Scheme of Work: SCIENCE KS3

Teaching Key Stage 3 in two years

If you are using the Collins KS3 Science scheme to deliver the Programme of Study in two years there are three ways you can do it:

1. Focus on the lessons shaded in the table. By so doing you will have visited all the key ideas.
2. Use the shaded lessons as a starting point but draw on ideas, activities and questions as necessary, i.e., ‘swapping out’ the occasional
activity on an indicated lesson. For the two year scheme important parts that occur in the sections not highlighted have been included in
bold in the Learning Objectives of highlighted lessons. It also indicates where the teaching can be reduced in scope.
3. Use the introductory lesson and/or the ‘Applying key ideas’ lesson to see what students are more confident with and what time would be
better spent on.

Year 8
The Teacher pack has all of the resources used in this SOW: It is split into 3 sections. As we have less teaching time available you
may need to focus on the shaded lessons only. Book 2 is for teaching Year 8.

The numbers in the first column Lesson refers to where to find the resources in the Teachers Pack: e.g.

1.1.3 - 1 Folder 1

1.1.3 - 1 Cells – the building Blocks of Life

1.1.3 - Comparing plant and animal cells
