This is a lesson I put together for my students to learn about Convection remotely. I have recorded myself talking through the powerpoint I would usually use for this lesson in school. The video is broken into chunks so that they can complete various activities as we go through the lesson. Differentiated worksheets that go along with this lesson included - (Squid = High, Crab/Starfish = Mid/Low). Instructions shared with the students were: Watch Convection Video 1 for an intro to today’s lesson and a brief recap of last lesson Complete starter question - there is a choice of worksheets - one for Squids and another for Crabs/Starfish - choose the best for you! Watch Convection video 2 Watch the youtube demo of a Convection current (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEDUtS0IMws&t=2s) Watch Convection video 3 Complete Radiator task on worksheet Watch Convection video 4 Complete question on worksheet about why convection can’t happen in solids and then check your understanding by explaining how convection takes place in a kettle If you want you can watch an explanation of why convection doesn’t happen in solids in Convection video 5 Want to try convection at home - check out the Colourful Convection Currents youtube link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxyoeShbpKM) I’ve added the Google Slide presentation at the bottom if you want to look through that at any point. My students really enjoyed this lesson and said that it almost felt like a ‘normal’ lesson at school! Hope you find it useful and that it saves you time at this stressful time! I am doing a whole unit on heat transfer at the moment so keep checking back for further lessons if you enjoy this format.

This is a lesson I put together for my students to learn about Conduction remotely. I have recorded myself talking through the powerpoint I would usually use for this lesson in school. The video is broken into chunks so that they can complete various activities as we go through the lesson - including a simple practical they can carry out at home. Worksheet that goes along with this lesson included. Instructions shared with the students were: Watch Conduction Video 1 & 2 Carry out experiment explained in video - write down your results down on a scrap of paper as you will need them later Watch Conduction Video 3 Complete relevant sections on the Conduction worksheet - write as detailed answers as you can for each question Watch Conduction Video 4 Complete the rest of worksheet - write as detailed answers as you can for each question Obviously this was recorded with my own students in mind so there are references in video to meeting on Google Meet for support. So you will need to ignore these references. This was my first attempt at doing a videoed lesson so a little rough round the edges (much improved Convection lesson available) but still should save you a lot of time!

Ppt and resources used for first lesson in unit about heat transfer. Contains worksheet used with lower ability class and word search used as plenary

Useful for end of KS3 exams - I print out the student version of the ppt with four slides per page - they then fill in the gaps as we go through ppt in class. They then can stick two sheets back to back on a piece of card and cut them out to make 4 double sided revision cards. My students love this way of revising.

I run this challenge after teaching a unit on renewable and non renewable energy sources. The activity is taken from Practical Action's website. I've done this with two mixed ability classes and it works really well - everyone very involved and some great critical thinking going on while discussing designs etc.

Includes word loop and 'Find someone who ... &' used for a revision lesson on forces before end of unit test

This is a group of resources that contains all you need to run a World Science Day/Week in your school. Every year I put on a week devoted to Science at my Prep School. I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. These are my resources from this year when I choose the theme of Our Amazing Solar System to celebrate Tim Peake being on the International Space Station. TES Cosmic Classroom cards were laminated and stuck around the school for the Science Quiz treasure hunt as well as the Astronomy quotes (thank you to TES contributer). Teachers were encouraged to do a Pop Rocket lesson during the week (see attached sheet) and use the video link below to use as starters for lessons that week (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-c1dffc35-fe53-492d-a4bf-752a22bd1ebc).

My students always seen to struggle to write a good scientific conclusion so I collaborated with my colleagues in the English Dept to come up with a way to help them. We used the PEE paragraph as a starting point and produced these posters to help the students. I then used it with a practical we were doing at that time (which shaped tea bag makes the strongest tea) to demonstrate a good conclusion.

Used with mixed Yr 7 group as first lesson introducing bunsen burners - was a double lesson. Opportunity for teacher assessment and peer assessment (thank you to other TES contributers). Also SEN starter sheet used with Downs syndrome/v.low ability studenst

All you need for a revision lesson on conduction, convection and radiation. Includes mindmap with gaps to fill in for students, ppt to use during lesson that includes extra assessment opportunities, a quiz, a crossword and some exam questions (and answers) to practice with
