This Key Stage 3/4 resource is part of the JACOSA scheme. This story based learning project provides students with a compelling learning experience that is designed to put learning into context. The posters are often used at the beginning of lessons to excite learning. Teachers can plan lessons around the story. In this project, students solve scientific puzzles to open doors and chests that will eventually lead to some buried treasure. This unit of work is usually used in upper KS3 The project includes learning on resultant/net forces, density, mass and weight, moments, pressure and speed.

This Key Stage 3/4 resource is part of the JACOSA scheme. It is used to teach pupils the science concepts of elements, compounds and mixtures. This story based learning project provides students with a compelling learning experience that is designed to put learning into context. The context posters, which are included in the PP, are often used at the beginning of lessons to excite learning. Teachers can plan lessons around the story. In this project, pupils need to escape from Puzzle Island by solving puzzles and thinking scientifically. Hidden on the island are different objects. Pupils can click on each object to find out what element it’s made from and what its chemical symbol is. In this lesson of the project, pupils have to complete the missing parts of a periodic table. This is a 12 lesson unit, but additional lesson can be added if the teacher chooses to. Use the notes and professor Element to help you navigate your way around the island.

The Forensics Project JACOSA scheme

10 Resources
This is a unit of work that is designed to introduce pupils to a science laboratory for the first time. It covers work on lab safety, chemical reactions, acids and alkalis and the presentation and analysis of data. This bundle contains all of the resources required for all seven lessons of the Forensics Project. The Forensics Project is part of the JACOSA scheme. This story based learning project provides students with a compelling learning experience that is designed to put learning into context. The posters are often used at the beginning of lessons to excite learning. Teachers can plan lessons around the story. In this project, Charles Hobbles has been found dead in his laboratory and a young team of investigators are trying to find out what happened to him. In the first part of the project, the team of investigators are trained on how to use the contents of their kit bag. During the second part of the project, pupils investigate some spillt water and a mystery white powder that were discovered at the crime scene. In the final part of the project, the investigators use data to find out if the truth serum, which Charles Hobbles had invented, actually worked or not.
