A table for year 7 pupils to fill out on the properties of solids, liquids and gases. Under the title of the state of matter, the box is there for pupils to draw a particle diagram of the solids, liquid or gas.
The worksheet is designed to be filled out and discussed as a whole class activity, and then pupils use this to classify substances which are typically difficult to classify. E.g custard, jelly, sand etc.
Year 8 revision lesson on 'How living things interact&' - covers food webs, food chains, pyramids of number, pyramids of biomass etc. Activities include describing game, key words bingo and multiple choice quiz.
Designed for the lower ability end of a mid to low ability group of year 9 pupils as part of a Core, Challenge and Super-Challenge activity on combustion.
The worksheets covers combustion, fuels, hydrocarbons, word equations and the combination of carbon with oxygen.
Lesson and activities for AQAs A2 Biology 1.1 Populations and ecosystems. Any reference to questions and/or pages from the book refer to Nelson Thorne's AQA A2 Biology student book, ISBN 978-0748798131.
Orginally designed for a high ability year 8 group to cut and stick the organisms, drawing lines to show the feeding relationships.
The blank card was left for the pupils to draw the sun, but this could be taken out/sun drawn on for the pupils depending on ability.
This activity was also used with an SEN year 9 class for revision. The cards were laminated and cut out for them, as were the arrows. Pupils then sorted the cards into simple food chains and expanded as they wished - these were then noted down in their books.
Lesson plan and activities for year 7 on pregnanacy. Lesson covers stages of development in the foetus as well as new key words and diagrams. Includes an AfL plenary task.
Lesson and activities (one taken from another TES user - fiendishlyclver thank you!) designed for AQAs C1.1 Extracting Metals. Designed for a SEN class with MLD.
