Year 8 lesson on the human digestive system (name, sequence and function of organs). Worksheets included (end of PowerPoint). LOs: To identify the different parts of the digestive system. To explain the function of the different parts of the digestive system. To explain how the structure of each organ is adapted to its function. 1. Do Now: Review previous lesson on food groups 2. Exposition: Introduce the different organs and the sequence in which food passes through 3. Student Activity: Digestion card sort (ordering the organs) 4. Independent Activity: Label the organs on the diagram (Stretch: What is the function of each?) 5. Mini-plenary: Point to an organ and write down the name on mini-WBs 6. Class Activity: Organ riddles - which organ am I? 7. Class Activity: Write a question for the answer 8. Independent Task: Why is each organ the shape it is? 9. Plenary: Write yourself a WWW and an EBI For more resources check out my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/alexpce If you liked this resource, please write a review! :)

3 x Electricity Do Now activities. Each asks students to link keyword to their definitions and then draw a relevant diagram (eg. circuit diagram) to review learning. 1. The first tests keywords such as 'light bulb', 'battery', 'series circuit' and 'parallel circuit' and asks students to explain series and parallel circuits using a diagram. 2. The second tests keywords such as 'current', 'ammeter', 'voltmeter' and 'series circuit' and asks students to draw circuit diagrams containing particular components. 3. The third tests keywords related to a plug, such as 'live wire', 'neutral wire', 'fuse' and asks students to draw a plug and explain its important parts

Year 13 lesson on Transition Metal complexes (based on AQA syllabus). PowerPoint and worksheet included. Print out last 3 slides to hand out examples of TM complexes to students. LOs: To define key terms in relation to complex ion formation. To describe how the size of ligands affects the shape of complex ions. To explain how ligand charge determines the charge on a complex ion. 1. Do Now: Recap on transition metals 2. Student Activity: Think, pair, share - what does TM complex diagram show? 3. Student Activity: Students come to their own definitions of 'ligand' and 'coordination number' 4. Exposition: Monodentate, bidentate, tridentate terms introduced 5. Mini-plenary: Checkpoint activity asking for ligand, coordination number and shape for 3 new complexes 6. Student Activity: Students draw out bidentate ligand and answer questions 7. Exposition: Introduce and discuss various multi dentate ligands, perhaps introducing the term 'chelate' 8. Exposition: Explaining shapes of complexes with regard to the size of a ligand 9. Exposition: How to calculate total charges on complex ions 10. Independent Task: Students complete worksheet on TM complexes 11. Plenary: Recap of all new terms learnt, using 3 new TM complexes 12. Extension Task: Drawing TM complexes For more resources check out my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/alexpce If you liked this resource, please write a review! :)

Shapes of ions and molecules lesson for year 12 or year 13 (AS level or A level). LOs: To state the basic features of a molecule that determine its shape. To describe different molecular structures. To predict the shapes of simple molecules and ions with up to six electron pairs surrounding the central atom. 1. Do Now: Draw the Lewis structures for water, methane and ammonia. How many pairs of electrons surround the central atom in each case? 2. Exposition: VSEPR theory and structures with 4 areas of electron density 3. Mini-pleanry: Determine the shape of molecules that have 4 areas of electron density 4. Exposition: Shapes from 2 or 3 areas of electron density 5. Mini-plenary: Determine the shape of molecules that have 2, 3 or 4 areas of electron density 6. Exposition: Shapes with 5 or 6 areas of electron density 7. Exposition: How lone pairs affect bond angles 8. Independent Task: Practise determining shapes and bond angles of various different ions and molecules 7. Independent Task: Exam style questions on bond angles and molecular shape 8. Plenary: Wrapping it up
