This is to go with my KE lesson and there is a heavy focus on the maths and the workings out of GPE. Starter slides 2 and 3. Jigsaw or (settler) do it now task. The settler task is used as a plenary to be adjusted at the end of the lesson. aims and intro. introducing the information - links to videos to stimulate discussion if needed. Modelling how to work out GPE. Whiteboard activity where students get to try - next slide with answers. Questions get harder as they go on. see white boards assess individuals as well as group and feedback areas to improve. True or false - score will dictate worksheet starting points. Differentiation for the individual. Answer to the worksheets - students correct in green. Plenary - go back over the starting task and improve. This allows you to measure progress and help students as individuals with any possible feedback. My students found this useful and gave them more focus and confidence when looking at the calculations.

This lesson is on Density. It its aimed at KS4 students but can be used for high able KS3 students. It has worksheets and assessment opportunities at the start, middles and during the lesson. The worksheets have model answers. It is has many metacogntive parts to this lesson.

This is a one page checklist that can be glued in student books and also placed on websites like show my homework. It is designed to be simple for students and parents wanting to help students. Higher tier and required practical content is indicated on the page.

Quick Generic Science HWK activities for all abilities. All you need to do is add the information needed for the task. This could be an image, bunch of words, links to videos, a couple of questions. This PPT has 6 different home work activities that can be quickly edited, uploaded or printed off. These have been designed with the busy teacher in mind but not sacrificing the quality of the home work for the students. Each task is differentiated by outcome and all the students need to do is follow the task, number by number. They are easy and quick to mark as well. Highlight the the task (WWW) that they did well in one colour and highlight the task (EBI) that they did not do well. I will always add something specific for the student to focus on. I have trialled these in my class room and the students have enjoyed them. Always encourage them to spend time thinking and research before answering. Plus, because the task are quite short when the students get going, its easy to only accept quality work.

These are support cards that will help students with the: key terms in investigation skills. how to write a method. How top draw a graph and what type of graph How to describe results from line graphs These cards will have sentences starters as well as how to calculate the gradient of graphs.

This is a plenary randomiser that is based on a wheel. You can spin it when you want, stop it when you want, re-spin it if necessary. The wheel has eight different plenary types. My students love it. Ability of the wheel activities ranges from low to high abilit There is a second version which will allow you peer assess students ideas.

These home works are designed to be quick to organise and easy to mark, without sacrificing the quality of the home work for the students. All you need to do is add the information required for the home work activity. The instructions are differentiated by outcome and they too can be modified depending on the task. These are quick to edit, upload and print out. My students love these. Marking them is quick. Highlight in one colour the task which is a WWW and in another colour an EBI. I always try and give a sentence or two that is specific to the student. This makes it easier to hand the home work back quickly and for the students to respond to their feedback.

Attached are some quick to place in lessons, fun literacy style challenges intended for start or plenary use. The ppt contains a template for: word wheel, word wheel to encourage students to use words in sentences, find the keywords in two different formats and finally a taboo template.

Designed for A-level student. Also compares animals, to bacteria and plants.

This is a lesson with differentiated resources. This is designed for those departments who may not have enough equipment or need to have lessons purely focused on calculations. This is aimed at all abilities. The lesson does have a metacognitive edge. starter students will read the cartoon strip. 3 mins. Teacher will spend a good amount of time using targeted questioning stemming from the differentiated questions. Write key words on board Introduce lessons. Write down the writing in purple in books. Model calculation. Students then check understanding with whiteboard examples. You assess and give feedback. Students make mental not of score. Score then give the students an idea of what point to start on differentiated sheets. Students have 5 mins to work out in pairs how what is being asked and then have an approach. Students complete the questions. students go through answers.

This lesson can be used from mid to HA year 7/8/9 and also low to mid ability KS4. It contains worksheets and also capacity for assessment and whole group/individual progress tracking during the lesson. It also has the model answers within the ppt as well.

This is a resource that covers all of P1 and P2 Trilogy. Each slide covers the whole of one topic and has 12 sections with revision tasks. Topics include: Energy, Particle model of matter, Electricity, Atomic structure (radiation), forces, forces and motion, waves and electromagnetism. Each slide and topic is differentiated and is broken down into bite size but significant tasks. Green tasks low able; orange mid; more challenging. Each topic includes activities on required practicals, equations and general subject knowledge. One slide is designed for one hourly lesson. The task type is also varied to make the resources more interesting. The students can choose the task they do and this can also be made to be competitive. The last slide has a grid (that gets frozen on the IWB), which students with small post it notes (names on) place it in the star score box that they have gained as they have been completing tasks. This also allows for visual assessment (individual and group). The score is gained by the number of stars they have achieved from the sheet. These are designed to allow the student to develop subject knowledge first and foremost, which can then be used to answer exam style questions. They will need there exercise books and possibly text books to support them. I have tried this with my students and they all love the format and has proved effective when helping them to revise. The competitive element (which can be used or not) has also been enjoyed and has made revision more enjoyable. Year 11’s really like this. Biology to come soon!

This is a resource that covers all of B1 and B2 Trilogy. Each slide covers the whole of one topic and has 11 sections with revision tasks. Topics include: Cells Biology and Transport, Organisation a (tissues and organs), Organisation b (enzymes and digestion),Organisation c(health and disease: lifestyle effects and non communicable),Infection and Response, Bioenergetics (photosynthesis, respiration and anaerobic respiration), Homeostasis, Inheritance and genetic Material a, Inheritance and genetic material b (evolution and classification), and ecology. Each slide and topic is differentiated and is broken down into bite size but significant tasks. Green tasks low able; orange mid; more challenging.

A set of twelve cards with things not to do in the lab. A bit of fun and good discussion point for what to do and what not to do in the Sci lab. It really gets the students thinking and gets them motivated. Taboo. At the top of the card is the thing that must not be done in the lab. The student has to describe to another student what that thing is, whilst not using the words on the card. As a bit of a challenge - students should not be allowed to make actions. Enjoy!!

This lesson is aimed at GCSE students graded 2 to 7. It is has a focus on collaboration/discussion with practical work. The practical is based on the card, glass and penny trick. Objectives. I can define newtons first law and calculate resultant force. I can describe newton’s first law of motion in objects and link ideas of resultant force. I can explain how inertia law applies to non familiar contexts and answer exam style questions on this. Quick quiz starter Definition and task encouraging students to think about it. Practical and paired/group task. Differentiated sheets on the PPT to print out. Model answers for task. Assessment. True or False with answers. Assessment will then dictate the questions students complete consequently differentiated. Questions with model answers. Plenary.

The resource is based around a differentiated card sort: 1. circuit diagram 2. label 3. what it does 4. how it works. Card sort can be used for students in KS3 to higher KS4. The card sort is focused on the following components: switch, lamp, cell, battery, voltmeter, ammeter, fuse, fixed resistor, series circuit, parallel circuit, thermistor, variable resistor, LDR, LED, Motor and Diode. In that order. This can be used for Science as well as electronics. The card sort card is designed to so when printed the KS4 or components not needed for younger students can be easily left off. To support the card sort, attached is an information hunt research pack. All include colourful images and links to real life. So with students who need extra support they can find the information located around the room and make changes to the card sort. A easier to read version has been included to for students who may struggle to place information in categories. Instruction slide included.

This lesson is aimed at GCSE grades 2 onwards with some challenging application resources for the Higher ability (grades 7 - 9). This lesson is mainly aimed at students grades 2 -7. This can also be used for low ability A/AS level groups who need to develop their understanding of the importance of Active Transport in Biological organisms. The lesson comes with frequent assessment opportunities, clear opportunities for modeling by the teacher, differentiated tasks and worksheets at all points in the lesson. The lesson also comes with model answers when reinforcing and extending student understanding. All slides have instructions attached for student and teacher. The lesson comes with starter and plenary as well. Objectives: I can able to define diffusion, osmosis and active transport and simply describe how active transport works. I can accurately describe how active transport works and suggest some examples of where it occurs. I can explain why active transport is important and why it is useful in different scenarios.

These resources sheets (A5) are designed to cover the objectives of a lesson. They are designed to make students focus on specific reliable supported resources that will help them develop there understanding whilst they are preparing for future tasks. They are aimed specifically at all KS3 students but can very much be used for low to middle ability kS4 students. They can be used to prepare students prior to a lesson which can then allow you to go deeper into a subject. They help support students if they are completing presentations, good home based distance learning resources. Each resource has links to written and youtube sources. Each resource has differentiated objectives (by outcome), each resource has suggestions on how they could be used to present, mentor and deliver the content they have learned. These resources are covered: current and charge; endo and exothermic reactions; exam question technique; forces; photosynthesis; interdependence; graph skills; reactivity series and displacement; respiration; voltage and resistance. The ppt slides will need to be scaled to fit.

This lesson is targeted at GCSE students grades 4 - 9. It is a whole lesson (i hour approx) with a full set of resources. It is a fast paced lesson with many opportunities to correct work. It is focused on the AQA specification but will work with most specifications. Objectives: I can show where the main sections of the brain are. I can describe what the main sections of the brain do and describe some ways scientists may use to find out about the brain. I can explain and discuss how scientists use different methods to work out the structure and function of the brain. starter - jigsaw puzzle with challenge task afterwards. On ppt. Video links with information to deliver. Quick worksheet looking at parts of Brain and what they do, with model answers Research on Scientific Methods research the Brain. Research template differentiated with model answers to follow. Research info also provided. Questions to consolidate, differentiated by outcome. With model answers afterwards. Plenary. My students loved this.

This is a full lesson aimed at GCSE grades 4 - 9 and focus. Its objectives are: I can simply describe how your body monitors its temperature I can describe in detail linking ideas to a negative feedback loop how core temperature is maintained. I can explain the negative feedback loop and adaptations the body has to maintain core temperature. This lesson has starter/plenary. Information delivery (including an information hunt with resources), frequent assessment opportunities, worksheets (differentiated by outcome and targeted), model answers. Information for the hunt is at the end of the PPT and the model answers are placed directly after the WS in green to encourage green penning. This would also be a good lesson for a weaker year 12 or a level group.
