This lesson explains what contraception is and the various methods of contraception. By the end of the lesson your young people will understand the effectiveness and be able to explain the advantages and disadvantages of these different methods. This will give them appropriate knowledge to make informed decisions for themselves as they grow up.
This lesson is easily and quickly adaptable. It contains SPaG, uncovers and corrects misconceptions, has a true or false activity, gap fill, picture puzzle, carefully selected NHS Video clip, homework and FAQ’s etc Suitable for both KS3 and KS4.
Please do not buy my other “contraception” lesson if you buy this one, they are very similar, thank you.

KS3 Energy and conservation of energy - complete lesson, ready to use, pick up and go.
This KS3 lesson teaches energy stores in the new way required for GCSE 9-1 spec - so it builds the correct foundation for KS4. This supports good student progress and avoids confusing them by teaching them the old ideas about energy at KS3 (e.g. light is an energy store, sound is energy etc) and then the new ones at GCSE (9-1 specification).
By the end of the lesson learners will
(ALL) Understand what energy is.
(ALL) Know the unit of energy.
(ALL) Be able to name the 8 energy stores (as per new 9-1 GCSE requirements)
(MOST) Understand what each store is and identify them in the world around them.
(MOST) Explain that energy transfers from one store to another
(SOME) Demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy.
What do you get?
Complete and ready to use lesson that includes:
Energy cross word worksheet - with ANSWERS.
Energy circus activity sheet - with ANSWERS.
Two carefully chosen videos
Powerpoint that navigates you and the learners throughout and includes questions, answers, peer marking, self marking, video links, plenary quiz with answers etc.
Helpsheet
Equipment list for the circus practical (simply give it to your technicians)
Why buy this?
Very high quality (over 15 hours to create).
Optimised - low teacher effort for great student results.
Tried and tested (taught to my classes in 2017 and again in 2018).
Differentiated.
Complete and ready to deliver.
Easy to use
Simple and clear.
Engaging and varied.
Unique.
Correct to the new 9-1 GCSE spec. Beware! Most KS3 lessons on tes are not correct, they are contradicting the new 9-1 GCSE spec.

This lesson is 1 in a series of 5 that expertly and fully delivers all the points within the NEW KS3 specification SoW on the “light” topic.
I find that this powerpoint and the interesting activities keep lower level students engaged during the lesson while allowing differentiation for higher achievers. I’m sure you’ll find it useful. :-)
For more lessons designed to meet the new KS3 and KS4 specifications please type Barclayfox into the tes resources search engine to see all my lessons.
STARTER
Pupils will start the lessons by thinking/working in pairs to solve a picture puzzle and discovering what the lesson is about. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. Next there is a student lead laser light demonstration as they begin to identify the key properties of light.
MAIN
The slides then move on to lead the students in comparing light and sound. They will delve a little deeper into this by watching a video, discussing it and answering key questions.
MAIN
Next, the lesson focuses on numeracy questions based around the speed equation and the speed of light. Once this has been completed they can self assess their work using the answers provided.
MAIN
Students study a slide which shows the sun, an apple and a girl and asks them, how is it that the girl can see the apple? This leads to a discussion and the revealing of how rays of light move and reflect off the apple and into the girl’s eyes so that she can see the apple.
MAIN
The next activity involves the students grouping objects into luminous or non-luminous. There is differentiation via an activity sheet that can be provided to less able students if required.
MAIN
Students consider what a shadow is and how it is formed. This leads into a practical where students investigate how the size and position of shadows depends on the position of the light source and the distance to the object that creates the shadow.
PLENARY
In the plenary activity pupils complete a quiz which will uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. Students who need further support set themselves homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson.
EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
These are provided just in case any group requires them.
All resources are included in this great lesson, there is nothing for you to do but order the equipment for the demo and class practical (simply hand your technician the printed off kit list.doc) and if necessary photocopy the activity sheet.

Dangers of radiation. A complete and ready to deliver high quality GCSE lesson from Barclayfox.
There is nothing to do ! Even if you do not have time to look at it in advance it is not a problem as the PPT will lead you smoothly through the lesson.
Lesson objectives:
Understand the dangers of “ionising” radiation and the damage they can cause (ManKinD).
Know how to safely handle radioactive sources and protect yourself (TarDiS)
Understand contamination and irradiation.
Explain how ideas about the world can change.
Please note: This lesson does not cover “uses” as they are covered in the Barclayfox lesson 8 of this topic. This lesson is called “Nuclear radiation uses in medicine”.
My lessons cover the whole of this “atomic structure” topic but do not blindly follow the textbook order instead they use a structure that has proved highly successful over many years.
Uses in medicine lesson is here:
