The naughty elves have stolen the Christmas decorations from the "chemistree" in the classroom (oh no!) Students follow the PowerPoint steps to copper plate a piece of aluminium to make a Christmas decoration they can take home (or decorate your chemistree). -Students identify equipment and risks -Remove the aluminium oxide layer using acid -Use a simple electrolysis to plate the aluminium in copper. This makes a great science club activity (focussing on the procedure and practical element) as well as a relevant end of term treat for KS4. Merry Christmas!

Two PowerPoint slideshows that can be used to run through the theory and evaluative points of two popular concepts from the memory unit The effects of Anxiety on EWT the effects of misleading information on EWT Each PowerPoint has a practice research methods equation and a student activity.

PowerPoint lesson fully equiped with recap ‘blast from the bast questions’, content and practice questions. The resource has a higher activity with skills and spec points suitable for higher tier students and foundation activities (RAM and Mr split into two lessons).

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students are introduced to the Earth’s structure through the use of models. Students complete a literacy task describing each layer of the Earth and complete a task that allows students to evaluate each model.

-Students attempt two short answer exam questions before looking at model answers and ways to improve. -student watch a clip from Pixel inside out and explain why it might be a good representation of LTM. Students sort cards into categories and justify their choice. From this three definitions of LTM are formed. PowerPoint includes details of relevant studies and a worksheet to take notes on before completing two more relevant exam questions.

Students complete a 6 mark question related to outlining the clinical symptoms of anorexia nervosa and compare it to a model answer. Divide an A3 piece of paper into three and pass it to three groups in the class. Students use the textbook to write brief descriptions about relative theories and studies. After running through the PowerPoint students complete an applied question related to the genetic factors and compare it to a model answer.

powerPoints run through the questions “outline and evaluate research into the MSM (16 marks)” and "Discuss research into the working memory model (16 marks). The slideshow would be perfect to run through in a revision session, classroom revision or to be set for independent work to prepare students for their up and coming examinations.

Santa is fed-up of crashing his sleigh due to the yearly decreases of christmas-spirit. He needs a new fuel, The lesson is focussed around alkanes and their use as a fuel. Students are demoed a methane bottle rocket (instructions attached) and evalaute it’s effective as a fuel Students use fuel burner to assess energy release and how clean they burn. Students write a letter to Santa explaining what they have found out (and whether they have been naughty or nice).

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students are introduced to an inquiry photograph regarding forest fires. Students use the scenario built up from a video clip that allow the students to investigate what causes combustion. Students are introduced to the evidence that oxygen is an reactant, carbon dioxide is a product. Students write a report to the firefighter with their findings and possible methods of putting the fire out.

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. students are introduced to a scenario where they are ship wrecked. Students need to prioritise what are the immediate, intermediate and long term actions to ensure safety of their crew. The lesson moves three days later to when the group are running out of potable water. Students move into groups, become experts in a purification technique and decide on where on a map would be best to use their technique. Students share their findings with the class and complete an AFl task showing their new knowledge. A dry topic made very… undry… wet.

Students complete reminder questions related to the definition of acids by joining the lines to the correct definition. Students complete an experiment by dissolving magnesium ribbon in different concentrations of acid and timing the rate of reaction. This is related to the idea of concentration of hydrogen ions present.

Booklet is designed to be given out at the beginning of the year. The booklet covers: expectations, evaluation forms, checklists from the specification, guidance on command words and questions as well as possible essay questions.

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Resources for two lessons. Students are introduced to a murder mystery in which (spoiler alert!) it is due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Students watch video clips and answer comprehension questions regarding the dangers and effects on the body. In the second lesson students focus on their scientific skills. Rewriting and improving a method for two environmental scientists investigating the relationship between distance from a city and the level of carbon particulates. Students represent the data with a line graph and form conclusions.

This is an introductory lesson to psychology for GCSE. -Students are given Progress sheets and DIRT templates for their exercise books. -Students complete a THINK-PAIR-SHARE after looking at a series of psychology themed GIFs. -Students complete a discussion task designed to help introduce areas in which psychology investigate using the scientific method. Students use a verbal framework to share their ideas to the class. -Student finish the lesson constructing a diamond nine in their book. This is the first lesson of five of a GCSE introduction unit to psychology.

PowerPoints and worksheets that focus on the AO1, AO2 and AO3 objective criteria to the latest AQA A specification. The Scheme of work consists of easy to use PowerPoints and worksheets as well as activities such as a jelly brain dissection, neuron carousel experiment and end of topic assessment.

Two PowerPoint slideshows that can be used to run through the theory and evaluative points of two difficult concepts from the psychopathology unit. Explanations of OCD Therapies and treatment of OCD

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students compete a discussion and inquiry question regarding tan oil. Students complete a range of tasks that introduces them to the mixture crude oil and links the theory of distillation to separation techniques (from Year 7).

Each lesson includes a ‘blast from the past quiz’, a range of activities and an AFL task that relates to their progress. This lesson is part of the Environmental Chemistry unit targeted at Year 8s. Students are introduced to Elon Musk and his new prototype. Students choose a new fuel with an ‘expert task’. Student groups learn content and share their knowledge with the class before explaining to Mr Musk what would be the best fuel.
