This is a ‘True or False’ revision lesson for Y5 science Earth and Space. It is differentiated by outcome so students can work through as many as they can. Students highlight true statements green. highlight false statements in pink. They then have to correct the false statements, explaining how they know they’re not true or correcting the information. My students found this incredibly useful coming to the end of their Earth and Space topic. They were allowed to work in small mixed ability groups and it addressed a lot of misconceptions. Before allowing the children to ‘correct’ false statements, I suggest talking through whether the statements are true or false. Some of them are deliberately very challenging and the students need to look carefully at the wording of the statement. A tricky problem solving lesson that all the children enjoy and are actively engaged in.

This is an Earth and Space y5 science topic revision lesson. It recaps all the most important pieces of information for the topic. Students in my class round this incredibly useful before sitting their end of topic assessment. I suggest printing it A3 and glueing into science books.

Learning objective and success criteria grids for each lesson/element of Forces topic in year 5. Glue in books to speed up marking or just use for your planning. These grids were created in accordance with NC and include all necessary teaching points. They allow for differentiation and allow a whole department to teach parallel and consistently with one another. I like to highlight uncompleted tasks in highlighter to let the student know they’ve not achieved that element. Then my response marking question relates directly to that success criteria point. Students are fully aware of Success Criteria and the objective for that lesson which is a fantastic OFSTED point. I use these grids for science and humanities topics. They are my medium term planning as well as something the children glue in every lesson before we start out lesson. No titles needed.
