New GCSE lesson on rusting for the AQA syllabus. Previous lesson I had the students set up the practical (nails in different conditions) to be ready to look at in this lesson. Differentiated throughout and scaffolded exam question also provided for plenary or homework. Learning Objectives: Describe what rusting is and the factors that cause it to happen Explain how different methods can prevent rusting from occurring Justify why alloys are used

This lesson is is on breathing and gas exchange looking at the structure of the system and also the adaptations. It is always good to demonstrate the bell jar balloons as a model for the lungs in this lesson too. Learning Objectives: Describe the organs in the respiratory system Explain the functions of the organs in the respiratory system in inhalation and exhalation Explain how the structure of the respiratory is related to its function

A lesson created for the maths department to use during science week, looking at graph work and relative formula mass. Can be used in science lessons too! Differentiated throughout. Learning Objectives: Describe what is needed to draw a graph Calculate the relative formula mass of compounds Analyse equations to work out the mass of unknown substances

These flashcards are based on fact recall for Physics paper 1. They are aimed at combined science students, but easily adapted for separate science students. They are a great activity for class, homework or extended days. Relevant for both year 10 and year 11 students.

Lesson looking at using the speed equation with differentiated questions throughout. I took the students outside to time themselves walking, jogging and running different distances. They then calculated their speeds back int eh classroom (you could then get them to draw a bar graph of their results as practice for drawing graphs!). Homework in this lesson is a reverse crossword (a crossword in which the students have to think what the clues would be for each word) Learning Objectives: Recall the equation and formula triangle to calculate speed Calculate distance, time and speed using the equation

This activity assists students in planning selected Biology required practicals. Each practical has an overview with an equipment list as well as a student work sheet with cues. Suitable for use with years 9-11.

This activity assists students in planning selected Chemistry required practicals. Each practical has an overview with an equipment list as well as a student work sheet with cues. Suitable for use with years 9-11.

These three lessons were used with Year 7s at the beginning of the year to get them used to the process in an investigation, however they could be done with any year group (or whenever you need a ‘filler leson’ throughout the year!). Gets the students thinking about variables and constructing methods. Differentiated throughout.

Lesson covering the centre of mass and working out the centre of mass of regular and irregular objects. Differentiated throughout and the practical involving finding the centre of mass of irregular shapes. Learning Objectives: Describe what is meant by the centre of mass of a body and how to find it Explain why objects topple over Explain how to find the centre of mass of an irregular object

These flashcards are deigned to improve students recall of the equations. They are aimed at combined science and separate science students. They are a great activity for class, homework or extended days. Relevant for both year 10 and year 11 students.

Lesson looking at the blast furnace and using displacement to extract the iron. Includes the experiment using a matchstick to extract iron (instructions in the lesson). Has a fantastic (in my opinion) plenary using Lego characters to answer questions. The students collect different strips of paper with different questions and Lego parts to construct a Lego character, the students loved it! DIfferentiated questions throughout. Learning Objectives: Describe the process of extracting iron Describe how carbon is used in a blast furnace to remove metal from its ore Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the process

A lesson created for the History department to use during science week, looking at how medicine has developed over time starting with the Romans. Can be used in science lessons too! Differentiated throughout. Learning Objectives: Describe the way illness was dealt with in the earliest time periods Explain why survival rate improved Compare methods of surgery in different time periods

Lesson created for the French department for science week on food chains. All translated into French (and checked!) and differentiated throughout. Suitable for KS3 or low ability KS4. NOTE: this is a SMART board document Learning Objectives: Describe the way illness was dealt with in the earliest time periods Explain why survival rate improved Compare methods of surgery in different time periods

This STEM lesson involves the students selecting certain aspects of a cycling team. It will promote an interest in the subject as it is context led. The resource involves students completing physics calculations and promotes data analysis skills. The lesson is suitable for year 10 and year 11

Lesson on radioactive decay, looking at alpha, beta and gamma decay. Differentiated sheets included Learning Objectives: Identify each type of radioactive decay Describe the properties of each radioactive decay Compare the differences between alpha and beta decay
