Women In Science

(0)
A lesson looking at Women in Science and the contributions they have made, hopefully inspiring young girls in Schools to consider a career in STEM fields. Starter: Work out what all the pictures have in common (all discoveries made by women), match up the questions to the percentage answers. Main:Task 1- complete the 'Women In Science Factfind' worksheet using the computers. Task 2- Create a factfile about a particular woman in Science. 5 factfiles to go through as a class to give them an idea of what to include. Plenary: Sharing in pairs information about their woman in Science, then presenting to the group interesting facts about their woman in Science. Homework: Produce a poster or leaflet to persuade more women / girls to get into scientific fields of work. The last slide has links to different organisation that work to get more women into scientific fields of work.

The Science of Superheroes

(2)
A collection of 3 lessons looking at the Science of Superheroes and students designing their own superhero. Used with year 7 students, but could be used for the rest of KS3 and higher up KS2. All worksheets are included within the PowerPoint (as hidden slides, that just need printing off). Lesson 1: Starter-listing superheroes and thinking how we can group/classify them. Activity- look at origins of powers, types of powers and features to think about in designing a costune. Introduce task of designing a superhero, start some rough planning work. Plenary- thinking how magnetic powers might be useful in day to day life. Lesson 2: Starter- true or false activity about real life 'superpowers'. Activity- designing superhero, thinking about powers and origin of powers. Plenary- what does groot need to grow/survive. Lesson 3: Starter- peer assess each other work around the classroom using post it notes, then making some improvements. Activity- A story/cartoon strip about an accident in the lab where their superhero is first on the scene. Plenary- answer the questions before magneto pulls the objects to him (questions could be changed to cover topics done recently).
