Models how students should write out a scientific report: *) Abstract *) Introduction *) Method *) Results *) Discussion

Designed to be the third lessons for Year 7s (3/4). Learning outcomes: (*) Describe the use of different lab equipment. (*) Identify the appropriate lab equipment for an investigation. (*) Identify safety issues in an unsafe environment. Students will learn the common equipment they will encounter in the lab and their function. They will also learn how to measure liquids using equipment that form a meniscus. There are also safety rules and also how to light a Bunsen Burner

Designed to be the second lessons for Year 7s (2/4). Learning outcomes: (*) List the scientific method into the correct order. (*) Identify questions that can be answered using science. (*) Identify the different variables in Brainiac experiments. Students will learn the difference scientific variables (Control, Independent, Dependent) and how to spot them in written situations and videos. Students also learn what makes a question scientific using Wolfgang Pauli's "not even wrong" quote.

This booklet was created to ensure consistency, and to develop scientific thinking skills. We have so much content to cover in lessons so this is a home resource which is designed to override homework. These activities include stop-motion activities, building 3D models and also scientific methods. Students should spend 6-8 hours in total on this booklet - a timetable is also incorporated in the booklet so that students can plan out which activities to attempt throughout the weeks before the due date. As mentioned in the title, the two content units are Particles and Cells but at the end, there is also a scientific skills section which walks students through the scientific method. They will end up creating their own scientific questions, plan an investigation and write it out. This booklet is 26 pages long but saves a lot of space by linking youtube videos where students will gain the necessary knowledge needed to complete the various sections (we all know students don't like reading a lot of information). Also incorporated are GCSE questions that link to the KS3 content. I hope you find this resource useful - Lagoondry
