A two page worksheet with four questions to interpret an angle from a diagram of a protractor (in degrees), four questions to determine the degree and type of angle (i.e. acute or obtuse) and three questions regarding student's knowledge of obtuse, acute and right angles (and their ability to calculate them from reading a protractor).
**Answers can be filled in on sheet or pictures of protractors & questions can be stuck in books & answered there.

I completed these lessons with my year 6 class to practise estimating the size of angles, then measuring their actual size using a protractor. The worksheet for this lesson is differentiated for LA, MA and HA.
The second lesson moves onto the class drawing angles using protractors.
A page of protractors with a variety of acute, obtuse and right angles for pupils measure. A great way to introduce protractors and how to use them. This worksheet could easily be used in both Upper and Lower KS2.
This is a really simple worksheet showing shapes children can measure to find the perimeter of (and can also name to practice naming 2D shapes).
The worksheet was created in word so it’s easy for you to adapt.
It was created to complement this video on teaching perimeter by RebeccaTheMathsLady.
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).
In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .

This is an entire lesson on converting metric units of length, capacity and mass with my year 6 class.
There is a starter on multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 to prepare them for the lesson.
There are lots of visuals to discuss what units of measurement they would use to measure certain items and to deepen their understanding of units of measurement (even better if this can be done alongside physical objects).
There are lots of differentiated practice questions to complete on the whiteboards (answers on the next slide -I like to freeze my board and check answers as I go).
There is a slide with the Learning Objective and a challenge question which I display while they’re completing independent work.
I have included a slide which has work for LA, MA and HA and can be printed off or the class can choose their level from the board (save paper).
I have included the answers on the last slides so that you can mark quickly or get the class to mark their own work!
I have also included practice SATs style questions to stick in the books as a challenge when marking.
Measurement- Measuring Bundle
This is a bundle of three complete and fully resourced lessons introducing pupils to measuring in Science.
The resources are…

Measuring Time: 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…

These being that the children will learn that using a stop click to seconds and hundredths of seconds will give them a precise time.

Measuring Temperature: This is an introductory practical lesson to demonstrate how pupils measure temperature and teaches them the importance of accuracy.
This resource pack contains: A PPT (12 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 temperature. Pupils are asked to estimate the temperature of certain items and plot them on their worksheet. Then they are given the answer and asked to plot the temperatures correctly.
Experiment on measuring temperatures.
Plenary (Exit task) : Slap it up- Pupils are asked to write something they have learnt in the lesson and a question they would like to ask and slap it up on the board before they leave.
Physics: Measuring Force, Newton Meters.
This is a practical lesson introducing pupils to Newton meters.
Measuring Force:
Physics: Measuring Force, Newton Meters Lesson pack contains: A PPT (15 slides) and a peer assessment handout (1 sheet).
Activities include:
Starter Task: A Thinking Skills questions- measuring force.
Task 1: Pupils are introduced to Sir Isaac Newton and his invention, the Newton Meter. Then pupils are asked to measure everyday items and record this information in the form of a table in their exercise books.
Task 2: Pupils should then be given a spring and a hook and 5 weights (1-5 kilograms). They will need to hang the spring and add the weights one by one and measure the length of the spring each time a weight is added and record the data in the form of a table. They will then be asked to plot a line graph (you will need to provide graph paper for this task).
Task 3: Pupils will need to conclude on the results and describe the relationship between weights added and the length of the spring and link this to how a Newton meter works.
Included in this pack is a peer assessment sheet that can be used to mark the individual activities.
Exit task/Plenary: our interactive Starter and Plenary Prompt Selector that is worth £3.
In our lessons, all key words are added to our KS3 Science - Scientific Vocabulary A-Z .
