A comprehensive Powerpoint which will allows for students to learn about luminous and non-luminous objects, opaque, transparent and translucent objects and how thickness of a translucent object affects the amount of light traveling through. I personally use this as an introductory lesson to the light topic. Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Progress checks take place after each success criteria to measure the progress of learners. By the end of the lesson students should be able to: Learning objective: Develop an understanding of how objects interact with light. Success criteria: -Identify luminous and non-luminous materials. -Describe how light interacts with a translucent material. -Explain why the thickness of a translucent material affects the light. This lesson contains 17 slides.

A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about how salts can be made by reacting a metal oxide and base. Students will be able to name salts or determine the reactants that form them, balance equations regarding salts and for a high ability stretch use moles in order to calculate the needed masses of reactants to react completely. Progress checks are available following each success criteria Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner. Learning objective: Justify how specific salts can be synthesised with reference to amounts. By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Success criteria: Identify the products / reactants of an acid-base reaction. Describe how to balance equations. Explain why equations must be balanced. Powerpoint contains 21 slides. Some prior information is needed for understanding chemical formulae in the later parts of the lesson.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Recall what’s meant by a soluble substance. Describe how to prepare soluble and insoluble salts. Explain why only insoluble salts can be separated using filtration.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: State what happens when sound reaches an object. Describe how echoes describe the object it has reflected from. Explain why echoes are used by pregnant women and dolphins.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify 4 types of materials. Describe the properties of each of these materials. Explain why ceramics are not used in building tools.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: Identify 3 elements from a single group. Identify 3 elements from a single period. Describe how elements are grouped. Explain why the periodic table is set out in the order that it is.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify the chemicals found inside a cigarette. Describe how these chemicals affect the body. Explain why more people are starting to use vapes instead of cigarettes.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: State what is meant by a drug. Compare medicinal and recreational drugs. Explain why some drugs are made illegal.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify what food contains. Describe how to measure the energy content of food. Explain how to make this a fair test.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify the 4 food tests. Describe the colour changes associated with each food test. Explain why healthier foods will rarely test positive with Benedicts.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify the 6 nutrients the body needs. Describe how the nutrients are used in the body. Explain why too much of these nutrients or too little can affect the body.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify key changes in the fetus during development. Describe the process of labour. Explain why contractions aid the process of labour.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify the 2 main ways seeds are dispersed. Describe how animals and the wind can disperse seeds. Explain why seeds need to disperse.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify parts of a seed. Describe how the pollen grain fertilises the ovule. Explain why seeds will only germinate when exposed to water.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify key parts of a flower. Describe the function of each part of the flower. Explain why flowers produce nectar.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify structures within the sperm and ova cells that help during fertilisation. Describe the process of fertilisation. Explain why the placenta is crucial for the development of a foetus.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify parts of the female and male reproductive systems. Describe the journey of sperm to the egg. Explain why it’s best for fertilisation to occur in the female’s reproductive system.

By the end of the lesson learners will be able to: Identify changes that occur during puberty. Describe how testosterone and oestrogen affect the body. Compare the changes that occur in girls to boys.
