This is a fully differentiated activity for the labelling of theheart. There are several different ways this resource can be used depending on the group ability and year, see the information file for examples. For lower ability groups there is a simple cut and stick activity, where students create a resource that they can test themselves with (seen in the cover image). Alternatively there are information sheets that you can place around the room, which students can use to annotate their diagram. I normally run this activity with a set of rules: they can only write at their desk and they cannot remove the information. This means they have to memorise small pieces of information in a short space of time. This makes for an excellent active learning task. Note: I create all my resources with the greatest care to detail and I hope that they can provide your classes with fun and informative activities.

A differentiated resource for producing a labelled diagram of a reflex arc. There are two main versions of this activity, but both of them require the information cards. These can be printed out and placed around the room. The first version is an all in one A4 sheet that has the diagram and labels that can be cut out and stuck on. This is better suited to lower ability students, they can find out where the parts are by looking at the information around the room. The second version requires the diagram with no labels. Students have to collect the information from around the room and write it on their diagram. I run this as a memory game, giving students two rules: they can only write on their diagram at their desk, and they cannot move the information sheets.

A differentiated resource for producing a labelled diagram of the ear. There are two main versions of this activity, but both of them require the information cards. These can be printed out and placed around the room. The first version is an all in one A4 sheet that has the diagram and labels that can be cut out and stuck on. This is better suited to lower ability students, they can find out where the parts are by looking at the information around the room. The second version requires the diagram with no labels. Students have to collect the information from around the room and write it on their diagram. I run this as a memory game, giving students two rules: they can only write on their diagram at their desk, and they cannot move the information sheets. The PowerPoint features an example for students to follow (for the cut and stick). It also has the diagram for you to project and annotate on a white board if necessary.

This is a lesson based around the concept of adaptations. Areas covered: - general and specific adaptations - surface area to volume ratios - camel case study - polar bear case study - cactus case study - summary questions The main tasks include an information hunt, there are a total of 24 cards with information about adaptations for camels/polar bears. These can be placed around the room and students must get up and annotate their diagrams. This is a great active learning task, and I often add rules such as you cannot move the information, and you can only write at your desk (forcing students to memorise small chunks of information). There is also a 10 mark exam style question that can be used as a plenary or homework. I have made the slides as informative as possible with lots of pictures (image credits within the PowerPoint notes section). For the worksheets I have created separate files for 'paper savers' these try to condense as much on to one A4 sheet (6 diagrams), especially important if you have printing restrictions.
