Mixtures Solutions and Suspensions Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Find the Pair Game KS3

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on mixtures, solution, suspensions, solubility and saturated solutions for middle school plus an enjoyable yet challenging find the pair game.

The teaching pack contains a fully animated PowerPoint and eighteen resources. It is intended that the teacher selects the appropriate printables to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.

The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning.
