A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off).
Lesson 1:
Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them.
Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work.
Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life.
Lesson 2:
Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'.
Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers.
Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive.
Lesson 3:
Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements.
Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene.
Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
CB4c lesson for the new Edexcel Science GCSE looking at Classification.
Lesson includes what classification is, what classification might be based on, the five kingdoms, what Archaea are and the three domain system.
*All of CB4 can be found here (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-cb4-11363744)*
The Edexcel CB4 'natural selection and genetic modification' topic summarised on a (double sided) page. Intended for use in helping students revise for the end of topic test.
