An SEN science lesson about how fossils are formed in sedimentary rocks, from the KS 2 National Curriculum.
Opening activity are some questions about rocks to recap (with prompts), a quick speaking and listening task, some key learning, a BBC bitesize video, and a worksheet activity (fill in the blanks, experiment, story board for fossils being formed)
Using bread, pupils can put a gummy on, add another slice, add a gummy, etc. When pupils press the bread down the way sediment would be compacted, and then lift off the bread, they will see the imprint of their gummy very clearly. This is how a fossil is made.
An SEN Year 7 science lesson from the KS National curriculum about the earth’s structure. Includes 4 recap questions about rocks, some key learning, a bbc bitesize video, and the investigation prompts. Two adapted worksheets with/without visual symbols are included.
Using oreos and oat biscuits (for different rocks) crumbled and crushed into a plastic cup with vegetable oil (plant matter) gummy worms or bears (animal matter) and coco powder, pupils can make their own soil and then eat it if they wish.
A SEN Year 7 lesson matched to the National Curriculum, investigating how long it takes for white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate to melt. Briefly looks at the science behind why one might melt quicker than the other. Worksheet has hypothesis, method, labelling a diagram, filling in a table, and a conclusion. PPT includes a speaking and listening warm up, 2 videos to go along with teaching input.
This is a complete lesson covering rock hardness, permeability, and an acid test. This includes a 5 min speaking and listening activity asking pupils to describe some rocks, a ppt with a quick recap of past learning (alive vs not alive, grains vs crystals, etc), before guiding learning for the lesson. Adult instructions are included for the teacher and / or other class adults, including questions to ask to scaffold and assess learning. A recording sheet for pupils is included, and there is a stretch activity if needed as well.
This lesson was made for year 7 SEN class, however, the learning objective is from the KS2 science curriculum!
An assessment tool for the KS2 science topic, plants. School adults will quickly and easily be able to capture pupil comprehension, adaptations made for the pupil, and to what extent the pupil achieved their learning outcome. One marking grid for each lesson in topic progression.
Helpful resource to quickly show pupil comprehension of learning material in/after a lesson. Easy assessment tool, as school adults will see how much support the pupil needed, which NC objectives were adapted, any notes, and to what extent the learning objective was achieved. One marking grid for each lesson in topic progression.
A quick way to assess pupil comprehension, adapted learning in the lesson, and informative for next steps. Shows what degree objective has been achieved, level of support, if key learning has been met. One marking grid has been made for each lesson in the topic’s progression.
