How To Do Variables and Graphs - Year 8

(0)
An entire structured and scaffolded lesson to support Year 8 students with variables and how they translate to graph drawing It is staged to take the students through rules for drawing graphs, differentiating between line graphs and Bar graphs, how to draw axes, and then develops to adding data and creating a completed graph This lesson specifically targets LINE GRAPHS although it doe talk about when a graph would be a line graph instead of a bar graph. It could easily be adapted to make it Bar Graph targeted. It is written in a dyslexia friendly font, and has easy visual background to ensure clarity for many SEND students.

Life Cycle of a Star - Life to Death Star Formation

(0)
This powerpoint resource is a full 1 hour lesson on star formation, from start to finish, including Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, Nebulae, white dwarves and Black holes, Red Giants and Main sequence stars. Explains in full the movement of a star from its formation through to its final incarnation as a white dwarf or Black hole. This is a very “talky” lesson, so the addition of a few exercises - dependant upon your student audience, could support it

This lesson gives an interesting and student led journey on sound waves and how they move through liquids and solids. This could be expanded to included gasses also, but focusses on the particle model for waves. Aimed at Year 8, this could also be used for other KS3 classes and even Foundation KS4 Used several times with success, including an opportunity for marking a piece of work in class, either by peer review or by teacher
