New KS3 Scheme of Work to support the new 1-9 GCSE. Topic on Light fully differentiated for all year 8 pupils. 7 lessons included, all fully resourced, with notes to explain activities. Lessons included are: 1. Introduction to light 2. Reflectors and absorbers 3. Reflection 4. How eyes work 5. Refraction 6. Colours of the rainbow 7. Colour filters EXTRA - Assessment Homework task

The Easter bunny has been murdered by another bunny! Possibly a jealous or overworked one. There are 5 clues (a couple with science themes) for the teams to figure out to lead them to the final clue. When they have completed the puzzle, they can begin crossing suspects off the list to find the killer! There really is minimal effort required from the teacher. Set it up, introduce the murder and let them compete. Just tick the team’s box when they have finished each clue and advance the slide to give the answer when the time runs out. Includes: PowerPoint presentation leading pupils through the Case brief and clues. Also includes answers. Anagram code for clue 1 Crossword sheet and answers for clue 2. Wordsearch for clue 4 Speed calculation sheet for clue 5. CSI case brief Front cover for the murder file List of suspects and information NB: Clue 3 is found in the presentation so you can edit the names if you like! It is a classification key.

Full scheme of work for the New 2016 Edexcel Transition topic for KS3/KS4. Pupils learn to measure and calculate speed, use and rearrange the S=d/t equation and recall common scalar and vector quantities. There is a game with snail racing! Includes differentiated worksheets with different themes (superhero themes)! Also includes: Acceleration Distance/time graphs Velocity Velocity/Time graphs

Includes 4 lessons for the New Edexcel Physics transition module for KS3 into KS4. It includes 4 differentiated lessons that link into each other. This topic is not currently in this specification at any level. Top and Bottom sets will be challenged by this. Includes: Work done Extension of a spring Extension of an elastic band Work done by a spring Graph skills

Second topic of the new Edexcel physics transition module for KS3/GCSE. This topic covers the Kinetic theory model, including density of solids, liquids and gases. There is also a lesson on Absolute zero, which is currently covered in the P3 Extension unit. This powerpoint could be used for triple award groups. All worksheets come with answers and are fully differentiated.

Up to 2 hours of christmas related activities with a fun challenge to appeal to all age groups and abilities. The first set of activities are fully differentiated, where pupils can chose their challenge. If they complete a lower challenge, they get less points, but there is a first finisher bonus. The choice is theirs. There is also a science reindeer classification key activity. The second set of activities are a little more crafty with mathematics and symmetry coming in to one of the activities. There are also different challenges for different amounts of points. Pupils could work individually or alone.

THIS CAN BE DONE INDIVIDUALLY, NO need for teams, just extra time! ALSO VIEW MY OTHER KS4 CHRISTMAS RESOURCE AT https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-christmas-crime-scene-christmas-chemistry-activity-for-ks3-and-ks4-new-for-2017-11792556 There has been a murder at Santa’s workshop and one of the Elves did it! But which one? Get your students to solve 5 separate science related clues to piece together information about the murderous elf. Activities include classification keys for the reindeer, speed of the sleigh and the science behind our favourite christmas words! If you have a TA, maybe they can play dead santa! Read through the case brief with the class, and give them a time limit. The, suspect list and final clue are included alongside the PowerPoint activity but don’t give these out until right at the end. All of the answers are also included in this pack. There really is minimal effort required from the teacher. Set it up, introduce the murder and let them compete. Just tick the team’s box when they have finished each clue and advance the slide to give the answer when the time runs out. All worksheets that were made using a generator are credited on the worksheet itself. All content is original.

This topic covers the new Edexcel GCSE transition content for KS3 into KS4. This scheme challenges the misconceptions pupils start with/have been taught in the that past and builds upon the fundamental ideas. Plenty of new models and diagrams to help get the ideas across. Many optional practical ideas, including how to get fruit batteries into your lessons, and a fantastic website link. Very interactive slides, ideal for use with a smart board. I don't have one though and it works just fine! These lessons have been used in observations and coaching, and have received outstanding comments. Covers: - Troubleshooting circuits - Curren tand Voltage - Measuring current and voltage - Series circuits and Parallel circuits - Resistance - Potential difference - Ohms law.

The Solar System and Beyond. This full topic is a merge between the old 7L (Solar System and Beyond) and 9J (Satellites and Space) into the 2-year KS3 new scheme of work. The topic covers 7 one-hour lessons and an assessment lesson. As this is part of the new KS3 scheme of work there are NO LEVELS required or given. The topic covers: - Days and nights - Seasons and years - Phases of the moon - Solar and lunar eclipses - The planets - Comets and asteroids. - Gravity and orbits - Satellites (natural and artificial) - Space exploration (landers, rovers, orbiters etc.) All learning objectives are on the PowerPoints and all activities that are mentioned are fully resourced and ready to go! Some lesson slides have animations on them that the pupils will LOVE and will help them to remember the key information. There are running themes throughout the topic (the NASA boss the pupils work for) to engage pupils with the activities and for them to take pride in their learning. Some of the files are large because they are so complete and well resourced so please be patient. It’s worth it! Files included: - 6 PowerPoints (L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5, L6, L7) - Card sort for lesson 1 - Moon phases worksheet for lesson 3 - Moon homework for lesson 3 - Planet fact cards and table for lessons 4 and 5 - An Excel spreadsheet containing the data for the temperatures of the planets - Exploration methods fact sheet for lesson 7 - Assessment on the topic with mark scheme PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE A REVIEW! They can be improved for re-upload!

Writing frame to help pupils in KS3 or bottom set GCSE groups get to grips with how to write parts of an investigation. Pink sections are the higher tier sections. Pupils can work up to these.

Science controlled assessment flowchart - split into sections. Each section that can be marked is in a separate box. Parts A, B and C are different colours. Will help pupils to access more marks when it is time for the real thing! EDIT: "Dependent variable(s)" should have been "Control variable(s)". Now changed.

Revision PowerPoint for use with a mixed ability year 11 class. Covers all objectives from the Edexcel Additional Physics topic 5 on Radioactivity. All activities mentioned on the PowerPoint are on the activity document, where pupils can work at it after you have covered/revised the content. There is also exam practice on the document.
