30 task cards at 3 ability levels for calculating the volume of 3D prisms. Since January 2015, I’ve been teaching mathematics in addition to science. An experienced maths teacher observed me using these task cards with a class and she said that she thought the students loved using these cards. She said the students could work at their own level and focus on one task at a time. The first 10 focus on cuboids. The next 10 are triangular prisms and cylinders (using radius). The final 10 are cylind

Two lessons from my full scheme of work on electric circuits. The first teaches circuit diagrams and the second explores the use of ammeters to measure electric current.

It is essential to cover safety at the start of the school year with any group that will be working in the science lab. I don’t know about you, but even I get bored of the standard safety talk (so how do you think the kids feel?)! Mix things up a little with these 16 task cards. Each describes a different situation and the students must decide what they would do. There are no answers included as these will depend on your own classroom rules and school policies. The students might surprise you an

Three lessons from my full scheme of work on electric circuits. The first explorers the discovery of electricity, the second is a project for building light-up Christmas cards and the third is an investigation into different wires. Update 3rd December 2013: I’ve added some information cards about Galvani and Volta. I’ve also given some sentences starters and a line guide to help students write a newspaper report about the two scientists. Looking for the full scheme of work? Find it here: www.t

A series of 13 hour-long lessons on electric circuits aimed at year 6 / 7 in the UK - but all material is fully editable so you can adapt it to your needs. Two friendly electricians introduce your class to key concepts in circuits so that ultimately your pupils build their own Christmas lights! The download features: A Word document explaining what to do in each lesson along with the resources you need to have ready. PowerPoint files for every lesson with the objectives and outcomes clearly st

A lesson that I've used to check pupil's prior knowledge of electric circuits. This is the first lesson in a series that I have also uploaded to TpT.

Two lessons from my full scheme of work on electric circuits. The first teaches fixing faults in circuits and the second explores the use of switches in series and parallel circuits.
