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:
Meet your lab - Identify key lab equipment, routines and expectations
Hazards in a Lab and Safety symbols - Recognise hazards and understand the meaning of various hazard symbols
Scientific Apparatus - Match common science equipment to its function, fill in the blanks and test your knowledge
Variables in Experiments - Identify the meaning of control, independent and dependant variables
Planning an Investigation - Structure a fair test and create a step-by-step plan
Recording data and Drawing tables - Organise experimental results in tables
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
