A bank of short SEN Science activities made for Nearpod, but can be printed out and used in class. Made for a student in my Y8 class with a reading age of 6.

All resources included in powerpoint. Practical required: Teacher to write a fake suicide/murder note (or part of a note) on filter paper. Show the class how it separates into various pigments. Set up student practical with at least 3 inky black pens. Even if one of the pens is not water soluble, this doesn't matter as it can be a talking point. Please see my other resources too.

Suitable for all year groups but I use this with year 7s as a core lesson in teaching students how to 'work scientifically'. There are 2 lessons in this pack. Both lessons come complete with mini-pleanaries, 1 worksheet each lesson and a learning tracker for students to show their progress on the learning objectives. This fits in very nicely with the Oxford Activate SOW but can be used with an SOW as it is a very important topic for students to understand early on in secondary school or even late primary. I spend a lot of time on making my lessons and only upload the best to TES premium so I hope you find these useful, leave me feedback/stars and see my other upload.

A lesson outline created for the Collins Year 7 Scheme of work. (Lesson 4) Learning Objectives Students must be able to show that energy can be useful or non-useful/wasted. (Levels 4-5) Students should be able to illustrate energy transfers using Sankey diagrams (Levels 5-6) You can use the interactive whiteboard to fill in the squares and can create some more of your own interactive questions by duplicating the slides. Worksheet not included, sorry. p.s. theres a couple of mathematical mistakes on slide 7 and 10

- Tutorial - Examples - Quizzes - No Worksheets needed - Peer Marking - Foundation Level. This was made for my bottom set year 9 class who have just started their foundation GCSEs. They are really trying but much of this stuff is proving very difficult for them. This is therefore aimed at very low level learners to help them understand the meaning of isotopes first and foremost. There is also a little bit on Relative Atomic Mass and Relative Molecular Mass with calculation questions.

An introduction to Atoms and Atomic structure. Lessons includes: - Starter question followed by Title and LOs - Interesting atomic facts - How to draw an atom - Making a 3D atom (with instructions) - Extension Worksheet (next step sheet) - Mini-whiteboard AFL plenary The content of this lesson is in more detail than standard KS3 lessons on atoms. I believe learning about electrons, protons and their position inside an atom is vital for learning about the periodic table, static electricity and so on later in KS3.

Lesson 2 in the KS3 Space Series Main activity works best if students have access to the internet or ipads. This lesson includes: Slide 1: QFL, LO's + Starter Slide 2: Learning the names of the planets in order Slide 3: Watch video and fill in worksheets Slide 4: Answers Slide 5: Main Activity: Collecting information on the planets. If the students have no iPads/laptops then this will work with information cards around the room. (I have not included these but they are easy to find) Includes differentiation. Slide 10: Video links on dwarf planets/pluto Slide 12 + 13: Worksheets to print. I only sell my best resources so you can buy with confidence that a lot of work has gone into making these well designed.

What happens to the energy used in appliances? What are Sankey Diagrams? How can you draw accurate Sankey diagrams? This powerpoint has many activities with teacher answers to guide students through drawing and understanding Sankey diagrams. To use this lesson to it's fullest, students will need mini-whiteboards and the teacher could use the interactive whiteboard to get students to draw on. Please also check out my other resources for top quality teaching materials.

What word links Cry and Shower… 11 Quizzes with 6 questions each. + 1 practice slide to explain the game to students. I use this as a form activity/competition with my year 7s. It’s probably best suited to GCSE and A-level form groups as some of the phrases can be pretty tough to figure out. Please leave feedback and check out my other resources.

A lesson plan with presentation slides and worksheets for new KS3 Science Curriculum. This lesson covers: -What is variation -Continuous and discontinuous variation -Species -Hybrids Probably works best with Google Presentations: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1oGkWjowadxhIA5KsaPZHlAc0i2D4EjYYxahzkxY61fY/edit?usp=sharing

By the end of this lesson students should be able to recall the structures of plant and animal cells, and describe how mineral salts are taken into roots by active transport.

By the end of this lesson students should be able to explain the role of a plant cell, and describe the difference between plant and animal cells. Students are to copy all blue text. Please check slide notes for any additional information.

Made for 2 x 45min. lessons. Lots of activities for students to practice and share their understanding. The last 5 slides are printable to be used as worksheets for the 2 lessons. Print double-sided, 2-per-page. Please leave a review, it really helps out :) Keywords: Glucose, Hormones, Regulation, Homeostasis, Type 1, Type 2, Revision.

Similar to Badger tasks, this task has been created with literacy and scientific vocabulary in mind. You can download the files as an editable Powerpoint or a flat Printable PDF. The student file consists of a front page asking students to explain the workings of the human body from organelles up to the full organism. Success criteria is detailed within an 'IDEAL' grid, and keywords are given. After 2 pages there is an area for teachers to give feedback and students to respond. I have also written up a 4 page 'IDEAL' answer for the task which can be used as a guide or read out to the class from time to time. I will be making many more of these and uploading them on to TES throughout the year so please look out for them. Key-search-words: human body, organs, organism, organ systems, organelles, organisation, specialised cells, quality of written communication, essay.

About 3 hours of lesson time needed to complete. Download includes: - Starters - Teacher led examples - AFL Activites - Practice Questions - Active Learning Activity - Homelearning All Learning Objectives in line with Oxford Activate SOW for Year 8s. Please leave feedback rate once used.

A double lesson for KS3 pupils to start the Activate 2 Energy Unit. Guides students to learn about the energy we get from food and how quickly we use that energy through various activities. First LO covered by: Video, Class discussion, Higher or lower game LO2: Class discussion with answers + Graph drawing (working scientifically) LO3: Example calculation + 5 further calculations of energy consumed vs energy used. (numeracy skills) This lesson is expected to take between 90-120 minutes. No printed resources needed.

Worksheets + Answer Sheets 3 worksheets to help students get to grips with explaining elements, compounds and mixtures. - The foundation worksheet is a simple wordsearch with a small descriptive activity at the bottom of the worksheet. - The intermediate worksheet provides scaffolding for students to describe what the different particle diagrams are showing. Elements, compounds or mixtures? - The advanced worksheet provides less scaffolding and encourages students to come up with their own descriptions for elements, compounds and mixtures, using what they see in the diagrams. All worksheets can be downloaded in powerpoint for editing, and pdf format for easy printing.
