Here are information cards for various bodies within the solar system. Also included is a basic PowerPoint explaining the task and an A4 template. Place the information cards around the room and get students to create their own solar system diagrams. They can add varying degrees of information, and you can control the task by adding or removing pieces of information.
I have also added a table that gives values for scaling the solar system, based on shrinking the Earth to 1 metre. This may be useful to explain to students or get them to calculate (higher ability) so that they can appreciate the scale of the solar system.
A 93 slide PowerPoint presentation with worksheets that covers the following areas:
SI Units
SI Derived Units
SI Prefixes
SI Prefix Conversions
Depending on class ability and how tasks are used, this should be 1-2 lessons, or 1.5-2 hours of teaching.
Included are six different worksheets/activities. There is a comprehension task based on when unit measurements goes wrong. There is a worksheet to fill in for collating information based on SI units. There is an optional graphing task that allows students to determine absolute zero. There are two information hunt tasks, with associated information cards, based on SI Derived Units and SI Prefixes. There is also a task on conversion of SI Prefixes.
A differentiated resource for producing a labelled diagram of the digestive system. There are two main versions of this activity, but both of them require the information cards. These can be printed out and placed around the room.
The first version is an all in one A4 sheet that has the diagram and labels that can be cut out and stuck on. This is better suited to lower ability students, they can find out where the parts are by looking at the information around the room.
The second version requires the diagram with no labels. Students have to collect the information from around the room and write it on their diagram. I run this as a memory game, giving students two rules: they can only write on their diagram at their desk, and they cannot move the information sheets.
