 * Welcome to DCS KS3 Science**

__For students__ Here you will find lessons, activities, homework and helpful links to help you learn science at KS3.

This site is open and membership is not required to access the resources. If you have comments or suggestions please add them to the appropriate page or send me a message. I'm always looking to expand on the resources and activity ideas. Membership is restricted to contributors, but all are welcome to use the site.

__For teachers__ The philosophy behind the website is to externalise resources and individualise learning; to enable pupils to learn at different paces. I often ask certain students to take a different path through the lessons. Homework resources are very much a fall-back, not necessarily the first choice. It is not meant for prescriptive teaching, though I find it useful to help support cover lessons. Pick and choose activities to suit your class, supplement with ad hoc demonstrations, labs and written work as needed. This is very much the approach I take.

All I ask in return is that you reference the wikispace if you choose to use a resource (feel free to edit to suit yourself) and more importantly please share back if you have something that works well.

__For all__ Membership is not needed to access the resources published. This wikispace is a work in progress and as such not all the KS3 topics have active pages yet.
