Pupils begin by researching insulation or watching a small video (plenty on Youtube), the second task is to discuss way in which a house can lose heat (open windows, damage and leading to poor insulation), the main task is list ideas to reduce heat loss, looking at main areas of the house where heat is lost. The plenary allowed pupils to discuss houses of the future and how they need to be built to reduce heat loss. The lesson could also be guided to show eco friendly ideas.

During this lesson (P2.5 Heating and insulating buildings) GCSE students work through a variety of tasks to develop their understanding of how homes are heated and how to reduce the rate of cooling. Based on the 5th from the AQA 9-1 GCSE Physics (OUP scheme) P2: Energy transfer by heating chapter. Also available as a digital worksheet, which is ideal for distance learning, independent study or catch-up of missed work through absence. Presentation contains (28 slides)- Bell work activity Lesson objective and success criteria Information slides Challenge activities (group work) Practical activity (where appropriate) Demonstrate understanding tasks (with answers) Lesson resources (additional to scheme) Aimed at a mixed ability class covering content 1-8. Please note: Kerboodle worksheets from scheme are not included due to license.

Perfect for secondary school science classes, it includes: Starter Activity: Review key heat transfer concepts with targeted questions on conduction, convection, and radiation. Big Questions: Investigate how heat is lost from homes and how insulation helps reduce costs and energy waste. Detailed Explanations: Explore real-life applications of heat transfer, including loft insulation, cavity walls, radiator reflectors, and double-glazed windows. Practice Problems: Include payback time calculations to analyze the financial and environmental benefits of insulation. Interactive Tasks: Fill-in-the-blank activities, practical questions, and opportunities to reflect on energy-saving strategies. This resource is designed to support student understanding of thermal energy transfer and encourage critical thinking about sustainable living.

This group of resources has been created for use as induction to science work for year 6 students preparing for secondary school. They can generally be used by KS2 and KS3 students (years 3 to 8) though. Build a Rainforest: In Science, some of the things we learn about are ecosystems, photosynthesis and the water cycle. All of these things can be explored by building our own mini ecosystem.

worded and wordless cards to support the writing of the book The way back home.

A good small group or 1:1 activity when working with children who need to develop their sentence building, particularly useful for EAL and SEN children. A common target set by SALTs for children who have speech and language difficulties is to work on developing their subject + verb + object sentences, and this is a good way to approach it. There are 36 cards showing various subjects (boy, girl, dog, cat etc) doing various verb actions such as sitting, walking, drinking, jumping, writing, reading, eating and sleeping. I usually place all the cards face down on the table and get the children to pick a card and then describe the picture (ie The boy is sleeping in bed) and then post them into one of my home made post boxes, or alternatively, they can see how many cards they can collect. I have found this an excellent way of practicing sentence building and once confident you can encourage them to expand sentences to include adjectives.
