Answers to each learning checkpoint are included into the slides through animation and timers are used to promote pace. The differentiated question grid activity can be deployed as a competition. The plenary is based on students answering reflective questions in reference to the LO’s.

A full, differentiated lesson based on chromatography. The lesson includes a simple practical where students identify 'who stole my lunch'. The method writing section is differentiated to support low, mid and high ability students making use of literacy and numeracy for students to complete their methods. Additional stretch sheets are included within the analysis questions if students complete all the work ahead of time. The plenary activity encourages students to reflect upon their progress against the learning objectives.

A complete lesson based on the activate 1 SOW and pitched to a year 7 class. The lesson is differentiated with the use of 'stretch' activities and support sheets for more and less able respectively. The differentiated question grid challenge pushes all abilities within the group. A fun whiteboard activity is included relating to hazard symbols. This lesson includes timers to promote pace, and powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during review of answers at each learning checkpoint.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of evaporation and distillation. This lesson is based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Support sheets and stretch activities facilitate the progress of more and less able throughout the lesson. This slide set can work with, or without a demonstration of distillation equipment. Answers to learning checkpoints are incorporated into the slide set via power point animation and the inclusion of timers promotes pace.

A full lesson on ‘filtration’ based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. The lesson includes a simple practical where students separate rocks and salt through filtration. Numeracy based ‘power cards’ are included to better support the less able during the method writing section. A differentiated question grid is included as a follow up activity, this can be used to push both less and more able, or alternatively as a competition between boys and girls. A choice of two plenaries are included. As always, powerpoint timers and animations are included to promote pace and Q/A during the review of answers.

A full AQA physics revision lesson specifically tailored towards the P1 checkpoint (conservation and dissipation of energy). This lesson was used for a low ability group and is based on the foundation P1 test paper. Includes whiteboard activity, think pair and share, work done, GPE and power calculations. Timers are included to promote pace and PowerPoint animations are used to facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.

A full differentiated lesson covering the principles of homoeostasis - this lesson is based upon the AQA (B10.1) scheme of work but could be used for others. Stretch activities and support sheets included to support the learning of high and low abilities. Support sheets are literacy and numeracy based for learning checkpoints 1 and 2 respectively. Timers are included to promote pace, and power point animations facilitate Q/A during the review of each learning checkpoint. Class wide AFL can be conducted through a simple ‘hands up’ to indicate mark. The plenary activity is based on student reflection against the learning objectives.

Complete lesson based on the Activate 2 SOW - includes everything you need.

A complete lesson on the topic of solubility, based upon activate 2 SOW. The lesson includes a simple practical where students assess how temperature effects the solubility of salt within water. Ranked questions and stretch activities support differentiation, support sheets guide students through the practical, timers promote pace and powerpoint animation facilitates Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.

A complete, differentiated lesson for the topic of solutions. Additional green, yellow and red planner cards are needed for one of the AFL activities. The lesson is based on the Activate SOW and planned for a year 8 class. Could be used for other SOW’s and year groups depending on ability. Timers are included to promote pace and the answers for each learning checkpoint are incorporated into the slides through animation. A ‘car race’ plenary is included with preprepared questions and answers.

A complete lesson covering the topic of the cell cycle and mitosis. The lesson is tailored towards OCR-A and includes the content required for AS/A2. Past paper questions used at 2 separate learning checkpoints with the answers incorporated into the slides. PowerPoint animations are included to facilitate questioning during the review of answers and timers are included to promote pace.

A complete lesson on energy dissipation tailored towards the AQA SOW. Covers useful energy, wasted energy and friction with a learning checkpoints based on a past exam question. The ‘spreading out’ (dissipation) of energy is then covered ahead of a simple practical activity where students use pulleys to investigate friction and its effect upon work done. Follow up questions and answers included to facilitate peer or self marking after practical. Originally this lesson was planned fora high ability year 10 group, but has been used with year 9 group with no problems.

A complete lesson for the topic of alternating current, based on AQA P5.1 but can be used for other schemes of work. The lesson is differentiated with stretch activities for more able and support sheets for less able. A practical exercise is included where students use oscilloscopes to investigate a.c. currents. The lesson includes timers to promote pace and power-point animations to facilitate Q/A during the review of each learning checkpoint. Plenary is based on students reflection against the learning objectives.

A complete, differentiated lesson on the halogens. This lesson was prepared for a high ability year 9 group and is very fitting for year 10. Lesson includes timers to promote pace and PowerPoint animations to facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint. Plenary activity is an exciting ‘car race’ quiz with prepared questions included.
