Author/s: Vincent Scholier, Joanna Haywood, Helen Harden, Michael Strachan, Ian Lodge, Paul Roobottom, Helen Roobottom, Richard Harwood

This digital teacher’s resource is designed to help teachers use the series in the most effective way, bridging the gap between teaching theory and practice.

It helps teachers support their learners, plan great lessons and teach to the syllabus.

The resource also contains professional development to help explain key ideas and approaches, such as active learning, assessment for learning, metacognition, differentiation, cross-curricular learning and project work, questioning and feedback techniques, language awareness, skills for life, and to help teachers incorporate these techniques into their teaching and reflect on the outcomes.

This resource was tested in the classroom and contains activities authored by teachers and comments from teachers on their application with their learners. It also includes additional time-saving downloadable, editable tests and worksheets and a new guide to and sample data for all the practical activities in the practical workbook.

The resource also provides a variety of active lesson ideas with timings.

For each topic there are lesson ideas, starters and plenary ideas, reflection tips, and differentiation support. Activity ideas provide extra content and suggestions for hinge questions to support assessment for learning.

Features:

• Now including a new guide to and sample data for all the practical activities in the practical workbook

• The practical teacher’s guide includes step by step instruction, differentiation advice, lists of equipment, safety considerations, advice on collection of data, presentation, analysis, drawing conclusions, and evaluation, and sample data for when a practical cannot be carried out

• Includes professional development guidance for key teaching approaches: active learning, assessment for learning, metacognition, differentiation, cross-curricular learning and project work, questioning and feedback techniques, language awareness, skills for life, with challenges for teachers to use in their teaching in the context of the syllabus/scientific topics and reflect upon

• This resource has been tested in the classroom and contains activities authored by teachers, and comments from teachers on how they would use these activities in their classrooms, with their learners

• For each topic there are lesson ideas, plenary and reflection tips, and differentiation support. Activity ideas provide extra content and suggestions for hinge questions to support assessment for learning

• Includes guidance on how to use the series and support with teaching strategies. Teaching notes include background knowledge, ideas for lesson starters, main activities and plenaries

• A topic teaching plan at the beginning of each chapter summarises the number of lessons each topic will take and provides time-saving links to specific support in other resources. Suggested timings for each activity help teachers plan their lessons
