A simple and fun competitive snap game using scientific terminology matched with pictures. PPT can be presented to the entire class for a whole class session, or can be printed and cut for team games - there will always be a snap between 2 cards but the students need to find and identify the correct scientific key word. The students who calls out the key word first wins the round. Key words included are: Units, DNA, Bunsen burner, Tripod, Beaker, Gauze, Heat mat, Measuring cylinder, Safety glasses, Repeatability, Dissolving, Melt, Solidify, Evaporate, forceps, solid, Liquid, gas, reaction, reproductive system, microscope, pH, Periodic table, pipette, carbohydrate, fat, protein, test tube, lab coat, kinetic energy, sound energy, gravitational potential energy, atom, thermometer, cell, digestive, system, Electrical energy, circulatory system, electron, respiratory system, nervous system, litmus paper, skeleton, photosynthesis, light energy. Excellent as a settling activity or starter / interim activity.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Create a drawing of DNA labelling: sugar, phosphate and base. Pair correct bases together Describe how DNA bases are read in the body Explain what’s meant by mutation and the effects of this.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify substances that are present in the soil. Describe how a plant intakes these substances. Compare osmosis and active transport.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify variables that will affect the rate of photosynthesis. Describe how light intensity can affect the rate of photosynthesis. Explain the inverse square law for intensity.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify genes and alleles. Compare heterozygous and homozygous. Explain how the genotype is linked to the phenotype.

A comprehension lesson that teaches students about the carbon cycle, how carbon is found and moved throughout the ecosystem. Links here to the impact of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the forest fires experienced in Australia. Support sheets are also included to guide students should it be needed. Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Progress checks are present after each success criteria Past paper questions from the exam boards: WJEC, Edexcel international and UK including marking schemes. By the end of the lesson students should be able to: Learning objective: Evaluate the stages of the carbon cycle and make links between different processes and the movement of Carbon. Success criteria: I can describe 4 ways in which living organisms relate to Carbon. I can create a flow diagram to show the flow of Carbon. I can evaluate how sections of the Carbon cycle will be impacted by external factors. Powerpoint contains 20 slides and a lesson plan is also attached.

A fast paced escape room containing 12 different challenges! - set at 5 minute intervals will easily fill your entire lesson with the students working to crack the code. Each challenge is set at 3 different levels - these can be switched as needed for any challenge i.e. if you’ve covered the periodic table recently you might want your class to attempt the level 2 or 3 version of the challenge. The challenges cover topics such as: The Periodic Table, Acids and Alkalis, Circuits, Motion graphs (Distance-time and Velocity-time), Food tests, Animal and plant cells, Food chains / webs, Radioactivity Half-life, Reflection - pathway of light through many mirrors. Separating techniques - filtration, crystallisation and distillation. Moments / Turning forces DNA triplet code reading Slides can be printed to give out to students or projected on the board - not necessary to print. An answer sheet for each student can also be printed. The final slide contains the correct answers in the correct order.

All features work when used with google slides. All features should work with PowerPoint, but might need some rearranging. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify the different methods of cloning. Describe what is meant by a clone. Evaluate the uses of clones.
