This lesson explains what contraception is and the various methods of contraception. By the end of the lesson your young people will understand the effectiveness and be able to explain the advantages and disadvantages of these different methods. This will give them appropriate knowledge to make informed decisions for themselves as they grow up. This lesson is easily and quickly adaptable. It contains SPaG, uncovers and corrects misconceptions, has a true or false activity, gap fill, picture puzzle, carefully selected NHS Video clip, homework and FAQ’s etc Suitable for both KS3 and KS4. Please do not buy my other “contraception” lesson if you buy this one, they are very similar, thank you.

Target setting. Scorecard. Get organised. New Years resolutions. This is a 30+ slide powerpoint navigated lesson that leads students to consider what they want to improve and then gives them a simple but magical tool to do it in the form of a scorecard. Particularly useful for tutor time, or for Target Setting or New Years Resolutions or for any reflection or goal setting. It can be focused on school targets and be used to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and achieving progress. It’s useful to you directly too ! Useful for students and also for teacher’s - I’m much more organised and self disciplined now I use my scorecard ! :-) Could even be used as an active assembly - each student would simply need a scorecard and a pen to participate. Both the Powerpoint and the Excel file are fully editable so you can adapt them if you wish. Happy teaching! Barclayfox.

KS3 Sound and hearing ready to deliver. This lesson covers: Sound and hearing, vibrations, loudness, amplitude, frequency, pitch LisA FisP, sound vs light, speed in a solid and gas, and hearing range. There is nothing to do but give it a quick look through it. you make a change its modular nature makes it very quick and easy to tune it to your exact requirements. No marking for you ! All answers for all activities are included in the PPT to allow peer and/or self-assessment to reduce your workload ! Thank you for your time, and happy teaching! Barclayfox. Students will be able to: Understand that vibrations create sounds. Explain why there is no sound in a vacuum. Explain why the speed of sound is different in a solid compared to a gas. Compare the speed of sound and light in a thunderstorm. Calculate how far away a thunderstorm is Know and use the LisA FisP memory trick. State the range of frequencies of human hearing and compare to some animals. Activities this lesson contains: Unscramble starter puzzle. Demo or video (depending on your groups needs) with Q&A. Literacy activity. Numeracy activity / calculations. Theory - carefully sculpted, lots of learning activities, Quiz with answers. Videos x2 (simply finding good videos can save you 20 minutes). Questions scattered throughout - all answers are provided. Paired work activities / TPS. Simple student self-assessment activity (learners judge their own progress vs LOs).
