Used with a high ability year 10 class.
- case study sheets (end of ppt) printed out in sets for each table, to allow students to answer the questions on the ppt.
Used this powerpoint with my high ability year 12 class, alongside a number of worksheets (adapted from other TES authors, or using past exam questions).
- Species and Taxonomy
- Calculating diversity
- Molecular techniques to investigate diversity
- For the slides on courtship rituals I added a sound effect (Puppy Love, by Donny Osmond). For this to work on your computer you would need to save this song as an mp3 (using a youtube converter) and add it to the slide.
Resource used for a cover lesson on Space with my high ability year 7 class - could be adapted for different age groups or used as part of an extended project.
Used with a high ability year 9 class.
Practical - skittles in a petri dish, measuring time taken for pigment to reach the centre. Done with tap water, and hot water to investigate factors affecting diffusion.

Series of resources I have used with my form this year during our weekly 30 min tutorial session. Some of these can be carried over several sessions if they generate excellent discussion.
Resource I made to cover a couple of tutorial sessions, as we rejoin after the Christmas break.
We discussed the number of famous people who died in 2016, and how they were influential. I went through two examples of inspirational people (this could be adapted) - Carrie Fisher for her work with mental health issues, and George Michael regarding his charity work and LGBT campaigns.
Pupils then asked to consider who inspires them and to prepare a presentation on this, to deliver to the class/table to convince them of why their icon is the most inspirational (and the effect they have had on them). Class then votes. Good way to get them to consider what makes someone inspirational.
Nice mix of celebrities, characters from novels, campaigners, and family members.
Used with high ability year 10 group - an activity to test comprehension and understanding from previous lesson on Insulin and diabetes.
Could support less able pupils through accompanied use of a textbook.
