Lesson 1 of Lovestruck project on The Microscope

These resources support the first context poster of the Lovestruck Project, which is part of the JACOSA scheme. This is a Key Stage 3 resource and covers learning on the microscope. The first part of this project is covering work in the National Curriculum on cells. This story based learning project provides students with a compelling learning experience that is designed to put learning into context. The posters are often used at the beginning of lessons to excite learning. Teachers can plan lessons around the story. In this lesson, Grant attends Charles Brook High School for the first time and meets a girl called Michelle who he really likes in a science lesson taught by Mr. Goddard. The class just happens to be learning about the compound microscope. The finding out task is a reciprocal teaching activity and the application task, often used as a homework, is an entry from Robert Hooke’s personal diary back in 1672. I have attached a stretch activity to this bundle that can be used to help pupils achieve the mastery objective.

In his first assignment, Oscar investigates what type of biscuit is the best for dunking in hot drinks. In his second assignment, he investigates rates of reaction and what makes a good bath bomb and in his third assignment he investigates the amount of energy in different types of crisp. This project is designed to teach pupils to think scientifically and how to plan and carry out science investigations. It is usually used at Key Stage 3 and covers work on energy, healthy eating and chemical reactions.
