A set of 3 lessons aimed to recap the specification points; 4.1.1.1 Eukaryotes and prokaryotes 4.1.1.2 Animal and plant cells Required practical activity 1: use a light microscope to observe, draw and label a selection of plant and animal cells. 4.1.1.5 Microscopy 4.1.2.1 Chromosomes 4.1.2.2 Mitosis and the cell cycle Each lesson starts with a 4 recall questions based on prior knowledge. The lessons include outcomes, key words and a link to the learning journey for the topic that can be bought separately from my page. These were designed to recap content students learned at the end of Y9 when starting Y10, however would make good revision lessons for Y11 students also. The first lesson has exam questions to go with it too which are in the download but have come from exampro. Icons in the lessons are all created by me.

A glossary of terms that could be used in the Collins KS3 Scheme of Work for Y8 - Unit 1 - Getting the Energy the Body Needs. There are approximately 3 words per lesson - the numbers at the side correspond to the lesson number in the scheme of work. This is designed to work with the learning journey I have also uploaded to TES and is available for download. THIS IS A GLOSSARY ONLY AND NOT A SCHEME OF WORK.

This lesson is designed as an engaging introduction to lab safety for Year 7 students (age 11). It’s ideal for a first science lesson in secondary school and includes a variety of interactive, student-friendly activities to promote safe behaviour in the lab. What’s included: A 4-grid multiple choice starter (perfect for mini whiteboards but easily adaptable). Clear learning objectives and key vocabulary. A fun “spot the hazards” cartoon activity to identify unsafe behaviour in a school lab. A creative lab rules writing task supported by a catchy safety song (YouTube link included). Unsafe scenario rewrite task with model answers for guided feedback. Introduction to common hazard symbols with meanings. A cut-and-stick hazard symbol match-up activity plus a short quiz. A 6-question plenary quiz with short answers for quick assessment. This lesson is fully editable and designed to build students’ confidence with lab expectations from day one. Please note: Some visual elements (e.g. icons) were made in Canva, and screenshots are used from BBC Bitesize for educational purposes only.

This is a learning journey I have created for the Collins KS3 Scheme of Work for Y8 - Unit 1 - Getting the Energy the Body Needs. Created in Canva. This is downloadable as PDF as 1 sheet or as 2 sheets so they can be printed 2 per page. THIS IS NOT A WHOLE UNIT OF WORK - JUST THE LEARNING JOURNEY. I will upload my whole unit of lessons soon if they are of interest to anyone. Download comes without the logo in the middle. Any questions please ask.
