KS3 Science Autumn 2 Bundle: SEN-Friendly, Three-Tier Packs for Years 7, 8 and 9
This bundle has all three Autumn 2 packs: 54 ready-to-teach lessons across 9 topics, made for SEN schools, alternative provision and mixed-attainment KS3 classes. Every lesson comes in three colour-coded tiers, and the same predictable routine runs through all three years.
What is in the bundle
Year 7 (47 files): Cells, Forces, Separating mixtures (6 lessons each)
Year 8 (50 files): Electricity (5 lessons), Circulation and transport in plants (3), Energy (5), Exothermic and endothermic reactions (5)
Year 9 (44 files): Earth and the atmosphere (9 lessons), Engineering (9)
Each pack contains
18 editable PowerPoint lessons. Each one follows the same routine: Do now (4 retrieval questions with answers), objectives, key words, teaching slides, hinge question, task slide with a built-in timer and exit ticket.
18 Word worksheets, each in three tiers (Blue, Green, Orange), with teacher answers.
Practical sheets with equipment lists, numbered methods and safety notes. Technician lists are in the slide notes.
A baseline and an exit assessment for every topic. Questions 1 to 5 are the same on both, so you can measure progress.
Mark schemes and a progress tracker spreadsheet for every topic. The tracker works out progress and colour-codes it for you.
A unit plan and a Read Me First guide.
The three tiers
Blue (recognise): word banks, cut-and-stick sorts, matching and circling
Green (describe): tables to complete, calculations with help boxes, sentence starters
Orange (explain): extended answers, multi-step calculations, evaluation and challenge questions
You can give pupils their tier privately by colour, so no one is labelled in front of the class.
