Three action-packed topics providing a one – stop – shop for the kinetic theory of matter (particle theory), mixtures and solutions and separating mixtures. The two packs in this resource allow the same lesson to be taught to students whether they are in a classroom or distance learning at home. It facilitates hybrid learning and provides equality of opportunity for students who are unable to attend school . For each topic, the classroom resource consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 50 slides and a minimum of 13 varied and exciting printables including guides notes, a foldable, cut-and-stick and progress check. The one-page flowchart lesson plan shows where choices can be made between the printables so that the teacher can select the activities to suit the exact needs of their class. For each topic, the distance learning pack consists of an animated PowerPoint with over 65 slides which, not only teaches the science but also how to gain maximum benefit from distance learning. Each PowerPoint has been designed to replace the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. Additional worksheets, guided notes, cut-outs, foldables and progress checks provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress. These can be printed off by the student or provided by school. For each topic there is also a short digital test/homework which can be returned to the teacher. A shortened photocopiable PDF of each PowerPoint is provided to circulate to those pupils without computers. What’s Covered Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases. Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles. Change of state including sublimation. Pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume. Diffusion. Elements and compounds are pure substance and mixtures are not. Meaning of the terms solute, solvent, solution, soluble and insoluble. Particle theory to explain why stirring, temperature and particle size affect the rate of dissolving. Particle theory to explain dissolving, suspensions and saturated solutions. Extracting information from solubility curves The composition and physical properties of mixtures Evaporation to dryness and crystallisation Distillation Fractional distillation Filtration Chromatography More high quality resources available here.

A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on acids, bases and indicators (litmus and the pH scale) for middle school, plus an enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson to consolidate learning. The lesson pack contains eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired. The game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces learning.

This one-stop-shop for current electricity at KS3 takes pupils from understanding the terms current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them, through current and voltage in series and parallel circuits, the resistance of conductors and insulators and how this is used to create components and finishes with Ohms Law. A free bonus package of a board game, card sort and smart board quiz are included. The module is divided into 11 fully-resourced, differentiated and engaging topics with the 11 animated PowerPoints and 147 assorted printables making even the more difficult concepts easy to understand. In ten of the topics, after explaining the concept, the PowerPoint takes pupils through conducting and, where appropriate, designing an experiment with results tables. Pupils then explain their results using the theory they were taught at the start. Each PowerPoint ends with an animated class exit ticket quiz giving instant feedback on learning to both teacher and pupil. In the 39 worksheets/homeworks emphasis is placed on assessment for learning as each module comes with a detailed answer/mark scheme PowerPoint which make self-assessment and peer assessment easy. Each topic comes with a checklist for pupils to assess their progress on completion of the topic. Each topic comes with a one-page flow-chart lesson plan showing where logical choices between resources can be made enabling the teacher to totally bespoke lessons according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. Many activities place an emphasis on literacy and oracy. These are identified on the flow-charts.
