The new science KS3 requires discussion of the importance of insects to food security and the reasons for insect decline. The powerpoint covers the main ideas and includes a video link. The 2 sheets are literacy based (scan and skim for information, key words).

About 2 hours of teaching. Powerpoint to illustrate the rights and wrongs of placing straight and curved LOBFs. Worksheets to support tasks. Identifying incorrect aspects of a hand-drawn 'pupil' graph, extracting data from graph and re-drawing correctly. Further tasks to gently guide pupils through graphs for science vs graphs for maths (not joining to origin etc).

Couldn’t find much on MAOA for my class so made this to support. Powerpoint and activities will take an hour. Powerpoint has a link to a current 6 min video clip. Hard to know what any possible exam Q would be on as they haven’t written one yet but it’s so cutting edge that it needs secure teaching just in case. Included is a graph to practise conclusions and data manipulations from. Reading starter can be used to elicit ideas on links to other parts of the spec (useful for synoptic paper in Y13)

The whole purpose is to be brave and let them fail if they can’t do it without our constant support! (easier said than done, I know) Lesson plan, powerpoint and differentiated cards (help and support) to assess skills in: • identify variables • Plan an effective strategy/ write method • Construct an effective table (for repeats, mean etc) • Generate effective data Powerpoint has a slide on how our school tracks- this could be used by you to show progression through skills, otherwise deleted or replaced with your own tracking system Will take 2 lessons. First for structured planning, second for prac. Lesson plan discusses use of ‘dabbers’- this is colour coding on books next to each skill so they know if they have achieved it. Green= done independently, Orange= needed help card, Red= bit of a train crash. You can use felt tips.

First few basic slides taken from another contributor. The vast majority was written to prepare Year 9 for the forthcoming maths requirements at KS4. No particular need to understand concepts- just taught as algebra/ puzzles as the focus was on skills not concepts. Took about 2-3 lessons to get through depending on the level of the class.

Investigates the growing evidence that Vaping may be dangerous to health. Introduces lots of AO2/3 ideas such as identifying bias/ how theories are developed/ when a theory becomes a law/identifying data trends/ study design/ validity

An overview of the WS outcomes for the new KS3, divided into 9 'themes' with intended learning for each year group within the theme. Useful for integration into schemes as teachers can reference a WS opportunity by number.

New GCSE requires an understanding of what a scientific model is. Students need to be able to design and evaluate models, and understand their role in society and science. This will take about 2 lessons, has a practical task (lab techs can watch video clip to see how to prepare) and an evaluation task. Will also need access to iPads/ phones/ internet for the starter activity. Lots of the material taken from https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/575-scientific-modelling website.
