A unit of lessons for Year 7.
Ideas taken from these resources:
1. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-science--practical-investigations--part-1-6339323
2. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/starting-science-booklet-6431570
Based on activate. Images in powerpoints taken from the book.
A lesson on Carbon-Carbon bond formation, contains paid for copyrighted material from savemyexams which are not included in the download.
Also contains RSC stater for 10 questions.
NEW KS3
Food and fuel - based on Activate P2.1
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson
SS1 - Worksheet looking at energy content in different food (adapted)
SS2 - Worksheet where students have to draw a bar graph about energy transfers (adapted and differentiated).
Whole unit is available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/energy-unit-new-ks3-11251540
NEW KS3
Work, energy and machines - based on Activate P2.8
This lesson includes resources adapted from other sources
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson where students calculate work done, there is a whole class AfL activity followed by a period where students answer questions - you may need to provide additional extension questions for your class. There is then a simple discussion of levers and gears and how they make work easier.
SS1 - differentiated work done calculations
SS2 - simple machines - how do these force multipliers work and how do they obey the law of conservation of energy.

NEW KS3
Energy and temperature - based on Activate P2.3
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson students look at the difference between heat and temperature. Includes an extended writing task.
SS1 - Practical (adapted from Activate, tech notes are linked if you have access - if not it is obvious what is necessary)
SS2 - Worksheet shared from a member of my department.

NEW KS3
Energy transfer: radiation - based on Activate P2.5
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson where students work independently to complete a comprehension grid and includes a practical
SS1 - Comprehension grid - made for Activate, can easily be adapted for Exploring Science or a print out from bitesize or even filled in watching a video
SS2 - Extension task - adapted from something I made during my PGCE - i can't remember the SOL the placement school used.

NEW KS3
Energy adds up - based on Activate P2.2
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson
SS1 - Practical sheet. The practical in this can be any sort of energy circus where the energy transfers are obvious.

NEW KS3
Energy resources - based on Activate P2.6
This lesson includes this reosurce as a main activity https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/renewable-energy-resources-fact-sheets-6376633
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson where students look at the sun being the basis of energy on earth, the formation of coal, oil and gas - my class have just studied the rock cycle, a video link on generating electiricty (could be used as a dictogloss or alongside the worksheet), students then need to complete a poster activity.
SS1 - Starter - from exploring science the source is the sun for students to discuss
SS2 - Generating electricity - the energy transformations that happen inside a power station
SS3 - not provided - the amazing resource linked above.

NEW KS3
Energy transfer: particles - based on Activate P2.4
This lesson contains some resources that have been adapted from other sources.
Includes:
Powerpoint - whole lesson - includes animations (i think from boardworks?) demos necessary!
SS1 - body outline for students to add clothing and accessories that help keep them warm (starter & plenary)
SS2 - Wetsuit comprehension task - adapted from an old exploring science task.
