KS3 Science Investigations
In this series of lessons, we will learn how to conduct scientific investigations using the scientific process. Once the series of lessons is complete, there are suggestions for additional independent investigations for even more fun!
Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner Level
Following the UK national curriculum for Science, we will focus on our experimental skills and Scientific investigations. Students can choose from a given selection of listed experiments to complete during the last lesson- choices include: making the biggest crystals; mixtures mix up; rusty nails; shark attack!; chocolate rocks; paper helicopters; frogs spawn slime; making ice cream; invisible inks. Classes will be frequently run throughout the year so I would suggest waiting for the next...
Students will work to plan and carry out a scientific investigation, using age appropriate skills to come up with a valid conclusion and improvements for their chosen experiment.
Since 2016, I have trained as a Secondary Science teacher in the UK, gained qualified teacher status and have been working in various secondary schools around Cambridgeshire, teaching English as an additional language in Science and SEN students throughout my teaching career.

It is expected that students will be adequately supervised during any experimental work they complete either during or after the lesson. We will be using various quizzes and online resources throughout the lessons, the use of these resources is for either on-screen sharing or student self-assessment, so no gamer tags need to be submitted (please see materials for more information on these resources).
There is a planning worksheet that we will be following during the lesson and links to other experiments may be suggested.
