KS3 Activate Working Scientifically Complete Topic Bundle

KS3 Activate Working Scientifically complete topic bundle: 8 editable Year 7 lessons plus the student workbook. Retrieval, formative assessment and answers built in.

About this bundle

Everything for the Year 7 Working Scientifically unit in one download: Safety in the Lab, Scientific Questions, Planning Investigations, Bunsen Burner Practical, Recording Data, Analysing Data, Evaluating Data and Scientific Investigations, plus the 70-page student workbook that goes with the ‘Turn to Page…’ slides.

Built into every lesson

• Retrieval starter: five questions check the prior knowledge pupils need for the lesson (answers in the notes)
• A concrete, surprising hook to get pupils talking
• Learning objectives pupils can act on, each with a ‘Show it’ task
• Formative assessment throughout: checks, hinge question, plenary and exit ticket
• Common misconceptions targeted: a hidden teacher slide and hinge questions from documented KS3 misconceptions
• Command words always come with a sentence starter or writing frame
• Four Tier 3 key words, with pronunciation and warnings about everyday meanings
• Booklet task slides, each followed by an expected-answers slide, so all the answers are in these PowerPoints
• Interactive tools made specifically for these lessons: selected lessons link from the slides to an ‘Explore’ tool and a ‘Check it’ tool that build and check understanding. They match each lesson’s content and level, not generic web activities
• Written for KS3 reading levels: one short idea per bullet
• Fully editable PowerPoints, plus the printable student workbook in this bundle
