A lesson ready to go designed as the first lesson of the topic. Workstation circus to discover the properties of s,l,g. Followed by a short worksheet directly related. For those using SOLO taxonomy the levels and homework are clearly identified. Homework labels just need to be printed and students can select the level they wish to do. Multistructural - Lower ability Relational - standard Extended abstract - higher

Use the presentation and the lesson plan as an overview. 3 different worksheets (best printed as booklets) for different groups (struggling scientists are the lower ability groups). \nLesson starts off with the most fabulous colour changing catalytic reaction showing that catalysts do not change or get used up in the reaction. \nI found it best to print these in small booklet form.

AQA How Science Works HSW Terminology Highr Tarsia

Puzzle I created to help students get to grips with the HSW terminology. Tarsia software can be downloaded free of charge from Hermitech Laboratories. I would suggest that the attached glossary be given to lower ability to students. This activity should take about 20 minutes. The print maybe a bit small on one or two of the triangles so you may want to enlarge to to A3.

Attached is a presentation and worksheet for students to complete. Activity 1 requires AQA Applied Science books but is not entirely necessary. You will require a class set of 2p pieces and some pipettes if you wish to carry out the investigation.
