A series of 8 practical activities, put into the context of careers in Science. This is aimed at KS3 students, introducing some practical skills. Aims of the project: To learn about some careers in Science, and to try some out. To develop investigation skills as required in the KS4 core practical’s included at GCSE. Students get to experience being an Aerospace engineer by designing and testing paper planes, a Biochemist by testing urine samples, a Biomedical scientist by testing different anti bacterial soaps, a Chemical engineer by investigating recipes for bouncy balls, a Civil engineer by designing and testing bridges, a Forensic scientist by taking and analysing finger prints, a Mechanical engineer by making cotton reel motors, and a Pyrotechnic technician, by testing firework colours and making sparklers. Each includes a job profile page to be filled out using the national careers service website to provide context for the lesson. Also included is a handy technician guide. This is designed to be handed out as a student booklet, with each career taking around 2 single hour lessons to complete, aimed at KS3 students. Students develop their investigation skills, as well as learning about some different careers in Science.

A help sheet to tell students about command words used in Science questions. I've laminated these, and put them in a folder on the display board so students can help themselves if they need additional support.

A help sheet to tell students about how to plan a Scientific investigation or experiment. I've laminated these, and put them in a folder on the display board so students can help themselves if they need additional support.

A worksheet to help students practise displacement reactions. They can decide whether a reaction will take place using the reactivity series, practise writing out displacement reactions, and finally explain why a reaction won't take place.

A help sheet to tell students about how to draw and interpret a graph. I've laminated these, and put them in a folder on the display board so students can help themselves if they need additional support.

A Tarsia puzzle on Specific heat capacity. Includes units, and equation questions to test concept and maths. Works well as a class competition, or would make a nice display. Pupils cut out puzzle pieces to complete one each I’ve included a solution as well.

A giant puzzle using momentum equations. Students cut out all the triangles, then match up solutions and questions to make a giant hexagon.

Review please! This is a worksheet in a series made to summarise and recap topics from GCSE Physics. All worksheets are based on BBC bitesize pages with the same name, with a QR code to guide students to the correct page. All the answers to the front page can be found there. There is then a 15 mark exam-style question to test their new knowledge. Every worksheet in the series is out of 15 so students can track their progress. I've used them with year 11, and set them as homework, that way they are forced to revise early! This is designed to help revise for the Edexcel iGCSE in Physics, but is fairly universal and should fit with any exam board. Includes PDFs for easy printing, and word documents for editing.

A differentiated worksheet on why objects float or sink. The worksheet gets progressively harder, helping students to understand floating and sinking, and finally introducing the idea of calculating density. Works for KS3, or as a reminder for KS4

I used these information cards on different dinosaurs to start a project with my year 7s. I told my students that we were designing a fish tank, but for dinosaurs! They had to choose their favourite for their tank. They had to think about other dinosaurs they’d have to include to create a food chain for their pet, as well as the habitat. More able students also thoughts about other things they might want to include based no the adaptations of their chosen dinosaur. Alternatively, students could use these to make a food chain, or food web, and the extension task could be to write about their adaptations or habitats.

Students make 2 dice, one with names of metals, one with 'oxygen', 'sulphur' and 'chlorine'. They roll the dice, and write out the word equations. Nice introduction to word equations for KS3.

My lesson on mass defect and binding energy. Talks them through the equation and how to use it.

A form to fill in with your tutees, to help them to set targets, based on their school reports. Students have an opportunity to decide which subjects they need to work on, and set targets to help them do this.

This is a 60 minute assessment made up of past paper questions from the OCR Physics A - H158, H558 course.

Students order some statements describing the Big Bang Theory, then draw pictures to turn it into a comic strip.

Deriving the PV = 1/3 Nmc2 equation in 7 simple steps. Pupil either follow the rules to derive the equation, or (for higher level challenge) reorder the steps, then fill them in. This is a derivation that they are required to know and this is designed to simplify a complex idea! Please review.

This is a tracker designed for use with revision summary and exam sheets. Find them in my shop, there are 14 in total across the following topics: Electricity Waves Energy Forces/Motion They are a series made to summarise and recap topics from GCSE Physics.
