Put this together for a low ability Y8 group but it could be used across KS3. I've used as many &'interesting&'; plant species that I know of as possible and talking about these with pupils should be a big part of the lesson, so look them up first! I've given the names of the plants featured in the notes section under each slide.

Presentation on the food webs topic for KS3. High focus on engagement, versatile and great opportunites for questioning and AfL.

This lesson focuses on the new spec AQA requirements for energy dissipation and reduction. Different forms of insulation should be shown around the room (cavity wall, double glazing, roof insulation etc) as one of the activities involves students finding this information themselves. It should be followed up using an approved AQA worksheet on this topic.

This lesson is based on the new KS3 Epxloring Science specification for Year 8: Light topic. The lesson is based around appropriate worksheets which should be sought via your institution. The lesson was designed for a middle ability Year 8 group but could be used for both LA and HA groups with little effort.

This lesson is based on the new KS3 Epxloring Science specification for Year 8: Light topic. The lesson is based around appropriate worksheets which should be sought via your institution.

This lesson looks at how electricity is transmitted along the national grid and how and why transformers are used to change voltage. This could be demonstrated using a 'national grid' demo and then should be followed up by an AQA approved worksheet on the topic.

Presentation on the variation topic for KS3. High focus on engagement, versatile and great opportunites for questioning and AfL.

General introduction to the topic. Made for low ability Y10 class (KS4)

A lesson from the KS3 Exploring Science Year 7 specification on energy. The lesson is developed with appropriate worksheets in mind which should be sourced from your institution. This was designed for a middle ability Year 7 group but could easily be used for both LA/HA groups with little effort.

A lesson from the KS3 Exploring Science Year 7 specification on energy. Students should be provided with spirit burners containing different fuels, with which to test the idea that not all fuels give out the same amount of energy. The lesson is developed with appropriate worksheets in mind which should be sourced from your institution. This was designed for a middle ability Year 7 group but could easily be used for both LA/HA groups with little effort.

Presentation and worksheet on predator and prey relationships for KS3. High focus on engagement, versatile and great opportunites for questioning and AfL.

A lesson based on the KS3/Year y Exploring science specification from the cells topic. The lesson is designed to fit around appropriate KS3/Year 7 worksheets, which should be sourced via your institution. Specifically a worksheet that includes data regarding organ transplants, the one I used is copyright protected and I therefore cannot upload, but others are available online. The lesson was designed for a middle ability Year 7 group but are easily used for both LA/HA groups as well.

Presentation and Worksheet on the adaptation topic for KS3. High focus on engagement, versatile and great opportunites for questioning and AfL.

This lesson is based upon the new KS3 exploring science topic on the particle model of matter. The lesson is built around appropriate worksheets which should be sourced through your institution. The lesson was designed for a middle ability Y7 group but could easily be used with a HA or LA group with little effort.

A lesson from the KS3 Exploring Science Year 7 specification on energy. This is a practical based lesson whereby students should test the amount of energy in different foodstuffs. The lesson is developed with appropriate worksheets in mind which should be sourced from your instititution. This was designed for a middle ability Year 7 group but could easily be used for both LA/HA groups with little effort.

This lesson is focussed on how and why the pH scale is used, student should be given the opportunity to discuss the advantages of using a pH scale instead of just colours of indicators. They should draw conclusions as to the differences between litmus and UI and should complete a follow up approved exploring science worksheet.

A lesson developed for the new 2016 GCSE Chemistry Specification, this fits into the atoms, elements and periodic table topic. Designed for a HA class but equally usable with MA/LA. Please use your departmental resources to determine appropriate worksheet/exam questions for your class.

This lesson is based upon the new KS3 exploring science topic on the particle model of matter. This lesson is practical based and involves having the students make and test polymer slime. It would be wise to avoid this lesson with challenging classes! The lesson is built around appropriate worksheets which should be sourced through your institution. The lesson was designed for a middle ability Y7 group but could easily be used with a HA or LA group with little effort.
