A very handy way getting students used to the terminology of the topic. Keywords and definitions provided. If correctly placed in the exercise book students can have access to it without flipping backwards through their books to find it. This is a double sided bookmark to be glued in on any page on the far left hand side of the left hand page - instructions for the best way of using these are on page 3 of the document.

Easy to read crossword puzzle to either introduce or reinforce thermal transfer and energy transfers. I will be using them as a starter with my Year 10s for AQA Oxbox P1.12 lesson but they are very generic. They are also suitable for KS3 higher sets. If you have the old Physics4you books students can use the cartoons and text on page 8. A differentiated crossword with some of the keywords is also provided to allow low ability students to access them. I would suggest printing side by side in A5 size.

Students cut out the shapes and then match the dates to the event. Good research activity or can be used alongside Exploring Science 7 book.

Puzzle I created to help students get to grips with the HSW terminology. Tarsia software can be downloaded free of charge from Hermitech Laboratories. I would suggest that the attached glossary be given to lower ability to students. This activity should take about 20 minutes. The print maybe a bit small on one or two of the triangles so you may want to enlarge to to A3.

Knowledge organiser summarising the key points of the year 7 cells topic.

This encourages deeper thinking and can be used with all ability levels. Students cut out the hexagons and put two or three together that they can match eg: REFRACTED and SPEED can be placed together. Students will then need to write how they are linked together ie: When light enters a medium its speed is changed and it is refracted. Encourage students to make as many links as they can. Higher tier students should then identify the concepts that the clusters make. If you need any help with this contact me at @heelismichelle

Apologies, this is a crude jigsaw but it works very well as an activity with SEN or low ability students. It is a 2 page jigsaw puzzle based upon a diagram of the Earth and atmosphere. Very easy to put together, but forces students to interact with the diagram. To extend you could ask students to write a short paragraph to explain.

Although based on the Go Science Scheme it is pretty generic and can easily be modified.

This lesson is based on the UPD8 activity surrounding the crash of Richard Hammond's dragster. Ready to go just access the crash video from youtube via the link. Students of all abilities find it very engaging.

A complete set of level descriptors from Level 3 up to and including Level 8. Useful for setting objectives and AfL. Great to use with SOLO taxonomy work stations or individual work activities.

Students decide which SOLO level they are at and choose a partner of similar level. They then complete the activity set for that level and continue with the tasks of a higher level. Set up 2 workstations, one with the equipment for practical - trundle wheel, tape and stopclock, and another with the hexagons activity.

Use as settlers/starters and students can track their progress during the lesson. Please leave a comment if you find the resource helpful and I will upload more.

Designed as a tool to help teachers with marking. When coming across a student in need of some help with best fit lines simply stick one of these small 'how to' exemplars. 6 per A4 sheet.

Although written for Go Science they are pretty generic and easily modified.

Quick and easy, ready-to-go lesson. Has students focusing on skills and maths behind understanding speed. L3 – I can say what speed is L4 – I can also say what, thinking distance, braking distance and stopping distance L5 – I can measure, distance, time and calculate an average speed. L6 - I can also spot any anomalous results and know how to deal with them.

Suitable for foundation /SEN/ EAL students. READING AGE FOR ALL TEXT (using Flesch-Kincade): 11 YEARS + This is best used with this text (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/foundation-text-on-dna-and-the-genome-11801021) that summarises and simplifies the core ideas, as well as a worksheet that can besimply folded into an interactive resource (video demonstrates how). Core ideas covered - what is DNA? - What are genes? - What are chromosomes? - What is a genome? -Why does understanding the genome matter?

Who is it for? This is an assessment based upon the new national curriculum on acids and alkalis suitable for KS3 but could also be used at KS4 for a pre-topic assessment. What is included? This resource is a carefully designed, 30 question multiple choice quiz, that assesses depth of knowledge. There are two ways to use the resource. Firstly, it can be manually marked within a couple of minutes, by students. Secondly, it can be marked using the free Quick Key App for android and IOS. Data is collected within seconds using the teacher's mobile phone or tablet, and results visible immediately as well as consolidated in an Excel Spreadsheet. The data in this form is exceptionally useful, teachers are able to assess progress in a matter of minutes, and address misconceptions immediately. I've been using this app for a very long time and can't recommend it highly enough. Feedback tasks can be generated in either little report forms or as a whole class spread sheet that can be RAG rated by outcome. See the video tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0XcUHc09Qc Info on the app can be found here: https://get.quickkeyapp.com/teachers/ Feedback Tasks related to this assessment will be available by 14 November and can be found at my shop. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/heelis

Use as a starter/through the door activity. Helps students to track progress during the lesson. Please let me know if these are useful and I will upload more.

This was originally written as a cover lesson but it works equally well as a literacy activity. YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO OXBOX CHEMISTRY TEXT BOOKS.
