Kickstart your Year 7 Science lessons with this complete Working Scientifically Bundle, perfectly aligned with the KS3 Curriculum. Designed to build confident, curious scientists from day one, this 7 lesson set guides students through essential scientific skills - from lab safety, recognising hazard symbols to planning an investigation.
The bundle includes ready-to-use, clear worksheets with engaging tasks and challenges, the worksheets come in a printable document and follows a lesson sequence, which are fully editable allowing you to tailor the content to meet the needs of your students and their learning pace.
Ideal for secondary school teachers, tutors and home educators, who want to save time while ensuring students grasp the fundamentals of experimental science.

What’s Included:

1. Meet your lab - Identify key lab equipment, routines and expectations
2. Hazards in a Lab and Safety symbols - Recognise hazards and understand the meaning of various hazard symbols
3. Scientific Apparatus - Match common science equipment to its function, fill in the blanks and test your knowledge
4. Variables in Experiments - Identify the meaning of control, independent and dependant variables
5. Planning an Investigation - Structure a fair test and create a step-by-step plan
6. Recording data and Drawing tables - Organise experimental results in tables
7. Drawing graphs - Learn important definitions, how to draw a graph and plot accurately with correct labels

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

• Identify lab safety rules and interpret hazard symbols
• Recognise and correctly name scientific apparatus
• Define and identify different types of variables
• Plan and describe simple scientific investigations
• Record data in well-structured tables
• Draw accurate graphs to present experimental results

Perfect for:

• Used alongside KS3 Biology lessons (saves planning time)
• Revision sessions or Homework
• Cover lessons (where minimal setup is required)
• SEN and EAL support (interactive, visuals, keywords, brief summary of the topic)
• Tutors
• Home Educators

Teacher Tips:

• Starter idea: Use the ‘Hazards and Symbols’ sheet as a timed matching game to reinforce safety
• Practical link: Combine the ‘Variables’ lesson with a mini investigation to put theory into practice
• Differentiation: Every worksheet can be differentiated to meet the needs of students e.g. offer ‘Recording data’ sheet as a scaffolded template for students who need extra support
• Assessment: The quick questions included on most worksheets can be used as formal assessment to check students understanding, it can also be a means of peer marking to encourage discussion
