Year 7, 8 and 9 assessments I have made for all the KS3 topics. They blend SATS style tests with level assessed tasks. This includes celebrities to make it more appealing.

Year 8 and 9 KS3 assessments and RAG improvement tasks Year 7 also available

I cut up a 'CGP revision guide&' and set up 3 separate revision sessions. One for Biology, one for chem and one for physics. Basically the students go around with these revision questions and around the room are the Biology notes spread out with some demonstrations. They then do the same for the other 2 revision sessions to help them with their year 9 exams.

works with exploring science

A great wordsearch about energy resources

A good ppt about the genetic code

A good ppt on photosynthesis

A great wordsearch for any year group

Brilliant sheet which guides you through a heart dissection

A great worksheet on voltage, current and resistance

KS3 year 7 assessments and RAG improvement tasks year 8 and 9 available too

These are KS3 updated schemes of work which were given in booklet form to teachers to plan lesson. The worksheets that are referred to are from the exploring science folders. These are not intended be full schemes of work. They present core ideas that all teachers must do and the teachers can still add their own individuality into the lesson.

This is appropriate for students aged 11-14 for their science curriculum. It blends three years work into 2 and a bit years. It gives good ideas for your lessons and still gives teachers the ability to teach freely with their own ideas and to stay focused on core ideas

This is a lesson that was used for a year 7 group where they mainly looked at gel cubes which were dyed with phenolphthalein and acid was dropped on different sized cubes to see rate of diffusion. I focused on the Skills side of the lesson and it was rated outstanding . I hope you find it useful.

This is a condensed scheme of work written for teachers to get a quick overview of lesson content and practicals based on the ACTIVATE year 8 scheme. I have not included the power points and worksheets as these are from other Authors but if you are unsure about anything please contact me and I will do my best to help.

A fun lesson used on a core curriculum evening to give a sample lesson to parents. This involves the parents and students working together to investigate the best techniques used to cool down tea. This lesson was done in 20 minute slots to 3 separate groups but can be stretched out to a full lesson. It includes a fun voice over activity at the end where students need to use their imagination and science skills to try and make a voice over for a man cooling tea in an unusual way. Enjoy

Worksheets which cover work from the new criteria. All worksheets use different styles of learning too

These tests for the whole of ages 11-14 to test them on the key topics. They blend poster style assessment with SATS style assessments

This lesson achieved an outstanding grade during observation and the students thoroughly enjoyed learning about bath bombs and carbonates and acid. It is aimed at a lower group but can easily be tweaked for middle or higher groups. The worksheets are differentiated and can be found within the powerpoint. There is also a designing a bath bomb sheet within the powerpoint too. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine did.
