This is aimed at a low ability KS3 class. It has the theme of Star Wars. I would like to say that the Star Wars examples are from RichardBonser (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/moments-levers-and-pivots-introduction-with-star-wars-11204405) Pupil begin by doing a wordsearch. They then go over the equation for a moment. The using examples they calculate moments. Pupils then discuss how changing the distance an affect the moment. Pupils complete some calculations and then do an experiment using meter rulers and wooden triangles. Finally they do a challenge question.

This is a low ability KS3 lesson, with the theme of Disney's Frozen. Pupils begin with a "Think, Pair and Share" of how they will obtain fresh water from salt water on a beach. They then go onto do the rock salt experiment, creating a solution and then separating the salt and water, for higher ability classes get them to capture the fresh water, rather than letting it evaporate. Pupils then go onto a chromatography practical. Use a number of different green pens (one being the sample) and get pupils to determine which green pen was used in a scenario. You could also demo distillation of ink. Pupils finally complete the "Purifying a Solid" clue task to revisit key terms. There is also an extended writing homework available.

This is a Jurassic Park themed lesson aimed at KS3 pupils. Pupils begin by thinking about the types of energy that enter and leave an object, they complete a worksheet for this. Pupils then are reminded about kinetic and potential energy, with examples. Leading on from this, pupils then complete a description of energy transfer on a rollercoaster, and describe the energy types and particular points. Useful and wasted energy is explained to the pupils, with a simplified diagram. Pupils then create similar diagrams for different things seen at a theme park. Finally pupils are then given one Olympic scenario each and have to draw an energy transfer diagram as an exit ticket. There is a homework where pupils use the Jurassic World website to create energy transfer diagrams of activities in different sections. There is also an online homework used as an extension of the rollercoaster task (https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park-basics).

This is a KS3 lesson with a Jurassic Park theme. Pupils begin by brainstorming ways that heat is lost in a house. They then do a QR hunt to research different types of insulation in buildings, I put mine up around the school or room in the places you would find that particular type of insulation. Pupils then write a letter to John Hammond describing how he could reduce heat loss in his park. Finally pupils attempt a QWC question using a writing frame.

This is for a low ability KS3 group, with a Ghostbusters theme. Pupils begin by using images to determine the title of the lesson. They then listen to sounds and try to describe them (link in notes section of ppt). Pupils then do a circus activity where there are a number of ways to make sound and try to decide the common factor. Pupils then line up facing forwards and teacher demonstrates how sound travels. Finally pupils try to answer the question "If a tree falls in a forest with no one around to hear it fall, does it make a sound?"

This is a Jurassic park themed lesson aimed at KS3. Pupils begin by identifying energy types and wasted or useful for given objects. Pupils then go onto the learn about the law of conservation and how to draw Sankey diagrams, they also assess a poorly drawn one. Pupils draw a few Sankey diagrams. Pupils then calculate efficiency. Million Pound Drop is then played by the pupils. This is from natashafox85 where you can get it for free (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/energy-efficiency-million-pound-drop-6142890) Finally pupils do a QWC question on the efficiency of light bulbs. This is from my QWC resources which can be found here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/qwc-writing-frame-with-picture-prompt-comparing-lightbulbs-11178129

This is a lesson with a Disney Frozen theme. The lesson is an introduction to the three states of matter. The lesson begins with pupils labeling what they think are solids, liquids and gases on a Frozen scene. They then listen to a song and are asked some questions based on it (the hyperlink for the song is in Elsa's speech bubble). Pupils then use a table to sort some objects, statements and diagrams into solids, liquids and gases. Pupils then do a series of experiments on custard (you want to make this with the consistency to be a non-Newtonian fluid). Finally, pupils write a conclusion about whether custard is a solid, liquid or gas based on their observations and what they have learned.

This is a Frozen themed lesson. It is for a low ability KS3 class. Pupils listen to Olaf's song from the film and you start a discussion on what Cristoff meant at the end of the song. As the song is on pupils can complete a match exercise. You then discuss the heating up on matter and what happens to Olaf. They can then complete the diagram. Pupils then watch the video and pupils complete the cooling down part of the diagram. There is a demo using a cloth and Malteasers to show how changes in energy changes they way the particles move. Pupils then complete a Olaf poster explaining what they have learned with diagrams. The exit ticket is then examples of each phase change.

This is a lesson for a low ability KS3 class, with the theme of Disney's Frozen. Pupils begin with brainstorming how Elza and Anna can smell the hot chocolate. Diffusion is then explained to the pupils. Pupils then do an experiment to see how the temperature affects the rate of diffusion. Completing a sheet as they do so. Finally pupils put diagrams in order to show how diffusion happens in particles.

This is for a low ability KS3 class, with a Star Wars theme. The pupils begin by discussing how they would show movement on a picture. They then try drawing some arrows on some scenarios. This is then extended by pupils calculating resultant forces of each scenario. Pupils then do the Forces Dance Mat, the Star Wars music for this is in the notes section of the dancing Darth Vadar. Finally, pupils tweet the Stormtroopers on how force diagrams work

This writing frame is used to help pupils practice with their extended writing questions in Science. It uses smaller steps and leading questions for pupils to be able to answer the large question that they would see in the exam. The frame include keywords that the pupils should use in their answer, a success criteria (directly from the mark scheme) and a picture in the center, either from the question itself or as a visual prompt. This is really useful for all pupils and ticks that literacy box!
