ITEM 1: Assembly PowerPoint to promote the GCSE course to year 8/9 students
PowerPoint presentation for a brief overview of the course and student suitability for GCSE 9-1 Edexcel Psychology. This PowerPoint could be used for a year 8 or 9 assembly, or could be used at the beginning of a GCSE Psychology taster session.

ITEM 2: Taster session PowerPoint used in conjunction with a “brain hat” activity (brain hat worksheet not included as this is not mine - but easily found online for free)

This is a PowerPoint to support a “taster” session with year 8 or 9 students, before they choose to study Psychology at GCSE level. This PowerPoint is suitable for the Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Psychology specification. The PowerPoint encourages students to define Psychology themselves, discusses a definition of Psychology, briefly overviews the course topics and structure and then supports students to engage with a brain hat creation activity.

*Please note that the 3D brain hat worksheet is not included in this resource, as this is not my work - but it is readily available for free online from a quick search. *

Please note that an extension activity directs students to use the Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Psychology textbook - this can easily be removed if you do not have the textbooks accessible for students.

ITEM 3: Subject overview leaflets to hand out during options evenings, taster sessions or assemblies
