This lesson is part of a series I have put together for my students to learn about Human Reproduction remotely. This lesson covers changes that happen in the emotions during puberty. I have videoed myself talking through the slideshow I would usually use for this lesson in school. This resource includes everything you need to teach this lesson. Included: 1 video of me explaining concepts the slideshow I was talking through Agony Aunt Puberty questions worksheet Plenary - check your understanding worksheet I also created a Padlet for them to add questions to totally anonymously - bit of a virtual problem box - where I then answered their questions or worries about puberty. (Also allows you flexibility of deleting comments that are inappropriate). I will adding the following lessons in this topic as I teach them. Any feedback on ways to improve would be much appreciated.

This lesson is part of a series I have put together for my students to learn about Human Reproduction remotely. This lesson covers changes that happen in the body during puberty - will be covering emotional changes in the next lesson. I have videoed myself talking through the slideshow I would usually use for this lesson in school. The video is broken into chunks so that they can complete questions at various points on a worksheet to act as an assessments of their learning. This resource includes everything you need to teach this lesson. Included: 2 videos of me explaining concepts worksheet I will adding the following lessons in this topic as I teach them.

This is a lesson I put together for my students to learn about Human Reproduction remotely. Covers an intoduction to Human Reproduction and then names and functions of all parts of the male and female reproductive systems. I have videoed myself talking through the slideshow I would usually use for this lesson in school. The video is broken into chunks so that they can complete two kahoot quizes as quick assessments as we go through the male and female reproductive systems. Worksheet used as a plenary. This resource includes everything you need to cover this topic at KS3. Included: 3 videos of me explaining concepts 2 kahoot quiz links plenary worksheet I will adding following lessons as I teach them. Any feedback on ways to improve would be much appreciated.

This is a lesson I put together for my students to learn about Convection remotely. I have recorded myself talking through the powerpoint I would usually use for this lesson in school. The video is broken into chunks so that they can complete various activities as we go through the lesson. Differentiated worksheets that go along with this lesson included - (Squid = High, Crab/Starfish = Mid/Low). Instructions shared with the students were: Watch Convection Video 1 for an intro to today’s lesson and a brief recap of last lesson Complete starter question - there is a choice of worksheets - one for Squids and another for Crabs/Starfish - choose the best for you! Watch Convection video 2 Watch the youtube demo of a Convection current (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEDUtS0IMws&t=2s) Watch Convection video 3 Complete Radiator task on worksheet Watch Convection video 4 Complete question on worksheet about why convection can’t happen in solids and then check your understanding by explaining how convection takes place in a kettle If you want you can watch an explanation of why convection doesn’t happen in solids in Convection video 5 Want to try convection at home - check out the Colourful Convection Currents youtube link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxyoeShbpKM) I’ve added the Google Slide presentation at the bottom if you want to look through that at any point. My students really enjoyed this lesson and said that it almost felt like a ‘normal’ lesson at school! Hope you find it useful and that it saves you time at this stressful time! I am doing a whole unit on heat transfer at the moment so keep checking back for further lessons if you enjoy this format.

This is a lesson I put together for my students to learn about Conduction remotely. I have recorded myself talking through the powerpoint I would usually use for this lesson in school. The video is broken into chunks so that they can complete various activities as we go through the lesson - including a simple practical they can carry out at home. Worksheet that goes along with this lesson included. Instructions shared with the students were: Watch Conduction Video 1 & 2 Carry out experiment explained in video - write down your results down on a scrap of paper as you will need them later Watch Conduction Video 3 Complete relevant sections on the Conduction worksheet - write as detailed answers as you can for each question Watch Conduction Video 4 Complete the rest of worksheet - write as detailed answers as you can for each question Obviously this was recorded with my own students in mind so there are references in video to meeting on Google Meet for support. So you will need to ignore these references. This was my first attempt at doing a videoed lesson so a little rough round the edges (much improved Convection lesson available) but still should save you a lot of time!

This lesson is taught in a series of lessons on different chemical reactions, following on from a lesson that went through why some metals corrode, what is needed for corrosion/rusting to occur and how to prevent corrosion. This was taught to a top set Yr 8 set who are set into two animal groups (squid = top, crab = bottom). Lesson is differentiated for the two groups to allow individual work for the top group and paired work for the bottom half - worksheet attached to enable bottom group to achieve LO. We spend one lesson planning this and then set up the expt during next lesson and leave it to run over half term to maximize time for rusting. In my school I use this lesson to assess one strand of scientific investigative skills that count towards our School's Baccalaureate.

Powerpoint that leads you through the importance of gene banks. Links to the Seed Bank set up by the Norwegian Government up in Arctic circle - complete with question sheet for students to fill in as they listen. Also video link to how Kew Gardens are using gene banks to protect plant biodiversity

I run this challenge after teaching a unit on renewable and non renewable energy sources. The activity is taken from Practical Action's website. I've done this with two mixed ability classes and it works really well - everyone very involved and some great critical thinking going on while discussing designs etc.

This is a group of resources that contains all you need to run a World Science Day/Week in your school. Every year I put on a week devoted to Science at my Prep School. I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. For Yr 3/4 Competition I laminated the animal fact cards and hid them around the school so they had to search to find them. For the Seniors (Yr 5 - 8) I hid the fact cards (that I found on TES - thanks!) around the school for them to find.

I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. These are my resources from last year when I choose the theme of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) to get children involved in the consultation process and get their families to vote. I also ran a teacher competition this year - to learn the whole Periodic Table of Elements!

Powerpoint that goes through weathering - opportunities to get children to work out the three types with the use of a selection of photos - I got children to talk in pairs to come up with an explanation of how each set of photos could result in rocks being broken down - worked very well. Differentiated worksheets to sum up each process.

I teach this lesson after an introduction to animal/plant and specialised cells. I found that some classes always struggled with MRS GREN so I came up with a set of different activities to help them work out the 7 processes themselves. I laminated the instruction cards and placed them round lab with the various bits of equipment. Each student then was given one of the differentiated practical ws (SQUID = high, CRAB = mid, and STARFISH = low). The students then went round the room and completed each activity and writing the relevant word on their ws. We then went through answers & ppt in class to get a correct list of MRS GREN. Students then got into their ability groups and used MRS GREN to work out if various objects were living or not - group task sheet. This worked extremely well and I've found that students have a much better grasp and retention of this topic after this active lesson compared to me just talking.

Useful for end of KS3 exams - I print out the student version of the ppt with four slides per page - they then fill in the gaps as we go through ppt in class. They then can stick two sheets back to back on a piece of card and cut them out to make 4 double sided revision cards. My students love this way of revising.

My students always seen to struggle to write a good scientific conclusion so I collaborated with my colleagues in the English Dept to come up with a way to help them. We used the PEE paragraph as a starting point and produced these posters to help the students. I then used it with a practical we were doing at that time (which shaped tea bag makes the strongest tea) to demonstrate a good conclusion.

Ppt that covers deficiencies in our diets and also the consequences of eating too much of certain foods. Worksheet (from TES - thank you) that I have adapted and differentiated to account for large range of learners in my class

Ppt and resources used for first lesson in unit about heat transfer. Contains worksheet used with lower ability class and word search used as plenary

This is a ppt used to introduce drugs - students were then put into five groups and each given one of the drug information posters (adapted from a resource on TES - thank you!) to carry out marketplace activity. Worked very well with students supporting/teaching each other with very little need for input from teacher - ideal!!

Everything you need to revise Cells for end of KS3 exams - I stick the specialised cell sheets around room and allow students to extract necessary information to fill in on their sheets - assessment opportunities included on ppt

This lesson was taught at the end of a topic on rocks and weathering. The Rock cycle was briefly talked about then students were given task sheet and image on Slide 10 of ppt to use in order to construct a comic strip of the life of Robbie the Rock - the students really got into this and produced some very funny cartons - all showed really good comprehension of cycle at the end with hardly any teacher input! Ideal!!
