KS3 Science Edexcel Yr8 Revision Spread and Answer Sheet - Physics: 8L Earth and Space. This A4 revision spread condenses the Edexcel topic 8L onto one A4 sheet which can be printed off and filled in to aid revision and help summarize the topic. A full answer sheet is provided which can be used to mark the filled in revision spread and can also be used as a revision poster.

In this lesson students will work towards the objective: use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. They will first learn about how our understanding of day and night has changed over time before understanding the science behind the suns ‘apparent’ movement across the sky. They will also learn how sundials work before explaining what they have learnt on the activity sheet. They will then learn about the seasons and the science behind the concentration of the sun’s energy on the Earth’s surface. They will be taught how this links to time zones and again will explain their understanding through the activity sheet. The engaging presentation- with links to online video clips and the activity sheets are all provided. A knowledge organiser for Earth & Space is also included. This lesson is intended for Year 5 students but can easily be modified for all KS2 and KS3 students. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Earth & Space.

This worksheet covers the following Ks3 topics (necessary for Checkpoint examination) on Earth in space: The origin of the Universe Collision, asteroids, mass extinctions Collisions and the Moon The life cycle of stars Galaxies

Why we have day time and night time on Earth, seasons and why the moon appears a different shape over the month.

Designed for KS2 learners this fully illustrated, ready-to-use lesson provides an interesting and engaging introduction to Earth and space. It covers national curriculum for science topics including the solar system, geocentric and heliocentric theories and how to tell the time using the Sun. Also featured are some of the astronauts who have travelled into space, the International Space Station and the current Mars missions. The lesson includes an engaging and informative PowerPoint consisting of over 35 slides. It starts with objectives, has a worksheet to complete as the lesson progresses and includes three activities which can be completed in class or given as homework. The PowerPoint includes several links to videos on YouTube to illustrate the lesson. Notes and answers to the worksheet and activities are included. This lesson has five sections: • Earth, Sun and Moon • The solar system • Is the Earth or the Sun at the centre of the solar system? • Telling the time using the Sun • People who have travelled into space Duration: Approximately one hour.

This is a ‘True or False’ revision lesson for Y5 science Earth and Space. It is differentiated by outcome so students can work through as many as they can. Students highlight true statements green. highlight false statements in pink. They then have to correct the false statements, explaining how they know they’re not true or correcting the information. My students found this incredibly useful coming to the end of their Earth and Space topic. They were allowed to work in small mixed ability groups and it addressed a lot of misconceptions. Before allowing the children to ‘correct’ false statements, I suggest talking through whether the statements are true or false. Some of them are deliberately very challenging and the students need to look carefully at the wording of the statement. A tricky problem solving lesson that all the children enjoy and are actively engaged in.

This is an Earth and Space y5 science topic revision lesson. It recaps all the most important pieces of information for the topic. Students in my class round this incredibly useful before sitting their end of topic assessment. I suggest printing it A3 and glueing into science books.

Earth From Space / Using Satellite Images in Geography A worksheet to support BBC documentary Earth Fro Space, episode 1. Used to help students learn about satellite images and how they are used around the world. Focuses on monitoring changing animal behaviour in different ecosystems and changing landscapes. Could be used as part of a lesson on satellite images or as a geography skills homework task. Find more worksheets to accompany a range of other geography documentaries in my shop.

A wonderful resource showing 28 aerial view images of the Earth, taken from satellites, aeroplanes and drones. Your students will find these photos fascinating! This is a great resource for helping your students to gain a different perspective and understanding of the Earth. This resource is a PDF file, that can either be printed or used as a presentation on a computer or smartboard.
