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 series of lessons to complete the whole course from the beginning. 
An overview of what will be taught is as follows: 
•	Lesson 1- Predicting, errors and writing a good method
•	Lesson 2- Risk assessment and scientific variables
•	Lesson 3- Graphs 
•	Lesson 4- Interpreting data and conclusions/ improvements
•	Lesson 5- Planning and carrying out our practical of choice

Lessons are fairly structured and will have a mixture of individual tasks, group activities for collaborative learning by following a PowerPoint and working through a planning worksheet (lesson 5). We often use quizzes, interactive whiteboards and games to consolidate knowledge. It is useful for students to have a general knowledge of science but not entirely necessary as I can adapt lessons as we go along for the group!
