Lesson plan
Recap and recall
Arrange the class into groups of four and number the pupils in each group from one to four. Provide each group with the Resource: Knowledge organiser: Science – Mixtures and separation (one per group) and the Resource: Knowledge organiser: Science – Properties and changes (one per group). Explain the rules of the game: Ask pupil one to sit facing…

Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support:
Should use the Knowledge organiser: Science – Mixtures and separation and theKnowledge organiser: Science – Properties and changes to help them with the Recap and recall activity; could test and conclude for reflection of light only.
Pupils working at greater depth:
Should identify other properties to test (for example, floating/sinking or flexibility) and devise a way to test these; could draw the circuit diagram used to test conductivity; could choose an extension activity relating to space blankets or the enquiry cycle from the Resource: Stretch and challenge: How reflective are space blankets.
