Adapted from Pearson SNAB AS/A-Level book.
Topic 8 Grey Matter.
sub chapter 8.7 pp243-247 to be exact.
All about animal habituation and animal testing.
Includes past paper exam questions.
Additonal content! pupil and teacher guidance on core practical 18- “Investigate habituation to a stimulus.” Guides teachers and pupils on their practical write that comes with this particular chapter in the SNAB book.
I noticed there were very limited resources targeted towards lower-level Science GCSE and wanted to make resources that were engaging and fun. Complex information has been broken down while using questioning to stretch many of the students at a variety of levels.
My PowerPoint slides include:
visually appealing graphics that encourage engagement throughout a lesson
‘Do now’ activities with music to encourage fast and easy settling as the pupils arrive to lesson.
Progress steps: By having the student’s track their own progress, it creates ownership of goal achievement. The graphic representation of the students’ progress can be highly motivating. If improvements are not achieved, students can reflect on what changes need to be made to the intervention plan.
On screen timers that aid SEND students
Peer and self-assessments (AfL)
Formative assessments (exam-style questioning, linking questions)
Plenary activities.
