Heart dissection classes are amongst the hardest and most daunting, partly because its difficult, its new with new tools and most of all because our boys have a terrible habit of lying about how squeamish they really are! This single worksheet and one heart between two students is all you need for a top notch quality learning lesson, no slides required! The worksheet shows a butterfly style heart dissection, so called as the front and back are seperated and if performed correctly resembles a gruesome butterfly, you will have access to each blood vessel, all valves and have a ver identifiable structure you can reference to in workbooks. Tips for best practice -Practice by yourself first! -Show each step by webcam onto the big screen, or even better Discord can stream to multiple ipads/tablets on each desk. -Make it a competion, biggest bloodclot found, best dissection, most features correctly identified etc. -Let them mess it up, but show them their success (oh that incision is in the wrong place, but you just found the Aorta!!!)

KS4 AQA B14.1 Evidence for Evolution Starting with a short knowledge recall starter. This resource walks you though exactly what a fossil actually is, how a fossil forms, provides clear links to adaptation and competition and has some extension challenges for pushing some discussion with the class and hitting that all important class differentiation. Full subject knowledge is not required. The lesson finishes with an extended discussion on the evolution of a horse, then a challenging exam question and finally a simple plenary. If you like this resource please subscribe, rate, follow and look out for more from me :) I plan to revamp all of my older resources to a v2 over the course of this year, a big undertaking. Enjoy

A simple little exercise, students will be briefed on the correct materials to find (some thin bamboo canes are ideal for this) and will make simple bug hotels. Even better if you can arrange a bottle collection in the cafeteria the day or period before! Simple but very effective, the bug hotels will not be pretty but to bugs they are perfect. My class stuck all of ours to an outside wall and it is now home to dozens of different insect species. Students will usually finish building theirs inside of a 20 mins, however the challenge then is to make them look pretty and attractive to bugs, ie: bright colours and landing pads! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

A pretty in depth look at invasive species and the wider effects on ecosystems, students will practice building food webs. It's quite suprising how emotionally invested students can get with Kingstons invasive green parakeets, be warned, when it comes to the subject of culling the room can get pretty heated with young ecowarriors of different opinions. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

Lots of oppurtunity for EAL and SEN engagement for this one, I recommend lots of modelling, if you've got a skeleton (mines called Larry) then thats great, a poster or even yourself is good enough to demonstrate what a skeleton can do. Make no bones about it, a mandatory ventriloquism is going to be expected! It better be humerus too! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

Usually the first dissection a student will get their hands on so its important to be concrete in your expectations here, its a good chance to flex those muscles and lay down the law. Kids will love dismantling a flower (any flower with big petals will do) and will hopefully recognise some parts already. Inevitably little Jimmy who you've just massively inspired will go home and begin dissecting his Mums prize roses... oops. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/matthewharman777 Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!
