This writing frame is used to help pupils practice with their extended writing questions in Science. It uses smaller steps and leading questions for pupils to be able to answer the large question that they would see in the exam. The frame include keywords that the pupils should use in their answer, a success criteria (directly from the mark scheme) and a picture in the center, either from the question itself or as a visual prompt. This is really useful for all pupils and ticks that literacy box!

This is for a low ability KS3 class, with a Ghostbusters theme. Pupils begin by putting in order the stages of hearing (they would have done this in a previous lesson). Pupils then determine their own hearing range using a video. Pupils then watch a video on narwhals and how they use echolocation, answering some questions along the way. Pupils then get introduced to ultrasound and some uses. They are then given differentiated maths questions to go along side this. Finally pupils compare the hearing ranges of different animals.

This lesson introduces coral reefs and how humans are affecting them by using a comprehension starter. It then has a collective memory tasks where pupils learn about the environment in which coral reefs are found. It contains a link for a podcast with a few questions to ensure that pupils have listened and taken away the key points. The lesson then progresses into food chains, webs and energy transfer on coral reefs using Finding Nemo as an example. It contains a feed web game, which requires some printing, but little preparation. They then look at a Finding Nemo food web and discuss what would happen if characters were removed as well as energy transfer. For the homework pupils must use the simulation on explorelearning.com (the simulation is called the same as the worksheet title)

This is a low ability KS3 lesson with a Star Wars theme. Pupils begin by reading a magazine article from Young Scientist about Sir Isaac Newton (Pages 20-21). They write 2 things they found interesting about Sir Isaac and then 3 things that didn't know before about forces. Pupils then go over the equation for calculating spring constant. They then complete an experiment. Pupils create a graph and an extension is given to find the spring constant using the graph. Finally, they complete a gap fill and answer a question on units.

This is aimed at a low ability KS3 class. It has the theme of Star Wars. I would like to say that the Star Wars examples are from RichardBonser (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/moments-levers-and-pivots-introduction-with-star-wars-11204405) Pupil begin by doing a wordsearch. They then go over the equation for a moment. The using examples they calculate moments. Pupils then discuss how changing the distance an affect the moment. Pupils complete some calculations and then do an experiment using meter rulers and wooden triangles. Finally they do a challenge question.

This is a Jurassic Park themed lesson aimed at KS3 pupils. Pupils begin by thinking about the types of energy that enter and leave an object, they complete a worksheet for this. Pupils then are reminded about kinetic and potential energy, with examples. Leading on from this, pupils then complete a description of energy transfer on a rollercoaster, and describe the energy types and particular points. Useful and wasted energy is explained to the pupils, with a simplified diagram. Pupils then create similar diagrams for different things seen at a theme park. Finally pupils are then given one Olympic scenario each and have to draw an energy transfer diagram as an exit ticket. There is a homework where pupils use the Jurassic World website to create energy transfer diagrams of activities in different sections. There is also an online homework used as an extension of the rollercoaster task (https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park-basics).

The lesson is for a low ability class with a Pokemon theme throughout. The starter involves designing a cell with a function. The pupils can be as imaginative as they like. You can get them to judge each other's cells. Pupils then get given a poster (to be printed in A3) to complete by circulating the room and collecting information. There is a lower ability poster which tells them where to write all the information and links it to animal and plant Pokemon. There is also a higher ability poster which they decide which Pokemon would have those cells, there is a male and female version of the same Pokemon (this may need explaining if your pupils aren't familiar with Pokemon - the top right is female and the one directly below is male - they look slightly different). Then show pictures of different cells and pupils can use mini white boards to name them - I use this as an opportunity to get verbal confirmation that pupils can give a structure and function of each. Finally there is a choice of two exit tickets, a true and false or a match exercise.

This is a lesson with a Disney Frozen theme. The lesson is an introduction to the three states of matter. The lesson begins with pupils labeling what they think are solids, liquids and gases on a Frozen scene. They then listen to a song and are asked some questions based on it (the hyperlink for the song is in Elsa's speech bubble). Pupils then use a table to sort some objects, statements and diagrams into solids, liquids and gases. Pupils then do a series of experiments on custard (you want to make this with the consistency to be a non-Newtonian fluid). Finally, pupils write a conclusion about whether custard is a solid, liquid or gas based on their observations and what they have learned.
