kinestetic activity to help understand how sedimentry rocks form. Can also be used for app evaluation strand when completing the levelled evaluation sheet. the making needs to be done before the evaluation can be done.

Full lesson for evlauating and justifying why recycling is important. The starter links to the ideas of mining and extracting metals from ores. It is an A and B lesson but you easily adapt. The ideas were to show lots of progress in the lesson and this is why the exam question is given before the main activity. I printed out a website with possitive points and negative points. This formed the basis of the main task. Im sorry I dont have it electronically so its not been linked. \n\nThis was done for an observation with B/C graded kids and got an outstanding for progress!

A lesson based on how to use research and form hypothesis for the unit 2 btec applied science project. could be used for other types of research too. The only additional resource needed are some printouts of websites that can be used for planning an experiment. I have added the follow on list of stuff that we used to check off what was required for the write up in the next lesson - it may be useful to adapt to fit the assignment written in your school

students made cells (specialised or basic) out of materials such as jelly, plastacene, paint, plastic cups, pain ect.. they then were asked to evaluate them with the help of the levelled scaffold. A photo of their cell was taken and printed to put in their books with the evlauation. its for a lower level class where literacy and vocabulary is an issue. it can also be used as an app assesment in a modeling contex

A basic sheet that can be photocopied and stick in the front of books for the words the student often mispelled when you mark books. Get the student to refer back to the list and use it as a personailsed spelling dictionary to help them corect their spelling.

A set of tasks that can be placed in a pot for students to pick from when finishing before others. They are all generic secondary tasks which can be laminated and placed in a pot ( mine are in a colourfully decorated old baby milk tin). My students are now in the routine of collecting one as and when they are finished the main learning task. I have tried to make them challenging and engaging to stretch students.

This is a 6 page power point with each slide being a mat that can be printed or shown in lessons to sum up the learning. You will need a dice per group/pair. 6 tasks on each slide. slide one - summary/knowledge tasks slide two -number tasks based on consolidating the learning Slide 3 - drawing tasks slide 4 - writing tasks slide 5 - creating a learning task for the lesson slide 6 - helping others task

a complete lesson on a power point. video clip from you tube to answer questions from and then students model the process in modelling clay on a sheet. an exam question to finish which can be peer assessed or self assessed. very straightforward. students could be given the choice to draw or make the pictures.

A lesson based around the higher teir on the Le Blanc Process and chlorine production. More based around evaluating the process and envrionmental impact. Full lesson plans and resources are there. Was intended for a double lesson but could be split into two

a lesson based on how microbes are transfered. The lesson is based around Semmelweiss and what he discovered. you will need the glow bug powder and a uv light. make sure you sprinkle it on worksheets first to show how its transmitted. it shows what surfaces it gets on to and how one person not washing their hands has a big effect. you can also use the gel to demonstrate how well hand washing needs to be done to remove any traces of microbes.

an hour lesson on types of radiation, properties and introduction to uses - more about applying what they have learnt to situations. you will need to find a quiz off here for the types but there are lots to choose from. The summary sheet was a table off the board with column headings: particle type, stucture, penetration power, ionisation power.

A full lesson with plan on the big bang, what it is and the evidence behind it. All the resources are there - some have been taken from here and adapted to create a full hours lesson. I used the collins set of textbook for the market place style activity. The questions for quick on the draw were 1-8 from the poster question sheet

An independent learning lesson on the Doppler effect, what it is and how it relates to sound. the power point contains the basic lesson and links to YouTube for the big bang theory and a little explanation clip. I printed out the information cards and placed them around the room for students to collect the information from. The students then were responsible for their learning and collecting the information from around the room.

a set of slides that can be added into your own lessons to aid differentiation in lessons The six updated areas have six tasks attached to them. These slides can be slightly adapted in a minimal amount of time to fit to the lesson. A few require a little forward planning but nothing more than a quick five minutes.

a set of generic ideas to get engagement from your class. some do require a lot of planning and some require very little. There is a template with some of the scaffolds to help with differentiation and time saving.

Complete unit 1 - atomic structure for AQA but could be used for other exam boards. Based on the flipped learning approach - the students do the learning before the lesson and then perform consolidation in the lesson along with exam style questions to assess progress. Includes the lesson plan for each lesson, links and video links, suggested activities for before and during the lesson and then exam style questions for each lesson. Suitable for y1 A level or the AS course. There is no prescribed practical as there is none in unit 1. There are textbook references to advanced chemistry for you with questions given from the textbook that fit with the lesson subject.
