This fully editable lesson explores the impact of disrupting biological rhythms, focusing on the effects of shift work and jet lag. Designed using the OxfordAQA International A-level Psychology (9685) specification, this lesson helps students understand how modern lifestyle factors can desynchronise circadian rhythms and the potential health consequences. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The lesson covers how biological rhythms are disrupted by factors such as shift work and jet lag. Students will learn about the role of endogenous pacemakers (internal body clocks) and exogenous zeitgebers (external cues such as light) in regulating circadian rhythms. Key studies, including Davis et al. (2001) on shift work and Cho et al. (2000) on jet lag, are discussed, providing insights into the effects of misaligned biological rhythms on health, performance, and well-being. Interactive Activities: Engages students with a “Do Now” activity that prompts them to reflect on the consequences of disrupted sleep schedules. Throughout the lesson, Think-Pair-Share discussions encourage students to consider real-world scenarios, such as the experiences of night-shift workers and frequent travellers. Case studies like “Sam the Policewoman” provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge of pacemakers and zeitgebers to practical examples, fostering critical thinking. Assessment Materials: Includes exam-style questions with model answers to assess students’ understanding of the effects of shift work and jet lag. Students will evaluate research, discuss strategies for minimising the negative impacts (such as forward shift rotation and light management), and critically engage with the evidence, helping them develop the analytical skills required for psychology exams.

This fully editable lesson focuses on the different stages and characteristics of sleep, including both non-REM (NREM) and REM sleep. Designed using the OxfordAQA International A-level Psychology (9685) specification, this lesson explores the nature of sleep, the biological rhythms that regulate it, and key research findings. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The lesson covers the different stages of sleep, from light NREM sleep to deep slow-wave sleep and REM sleep. Students will learn how each stage is characterised by unique brainwave patterns and physiological changes, with a focus on EEG readings. Key studies, including the work of Aserinsky and Kleitman (1953), are highlighted, providing insight into how sleep cycles operate as ultradian rhythms. The lesson also addresses the role of circadian rhythms and neurotransmitters in sleep regulation. Interactive Activities: Students engage in a “Do Now” activity that prompts them to consider how sleep deprivation affects their body. The lesson includes a detailed summary activity where students complete a chart outlining the stages of NREM and REM sleep. Additionally, the lesson incorporates a quiz using ABCD cards to assess understanding, allowing for instant feedback and class discussion on the key differences between the stages of sleep. Assessment Materials: Includes exam-style questions with model answers that assess understanding of NREM and REM sleep. Questions prompt students to explain differences between sleep stages, interpret EEG data, and identify key features of REM sleep such as muscle paralysis and vivid dreaming. This encourages critical thinking and exam readiness.

This fully editable lesson covers key sleep disorders, including insomnia and narcolepsy, exploring their symptoms, causes, and treatments. Designed using the OxfordAQA International A-level Psychology (9685) specification, this lesson provides an in-depth understanding of sleep disorders, with real-world applications and case studies. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The lesson covers major sleep disorders such as insomnia and narcolepsy, detailing their symptoms, underlying causes (e.g., neurotransmitters like orexin in narcolepsy), and various treatment options (e.g., CBT for insomnia, stimulant medications for narcolepsy). The slides also include relevant research, such as Gregory et al. (2006) on the role of circadian rhythms in insomnia, providing insights into the biological and psychological aspects of these disorders. Interactive Activities: Engages students through a multiple-choice quiz (MCQ) where they can hold up A, B, C, or D cards to answer questions related to sleep disorders, such as identifying symptoms of narcolepsy or treatments for insomnia. The quiz serves as a quick assessment tool, allowing students to consolidate their understanding of key concepts. The lesson also includes case studies, such as Imran’s experience with insomnia, which encourages students to apply their knowledge by explaining real-life scenarios using psychological theory. Assessment Materials: Includes exam-style questions with model answers to assess students’ ability to describe and evaluate research into sleep disorders. Questions cover key areas such as symptoms of insomnia, genetic and personality factors in insomnia, and evaluating research on narcolepsy, helping students prepare for exam-level analysis and evaluation of sleep disorders.

This fully editable lesson explores the evolutionary explanations for the functions of sleep, focusing on how ecological factors, predator-prey relationships, and energy conservation influence sleep patterns across species. Designed using the OxfordAQA International A-level Psychology (9685) specification, this lesson provides a detailed understanding of sleep’s adaptive role in survival. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: The lesson covers key evolutionary theories of sleep, including the predator-prey hypothesis by Meddis (1975) and the hibernation theory by Webb (1982). Students will learn how factors such as an animal’s size, ecological niche, and predator-prey status affect sleep duration. The lesson includes research by Allison and Cicchetti (1976) and Lesku et al. (2005), highlighting how correlational studies have shaped our understanding of the relationship between brain mass, sleep duration, and REM sleep. Interactive Activities: Students engage with a “Do Now” activity that prompts them to think critically about whether sleep is always beneficial for animals. The lesson also features “Check it” questions throughout to assess understanding, including tasks that ask students to explain ecological niches, evaluate research findings, and critically assess the limitations of correlational and captivity-based studies. Assessment Materials: Includes exam-style questions with model answers, such as explaining evolutionary functions of sleep and identifying limitations of using animal studies to investigate sleep. These assessment materials guide students in applying their knowledge to real-world examples and prepare them for answering both application and evaluation questions on this topic.

This free, editable resource is designed for A Level Psychology students to enhance their evaluation skills using the GRAVE method (Generalisability, Reliability, Applications, Validity, Ethical Issues). The resource includes a detailed summary sheet and a blank worksheet, guiding students through key questions for each component of GRAVE. It helps students critically assess psychological studies, ensuring they understand sample representation, experimental control, real-world applications, variable influences, and ethical considerations. Ideal for classroom use or independent study, this resource supports comprehensive and structured evaluation practice.
