Combined Science Only click here for single science

• Combined Science (Foundation)
• Combined Science (Higher)
  …
  Learning Objectives
• Describe the particle arrangement and strength of forces of attraction for solids, liquids and gases
• Describe what causes gas pressure
• Explain the effect of temperature on gas pressure

…
All Lessons Contain

• Starter activity (retrieval practice/recall)
• Teach/Check/Practice (I do/We do/You do) cycles with tasks which demonstrate that the learning objectives have been met in student books
• Check phases are compatible with cold-calling, mini-white boards or can be delivered as quick quizzes in books.
• Practice phases encourage writing in full sentences using correct vocabulary and phrasing
• Opportunities for assessment for learning and independent practice with scaffolded tasks building to independence.
• Self-assessment answer slides
• Challenge extension work for higher ability students
• SEND adaptations: lessons are chunked to avoid working memory overload, blue background for Irlens, word banks are provided, text is broken up for dyslexia and a consistent format is followed for ASD.
• Careers are integrated into the lesson. Careers links have a gold star in the corner to identify them easily
  …
  Course Adaptations
• The foundation lesson features specific teaching of key vocabulary and increased use of visual prompts. The teach-check-practice cycles are shorter to reduce cognitive load. Prior knowledge from KS3 is assumed minimal and there are extended check phases with enough questions for a second check phase if needed.
• The combined higher lesson accommodates a broader range of abilities and working speeds. Questions with a higher level of challenge are supported by word banks.
