Marvellous Measurements!!

Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Primary Physics, Primary Chemistry, Primary Biology, Age 11-14

A skills based lesson about common measurements and units used in science. Read the lesson plan (FREE) to guide you through the various challenges that the pupils are set. Apologies if any of the font size looks odd (I use the Grilled Cheese font and it is converted by Teachable into something ordinary and far less funky). This is a really fun lesson, and VERY busy!

YEAR 7 Design for Learning Learning Session: You’re the Scientist – Session 7   Title: Marvellous Measurements!  Content Objectives This learning session is designed to guide learners to: Skill Objectives This learning session is designed to stretch students capacity to:  State the units used in Science for different types of common measurements Recognise apparatus used to take different measurements Appreciate that some apparatus is more accurate than others Select and use appropriate apparatus to record different measurements  Be competitive Solve problems   Required Outcomes to Evidence Learning   What will students produce by the end of the lesson? How will they be assessed?   Starter Open the ‘Marvellous Measurements’ PowerPoint and use the wordsearch as a starter. The answers are on the next slide. ‘Which is bigger?’ – Use this slide to see how they are with common units of measurement, and hand out
