I created this lesson for a science lesson observation for Year 5. It is well resourced and differentiated through the use of Bloom's taxonomy questions. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching this lesson and the progress the children made was very clear throughout the lesson. Be prepared to get wet and I recommend having kitchen towel on hand! Have fun!

This resource can be used as a template for students to write-up a practical investigation in science. It contains guidance around terms such as “independent variable” etc. Suited to middle - higher streamed classes. This is a fairly detailed write-up so would suit projects, though you can use the sections independently, depending on your focus. Part 1 - Planning an Investigation Part 2 - Results and Conclusion Part 3 - Evaluation The guide prompts students as to what they need to include in each section.

Booklet containing 16 practicals for Unit 3, Applied science (2016) The practicals fall into the following categories. Enzymes in action Diffusion Plants and their environment. Energy content of fuels Electrical circuits Each investigation includes; title, method, variables. Pupils are encouraged to use this to review learning. Space is provided underneath investigation for pupils to make notes. Further to this, their are YouTube video links for pupils that learn through watching the practical being carried out. The first practical “Impact of temperature on lipase” has complete notes as an example for students to use.

A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation. Steps include: - Forming a hypothesis - Research - Method - Variables - Independent, dependent and controls. - Risk Assessment - Conclusion - Graphs These can be printed on A1 sheets to make as a classroom display. They can also be printed as A3, laminated and then students can use post it notes to complete. This is designed to familiarise students with the how science works terminology and format for laying out a clear practical.

A series of 8 practical activities, put into the context of careers in Science. This is aimed at KS3 students, introducing some practical skills. Aims of the project: To learn about some careers in Science, and to try some out. To develop investigation skills as required in the KS4 core practical’s included at GCSE. Students get to experience being an Aerospace engineer by designing and testing paper planes, a Biochemist by testing urine samples, a Biomedical scientist by testing different anti bacterial soaps, a Chemical engineer by investigating recipes for bouncy balls, a Civil engineer by designing and testing bridges, a Forensic scientist by taking and analysing finger prints, a Mechanical engineer by making cotton reel motors, and a Pyrotechnic technician, by testing firework colours and making sparklers. Each includes a job profile page to be filled out using the national careers service website to provide context for the lesson. Also included is a handy technician guide. This is designed to be handed out as a student booklet, with each career taking around 2 single hour lessons to complete, aimed at KS3 students. Students develop their investigation skills, as well as learning about some different careers in Science.

A complete set of lesson plans for practical ‘working scientifically’ lessons in science for Y1 to Y5. Every year group has several practical science lessons linked to the curriculum. The lessons with cover working scientifically across the school and develop practical skills through the school. The lesson plans contain a clear set of instruction for the non-specialist in science primary teacher. The lessons have extension activities to extend the greater depth children.

Y.O.Y.O. lessons - Scientific investigations designed to develop problem solving skills and make independent learners of our spoon students! In this one they investigate how the mass of a ramp affects friction between it and another surface! Dragging wood blocks slowly in other words! Students must complete the set task without any help whatsoever from their teachers. They have only the worksheet to help them. They can only ask you a question if they use a joker card! (They have three of them - one specific question per Joker). Complete it without using jokers and win rewards! Character building for both staff and students and an excellent lesson to use for formal observations and OFSTED invasions. This is how real scientists are made. The resource comes with a set of joker cards, a worksheet for the lesson and a teacher guide with the YOYO rules as a PowerPoint. Enjoy!

These are a selection of practical investigations for KS3 Science, suitable for use with the Working Scientifically section of the 2014 syllabus. Included are guidance for each investigation, a scaffolded investigation sheet, a mark scheme and a student challenge sheet. The investigations are designed to be easily marked and leveled using criteria adapted from APP guidelines. I intended to add to these over time.

These tasks each focus on a different part of the additional science investigation (or the core science data analysis) and can be used as practices to get students used to the format. Each contains a mark scheme and some have parts that can be given as homework to train students in researching for these tasks!

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on the infrared radiation required practical for AQA GCSE Science and Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics required practical 10 / Combined Science required practical 21 and assumes you will be using a Leslie cube (or “Leslie’s cube”). As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. Learning objectives: Investigate how the amount of infrared radiation absorbed or emitted by a surface depends on what the surface is like. Safely follow the method to collect results. Record results and present them in a bar chart. Make conclusions from your investigation. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

This resource is for KS3/4 student taking the AQA science GCSE The resource contains methods in a condensed format suitable for revision and class instruction Practicals included Microscopy (Onion cell slides + Cheek cell slides) Microbiology (Antibiotic discs) Osmosis (Concentration and water movement) Enzymes (Amylase & starch at different pH) Food tests (Carbohydrates, lipids, protein & sugars) Photosynthesis (Elodea) Reaction time (Ruler drop) Field investigations (Quadrat transects) Plant responses (Auxins) Decay (Milk decay at different temperatures) Good luck!
