Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Should use the Resource: Knowledge organiser: Science – Unbalanced forces to help them answer the Recap and recall questions; should use the Resource: Knowledge organiser: Science – Mixtures and separation to help them describe the properties of their model asteroids; could view the method on slides 6-7 of the Presentation: Investigation: How does the size of an asteroid affect the size of its impact crater? to help them with making their social media video.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should circulate to all the groups helping them to identify anomalous data; should answer the question: what problems might there be with mining asteroids in space? (e.g. expensive, how to create enough energy for the mining machines, how to get the materials back to Earth and how to land on something as small as an asteroid).
