This lesson introduces pupils to signs and symbols, why we have them and specifically symbols that are found in the laboratory. Pupils are asked to look at every day symbols and their meanings and to discuss why we have symbols. They are then introduced to 9 hazard symbols and their meanings. This lesson comes with a blank hazard symbols mind map to complete during the lesson. They must then carryout research for homework and record it on this mind map (we print it onto A3 paper). In addition, there is a set of hazard flash cards for a recall and a doodle task. test can be printed and laminated for reuse. They are great for revision also!
This is FULLY ANIMATED introductory lesson teaching the pupils the different types of graphs that we use in science. By the end of this lesson pupils will have an understanding of the different types of graphs and would have practiced constructing a series of line graphs. Graph paper is included and one is differentiated for the lower ability including a brief mark scheme to guide them. For the more able a pie chart has been included for practice.
This resource pack contains: A PPT (23 slides) and handouts (3 sheets) .
Activities include:
Starter Task: Thinking Skills question
Explanations and example of a Bar chart, different examples of line graphs and a pie chart (all are non specific). Pupils will be asked to complete plotting activities based on non specific data provided to them as a means of practicing the construction of a variety of line graphs.
Plenary (Exit task) : this is our Interactive Emoji Selector resource which is alone worth £3!
In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .

This is an introductory practical lesson to demonstrate how pupils measure time and teaches them the importance of accuracy.
This resource pack contains: A PPT (14 slides) and handouts (2 sheets) .
Included in this resource is two of our timers complete with MUSIC.
Activities include:
Starter Task: Thinking Skills question
Activity on on recording time digitally. Pupils will find out when completing the challenges that they won’t be accurate. Therefore, they will want to repeat challenge reinforcing the need for repeat experiments to find averages.
Experiment on measuring different times and two practical challenges.
Plenary (Exit task) : Think, Pair Share- Please note…
This Exit Task/Plenary is designed to draw out the findings of the measuring time activities. These being that the children will learn that using a stop click to seconds and hundredths of seconds will give them a precise time. However, this is not 100% accurate due to human error (reaction times). You should discuss how to improve on accuracy ( use of repeats and find an average).

Periodic Table : Chemical Elements - Playing Cards Snap or Go Fish
This pack contains 118 playing cards that can be printed out onto card and used as a fun resource to use when teaching the periodic table and chemical elements. We recommend that you print out TWO sets and use them and pupils can use them to play snap with the deck.Alternatively, ‘go fish’ whereby all cards are put face down on the table and pupils have to try to match pairs. In both cases the person with the most sets wins.
It is entirely up to you how you prepare these cards, But we recommend that you print them out, in colour onto paper or card cut around the top and bottom card (on the top and bottom left). We then fold the middle section and glue the pieces together and laminate the card to ensure it’s durability. Alternatively, you can just use the front of the card for ease of use.
