduction to new topics and throughout the unit. Students are able to tick lessons as they complete them and ensure they know the required vocabulary. They help students to target their revision and understand what they need to do to catch up if they miss lessons.

This group of resources has been created for use as induction to science work for year 6 students preparing for secondary school. They can generally be used by KS2 and KS3 students (years 3 to 8) though. Rainbow in a Jar: In Science, one of the things we learn is density in solids and liquids. Some liquids don’t mix because they are more or less dense than others. By colouring them with dye, you can create a rainbow!

This is a task sheet designed to last an entire lesson. I developed this for cover work but have also used this in a teacher led lesson. The sheet contains the key information for the lesson and a variety of tasks for the students to complete. The tasks follow a difficulty level ladder based on Blooms but adapted to the Science classroom: Recall (simplest) Understand Apply Analyse Evaluate Create (hardest) The lessons follow the Collins KS3 book scheme.

This is based on the Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Text books. It includes what pages are relevant for those on Foundation Science, Trilogy (foundation tier) , what required practicals are and key vocabulary for each topic. I use these as a introduction to new topics and throughout the unit. Students are able to tick lessons as they complete them and ensure they know the required vocabulary. They help students to target their revision and understand what they need to do to catch up if they miss lessons.

Two lessons on renewable and non-renewable resources. Structure provided for a research task for a presentation and debate on different energy supplies.

A list of what lessons need to be learnt at each level (triple, combined higher and combined foundation). Based on the Collins text books.

A lesson looking at drawing and interpreting a distance-time graph.

A lesson, with practical plan on the slides, looking at dissipation of energy.

This is based on the Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Text books. It includes what pages are relevant for those on Combined Science, Trilogy (higher tier) , what the required practicals are and key vocabulary for each topic. I use these as a introduction to new topics and throughout the unit. Students are able to tick lessons as they complete them and ensure they know the required vocabulary. They help students to target their revision and understand what they need to do to catch up if they miss lessons.

Slides for a lesson with a can crushing demo. Sentences starters for completion afterwards.

Lesson slides for specific heat capacity and suggestions for an activity.

Lesson slides and exit tickets for investigating Hooke’s Law.

A presentation with an activity to model half-life and questions for the students to complete. It should take an hour for the class to complete. Can be stretched to cover two lessons for a low ability group.

Aimed at a low-ability KS4 class at the beginning of the energy unit or at the end of a KS3 unit.

A checklist for organisation of revision for the new 9-1 GCSE specification. Taken from the specification. Clearly marks what is triple science knowledge and what is higher tier knowledge.

A checklist for organisation of revision or teaching for the new 9-1 GCSE specification. Taken from the specification. Clearly marks what is triple science knowledge.

Lesson slides looking at atmospheric pressure and weather fronts. Aimed at mid-ability KS3 students.

A table to be completed looking at different nuclear equations.

This group of resources has been created for use as induction to science work for year 6 students preparing for secondary school. They can generally be used by KS2 and KS3 students (years 3 to 8) though. Egg Drop Challenge: In Science, some of the things we learn about are air resistance, stopping times and elasticity. These can all be explored through an egg drop challenge.
