An excel spreadsheet which automatically updates the colour of the columns depending if the homework has been completed, missed or is handed in late. It also adds up the total number of late or missing homework.

A murder mystery about why Barry the Bush died. This lesson uses clues put around the room to help students deduce why the plant died. A sheet is included for them to fill in, along with an extension sheet. SPOILER: Barry was murdered due to lack of Nitrogen in the soil, due to his enemy Simon the Sunflower giving him fake soil!

Looking at Animal Cells Objective: To identify the parts of an animal cell and describe their functions Looking at Plant Cells Objective: To understand the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells Newspaper articles about plant cells for students to gather information from, as well as posters to put up around the room to gather information from to label a diagram. Uses a chocolate factory as a model to describe how the different organelles in plants function. Extra scaffolding sheets for SEN/Low ability. Textbooks with plant/animal cell diagrams would help support this lesson.

Lesson objectives: To recall the three states of matter and the main physical properties of solids, liquids and gases Learning objectives: recall the three states of matter sort simple materials into solids, liquids and gases by observation of their physical properties. explain which properties are associated with each state of matter. justify your classification of a material based on its properties Included are a powerpoint and plenary worksheet.

Lesson objective: To recall the names and key properties of the subatomic particles Learning outcomes: recall the three main particles in an atom draw a simple diagram of an atom. explain that most of an atom is made up of space and most of the mass of the atom is in the centre describe the relative sizes and the charges on the particles in an atom. apply the model of the atom to explain phenomena.
