Objectives Guidance and worksheets 2003

Written for Go Science but can be used with any scheme to improve vocabulary.

This is a lesson plan and associated worksheets suitable for foundation level students. For those unfamiliar with the graphic organiser, once students have filled in their sections they need to use their notes to compile a piece of text. YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO OXBOX CHEMISTRY BOOKS.

Use the presentation and the lesson plan as an overview. 3 different worksheets (best printed as booklets) for different groups (struggling scientists are the lower ability groups). Lesson starts off with the most fabulous colour changing catalytic reaction showing that catalysts do not change or get used up in the reaction. I found it best to print these in small booklet form.

Suitable for foundation /SEN/ EAL students. READING AGE FOR ALL TEXT (using Flesch-Kincade): 11 YEARS + This is best used with this text (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/foundation-text-on-dna-and-the-genome-11801021) that summarises and simplifies the core ideas, as well as a worksheet that can besimply folded into an interactive resource (video demonstrates how). Core ideas covered - what is DNA? - What are genes? - What are chromosomes? - What is a genome? -Why does understanding the genome matter?

A piece of text designed as a help sheet / revision sheet on transverse waves and related calculations.

Two puzzles I created to help revision with Homeostasis. Tarsia software can be downloaded free of charge from Hermitech Laboratories.

Use as a starter/through the door activity. Helps students to track progress during the lesson. Please let me know if you find these useful and I will upload more.

Learning Mat to be used for OCR 21C B4 topic.

Use as a starter/through the door activity. Helps students to track progress during the lesson.

Use as a settler/starter activity. Students can also refer to the outcomes and track progress.

Translucent, Transparent, Opaque etc. Use as a starter/through the door activity. Helps students to track progress during the lesson.

Puzzle I created to help students get to grips with the HSW terminology. Tarsia software can be downloaded free of charge from Hermitech Laboratories. I would suggest that the attached glossary be given to lower ability to students. This activity should take about 20 minutes. The print maybe a bit small on one or two of the triangles so you may want to enlarge to to A3.

Use as a starter/through the door activity. Helps students to track progress during the lesson.

Attached is a presentation and worksheet for students to complete. Activity 1 requires AQA Applied Science books but is not entirely necessary. You will require a class set of 2p pieces and some pipettes if you wish to carry out the investigation.

A complete set of level descriptors from Level 3 up to and including Level 8. Useful for setting objectives and AfL. Great to use with SOLO taxonomy work stations or individual work activities.

Ready to go lesson. Practical investigation on calculating volume, density and drawing conclusions. Worksheet based on an old exploring science investigation. Follow weblink for Lesson 4. L3 – I can say whether upthrust is a push or pull force L4 I can say what density is L5 - I can describe upthrust L6 – I can explain why some objects float and others sink using the concept of density.

Use as settlers/starters and students can track their progress during the lesson. Please leave a comment if you find the resource helpful and I will upload more.
