Resource designed to use when delivering the Pearsons international BTEC Applied Science Level 3: Unit 5: Principles and Applications of Biology II Learning aim B: Understand the effects of physiological diseases and disorders and associated treatments Includes a writing frame which mirrors the content in the slides for the learner’s convenience. Physiological disease / disorder used: Cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Included is a html file which holds the code for a sound meter, functionality can be seen in the video linked here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLkyPn4nN5YfDTMdSgeRcWarPW5WGzxE/view?usp=sharing Are you still using a timer or stopwatch to help with behaviour management? Why not automate the entire process instead? Functions: Measures the loudness of audio from your device and registers the loudness according to: silent, quiet, talking and shouting. The meter will continue measuring even if the programme is minimised. A quietness meter can be toggled on/off to display score of the quietness visually. Scales of the quietness bar can be customised to suit classes. The values of duration at each loudness level can be reset if needed and recording of audio can be paused. Sensitivity of the meter can be changed as needed, reference values for each category is displayed. Seating arrangement below can be quickly setup by dragging and dropping the shapes above into the grid. Fixing the tables in the grid allows for pupils (represented by circles in each table) to be clicked and cycle through colours: green, amber and red. Colours can be used to highlight where key individuals are present in the class. Tables and colours can be reset as needed. The audio is not stored, only the loudness is measured and reported into the table for the duration. The programme is not able to store any audio files for later use.

This comprehensive tracker can be used for any subject to track your end of topic tests. Includes a video to guide you through using the tracker. Video trailer of what to expect: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mz_coyi7UNkUYG6mNeHRsruENZtdyROr/view?usp=sharing The tracker contains formulas to automatically: -Find the % score in a test. -Lookup grade boundaries to provide instant grading when a raw mark is entered. -Update all areas where names of classes / units will appear so they only need to be entered once. -Provide a graphical representation of the distribution of scores for each test for each class. -Highlight the average score / grade earned and highlight which scores students would need to be in the upper / lower quartile. -Highlight the 3 top / bottom performing students with their score. -Calculate the residual earned by each class. The tracker can also produce individual report cards for students - all you have to do is type in their name in the highlighted box and the formulas will do all of the rest for you. This includes a breakdown of each score across each term and a graphical breakdown to go alongside. The tracker is designed to be used in google sheets, once purchased you will receive a link to a copy of the tracker - in which you can make a copy by: Clicking file in the top left corner, Click make a copy - you can put this then into your own google drive. Alternatively you can download the tracker as an excel document, however, some of the features do not transfer perfectly.

Tired of copying and pasting the same information for each piece of BTEC documentation? The BTEC documentation generator helps reduce this task to a 2 minute job. Import your BTEC assessment plan as per the normal BTEC layout and populate the fields as directed. Obtain electronic signatures from each person mentioned in the plan (make sure to get their express permission before doing this). That’s it, you can then open the master copy for either assessment record sheets, internal verification documents or resubmissions and 90% of the work has been done for you, all you have to do is the part that matters, the grading. The document given has a science plan attached for reference, replace this with your chosen plan and the mail merge will do the rest of the work. This will work for any BTEC course.

Aimed towards KS3 (Yrs 11-14), a fun animated lesson explaining the Seasons. Slide by slide animations shows clearly why the Earth experiences Summer and Winter. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify what causes summer and winter. Describe how the Sun radiates light. Explain the link between the tilting of the Earth and the seasons.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the most reactive and least reactive metals. Describe what occurs during a displacement reaction. Explain why jewellery and precious metals do not spoil easily.
