Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Should use the Resource: Knowledge organiser: Science – Unbalanced forces to help them answer the Recap and recall questions and write their conclusion; should use the Knowledge organiser – Mixtures and separation to help them answer the Attention grabber questions; could view the completed model data line graph on slide 10 of the Presentation: Investigation: How does the size of an asteroid affect the size of its impact crater? to help them label their axes and add a scale.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should use their line graph to estimate what size crater an asteroid of 20 g or 40 g would create; should extrapolate their line of best fit to predict what size crater an asteroid of 60 g would create.
