A simple lesson which helps students think about science in the past, present and the future. It helps them determine which of the three "umbrella" disciplines (Bio, Chem, Phys) and allows them the choice of activities. I used this as an end of term filler lesson and it worked well with year 7 & 8 (especially the fact or fiction activity) To note: The past is everything they currently study, the present is the fact or fiction activity at the end. The future is a posed question in the plenary, as we don't know what the future of scientific discovery is, though it may prompt some nice discussion.

How to plan a 1hr science lesson: NB/ Note for the wary. This is how I do it. It’s not the only way. I used this resource to support trainee teachers to develop their lesson structure and provide a rough guide to how a lesson evolves to the end. They seemed happy. Included is a breakdown of the different stages of a lesson following the principle of: Starter Guided Learning Guided Practice Independent Practice Plenary Each stage is explained with do’s and don’ts A sample lesson plan template A Lesson Plan Checklist.
