Lesson 1 includes a powerpoint to follow with notes attached giving contextual information. It also comes with a worksheet for lower ability students to follow. Some printing will be required prior to the lesson as students are required to show pictures of food (26 pics are included) and state what food group they're in and later which are the best examples of certain nutrients. Lesson 2 follows a similar plan of powerpoint with teacher notes and worksheet. This lesson is primarily about calories and finishes with a drawing task where students have to draw a previous meal (drawing framework included) and then work out the calorific content. This makes a great display and also allows students to work out what exercise they would need to do to 'burn off' their meal. Lesson 3 is again powerpoint based and deals with food imbalance. This can be a sensitive topic and so should be dealt with carefully. This needs some preparation in terms of bringing some flipchart paper for groupwork and some highlighters. There are a number of articles included about anorexia, obesity and malnutrition that students should highlight. Each one has a colour coded title to allow you to give it to the correct student. It's a traffic light system with Red being the hardest documents to read for the more able student and green the easiest. I have included the food imbalance video which is on the powerpoint separately just in case there are any issues with uploading. Finally, there is a 25 mark GCSE style exam. Any and all feedback, positive or negative, is appreciated.

Question sheets 1-7 are best printed out on A3. I always kept a few of these in my classroom as extension tasks or homework. They are designed to encourage students to plan an answer before writing. Q1: Other subjects relevance to PE Q2: Qualities of a successful first aider Q3: Funding an athlete Q4: Unsuitable sponsorship Q5: Effects of fatigue Q6: How exercise affects the c/v system Q7: How correct technique prevents injury Quiz, quiz, trade is a starter and plenary activity where every student has a slip of paper with a questions and its answer on it. They go around the room and ask someone their question. Once they have answered it, the correct answer is given. Then they swap roles. Once the second question has been answered, they trade questions and find someone new. This can continue as long as you wish but allows for lots of people to ask and be asked questions. The plenary at the end is simply the teacher asking the questions again. Everyone should be able to provide an answer! I like to have the class all stand up, they can sit down when they've answered a question correctly. The revision loop is a series of answers with an unrelated question on the bottom. Each student gets one of these slips and has to use their answer to answer someone else's question. Next, two Tarsia jigsaw puzzles. Simply cut out and muddle up and then re-arrange. Lots of ambiguity to promote discussion and problem solving. Finally, a 17 question, exam style test on topics directly linked to Lucy. These come from past papers from 2010-12 and so are due to be dusted down for this exam! All q's are 2-8 marks and the test is out of 64. This bundle will save hours of prep. and can be used repeatedly as part of your revision. Any feedback, positive or negative, please let me know.

This is a lesson that I did with GCSE PE students in year 9 for a job interview. It was very well received and enabled me to get to the interview stage. Unfortunately, I blew the interview! This lesson is differentiated with students expected to share the information they have so that everyone has the same outcomes. The lesson starts with a "Do Now," task looking at five females and pondering which one is fittest. Obviously it depends on the context, following the lesson they should realise that it depends on which component we are using to decide. This is something to be returned to at the end of the lesson. The powerpoint takes us through the components of fitness and any gaps in knowledge are expected to be discussed and notes made on the worksheet. You'll notice that each sheet has different photographs on it. This is to broaden the horizons of our students so that when they think of an event that requires C/V endurance they have a number of examples. As students work through the powerpoint, completing their worksheet, they will eventually reach the questions in the middle of the sheet. Each sheet has a different set of questions with the first being an easy question, the second, more challenging and the third is the most difficult. Students are encouraged to discuss their questions with their peers, this way, they can't copy answers from others but actually end up answering more questions as they assist one another. We return to the "Do Now." Have opinions changed based upon our new knowledge? It is then revealed that they are all international level athletes in the following sports: 1. High jump. 2. Weight Lifting 3. Rhythmic Gymnastics 4. Marathon 5. Heptathlon Each one of them is very fit depending on which fitness component we are looking at. Students are then given a post-it note on which they must write down their name and which component would be most important for each athlete on the board. Any feedback, positive or negative is greatly appreciated. Should I have a specific, mixed ability class I would consider moving some of the questions around so that students get a sheet specific to their ability.

This is a great way to revise and my students have always got a great deal of value from it. The powerpoint goes through the rules and scoring system but, for those unfamiliar with golf, it may need a little more explanation. Basically, each hole/question has a par value attached to it (3-5). This how many answers are needed to score par. If they answer too few, this would be represented by a score over par (+) and if they answer over the par score it's represented by a score under par (-). As in golf, the lowest score wins. Example: Hole 1, par 4. How many football teams have won the Premier League? Giving 3 correct answers would score +1 Giving 4 correct answers would score par, 0 Giving 5 answers would score -1 This comes with a teacher's answer sheet to assist with arguments at the end of the game! I have done this in teams, pairs and individually and it works so well. Hope you enjoy. Any feedback, positive or negative is greatly appreciated.

This is a power point presentation with an attached worksheet. I created it for a couple of reasons: The first being that going through all the information would reinforce learning and also to fill in any gaps in understanding. The second was to allow everyone to have a good set of notes to use as a revision aid, hence the worksheet. My intention was to fly through the presentation, adding contextual information and answering any questions that are raised. This worked well as it limited opportunities for students to fall behind as it was such a fast pace, you couldn't afford to have a chat or day-dream. The presentation is littered with questions for students to answer periodically in order to express their understanding. This whole revision unit can take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours to complete. Elements can be given as homework if required with the power point made available to students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or negative.

It's called the Christmas quiz just because I used it at Christmas with my GCSE class this year. It can be used at any time. The quiz starts with some multiple choice questions related to the GCSE course before getting into some random and often ridiculous questions that are supposed to be for a bit of fun (but often resulted in arguments between teams when completed)! Feedback, good or bad is appreciated.

This is an ideal activity for form time or even as a lesson starter to come back to over the year with difficult (boys) groups. The Premier League Quiz has approx 50 questions and match-up activities all in rounds of 10 marks to help you keep tabs on scores. You could even do the quiz over a number of days/weeks as there are 6 separate rounds on topics like 'Last Season', and 'Premier league Legends.' All the question slides are visually stimulating with either photographs or information boxes to add context and interest. As an ongoing activity I have included a Premier League prediction sheet that, in conjunction with the powerpoint presentation will allow students to predict what happens in the next season. These sheets can be re-visited periodically to see how accurate they were. A prize could even be awarded for the most accurate. There is also a number of team selector sheets where students can create their own Premier League team. I have included three different formations and left one blank in case they want to create their own formation. Any and all feedback gratefully received. Any questions, please let me know.

The presentation is littered with questions for students to answer periodically in order to express their understanding. All questions refer to the pre-release of the AQA exam in 2014 where a local PE teacher was trying to encourage students to take up netball. She was also a player at the local netball club, Westshore. With a little explanation this shouldn't be a problem. This whole revision unit can take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours to complete. Elements can be given as homework if required with the power point made available to students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or negative.

This years pre-release material for the 2017 AQA GCSE PE exam is about a year 10 student called James. I'm providing 11 questions on a sheet ready for immediate use as a test or exam. Each answer is worth between 2 and 8 marks. Each answer requires a structured, written answer. Depending on the ability of the students, the test should last about 55 minutes. For those who finish early, they can mark each others papers with the comprehensive Mark Scheme provided. Both exam and mark scheme can be retained for future revision work.

This is a complete lesson that needs no preparation other than printing the two activity sheets above for some of your students to use. I used this lesson as a recap for my GCSE PE class after they returned from half term holidays thinking they'd struggle to remember the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. I was right, but this lesson lulled them into remembering and applying their notes in a fun and enjoyable way. I was genuinely surprised by how well the lesson went and how much they learned. Lesson starter is a crossword with all the key terms of the lesson. There are two corsswords, one with a word bank of correct answers and one without to aid differentiation. The power point contains a youtube link to an old Merrie Melodies cartoon of the fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. It's 8 and a half minutes long and makes for an interesting start to the lesson. My students were surprisingly attentive throughout! We then had a debate about how we can link this story to demonstrate respiration and it's effects. Once students start to see the link we can begin with the main activity. Students have to retell the story but using some specific terms that relate to respiration. This task is differentiated in three ways. For the more able students they should write their story in continuous prose. For intermediate students there is the attached short version of the story to remind them or to stick in their book. For low ability students there is a comic strip for them to annotate or add dialogue. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.

This is a game that I used as a starter in every lesson with my GCSE PE group. It's a simple, fun way of getting little snippets of info. into their heads. Give each student at least one slip of paper, more able students can have 2 or more. Each slip has a blue answer, followed by a red question. Every answer corresponds to someone else's question. Whoever has the "Start," begins by asking their question, whoever has the corresponding answer, states it and then reads out their question. This continues until you get to the finish. If someone doesn't know they have the answer, get everyone left in the game to read out their answer until the correct one is announced. You can then ask that person the question at the end of the lesson to see if they have retained their knowledge. My kids loved it and after a couple of weeks it was taking them 2 minutes to complete instead of 10.
