Seaspiracy Documentary Worksheet

Seaspiracy Documentary Worksheet

(5)
SimpleScience has designed a 2 page worksheet that can be used while students watch the ‘seaspiracy’ documentary that can be found on Netflix. Students will follow the shoal of fish on the worksheet to answer questions based on the statistics, opinions and facts given from the documentary. There is some content links to the separate specification of AQA Biology. Please be aware that some of the content of this documentary can be quit difficult to watch and you may watch to skip some bits thinking about the group you are teaching. Also be aware of the misinformation that some of this documentary may include. Ensure you highlight to your students that ‘fact-checking’ is important and not to take information at face value. Hope you enjoy this worksheet!

Physics Equation Skill - Out with FIFA, in with HENCH/HEINRCH

Physics Equation Skill - Out with FIFA, in with HENCH/HEINRCH

(0)
Throughout my teaching career, I’ve grappled with the challenge of helping students tackle physics equations comprehensively, ensuring they show all their working out. Despite trying various methods like FIFA, I found students often struggled to remember each component or missed crucial steps in their calculations. In response, I developed a new approach that has yielded remarkable success in my classroom. Named “HENCH” for lower-ability students and “HEINRCH” for higher-ability ones, this method breaks down each step required for marks in physics calculation questions, ensuring students don’t overlook important elements. Given the increasing emphasis on thoroughness in exams by boards like AQA, it’s crucial for students to demonstrate their working out at every stage. This method not only helps students achieve full credit but also ensures they develop a deeper understanding of the subject. It’s a simple yet effective tool that equips students with the skills they need to excel. It would be wonderful to see this method used consistently across many educational platforms to support our students understand how to approach difficult physics equations questions! The resource contains worked examples of how to use HENCH/HEINRCH and photos of actually exam questions using this method. Like and rate this resource to help it reach as many physics educators as possible! Thank you.
