This is a comprehensive 50-minute lesson plan designed to help GCSE students understand the significance of goal setting and equip them with the tools to create short-term, medium-term, and long-term objectives. This engaging lesson includes the following key components:
Teacher’s notes: with the lesson plan to follow.
Power point presentation to show in the lesson: fully editable
Worksheet: printable version. Editable version inlcuded in the slides.
This resource equips educators with a structured and interactive lesson plan to inspire goal-setting skills in students, enabling them to take charge of their academic and personal lives for greater success.
This is a resource I created for my year 9s so that I can guide them during a couple of lessons through the creation of a mind map to collect the most important information to understand how the rates of reaction are affected by different variables.
This resource includes:
the power point that slowly creates the mind map,
the full mind map in the last slides
two printable versions (complete and with blanks for them to fill the gaps)
Booklet that combines the most important skills required for AS Biology students. Three crucial areas included:
Serial and simple dilutions
Graphs practice
The theory behind the practicals
You will find a compilation of activities for students to fill that also includes some math skills and planning investigations so that they have in this booklet everything they need for their official exams (except plan diagrams).
I use this booklet in combination with the “Dilutions for AS Biology” power point so that I can explain the method before they complete the activities.
This power point offers the most important bits to deliver the lessons in unit 7H Materials from the Earth in Exploring Science Coursebook. It could be used for revision of the properties of rocks and weathering.
I hope it helps.
A bunch of slides with class rules, safety rules in the lab, lab equipment, hazard labels…to be used for the first lesson with your students. Adapt it to your needs or your subject.
