Here are some G&T questions I made up to challenge my more able students! I stuck them on A5 playing cards in difficulty order e.g. 2-5 easy (Aimed more at Year7) 6-9 Medium (Aimed at year 8) and 10-ace hard (Aimed at year 9). They include some 'How Science Works&' questions and also some general extension tasks. Enjoy- my classes love them!

New AQA Specification GCSE Module B4 A lesson detailing the different types of blood vessel.

Lesson on specialised cells that I've been able to use across KS3. Adapted from other resources on here so thanks :) Includes a fun independent and creative starter, card sort and also some dice to show/ test learning at the end of the lesson. Enjoy!

This is a lesson for a low-ability year 8 set so might need adaptation for other abilities. Loads of different activities- some adapted from other TES resources so thanks :) The table to fill in has got a SEN/easier version below it too. Enjoy :)

Lesson I used on a mixed ability Year 10 group. They really enjoyed the stationed activity and was a good fun lesson :) Hope it's helpful

Horse meat is the hot topic at the moment, so I used this for half of one of my lessons to discuss how Science is linked with this scandal! Students got a character card and had to take on that role and their opinion as to whether all meat should be tested or not. Worked BRILLIANTLY, had some excellent high level discussion! I used it with year 8 but I think it's suitable for all age groups with adaptions!

OCR Gateway B1e, Lesson on smoking focussed on indepedent learning. Small info sheets for pupils to teach a partner about alveoli and cilia then question and answer cards for groups to test eachother with.

This was a fab, jam-packed lesson! At the start I got pupils jogging on the spot to music to look at the difference in pulse rate before and after exercise. In the middle there is also an opportunity for pupils to practice the '6 mark questions&'. Take a look and leave some feedback!

This is a lesson recapping blood pressure then moving onto heart disease. Included are case study cards and a template for a 'heart disease fortune teller&' which I used as a plenary activity which girls in particular loved!

First lesson on the respiration topic of the AQA syllabus. It worked really well and I did the combustion of icing sugar as a demo at the beginning of the lesson and also got the pupils up to breathe down straws into lime water!

This lesson was largely independent learning. So i created different worksheets, two of which I have included and had textbooks and a computer available. I then split the class in half, half to learn about phagocytes and half to learn about lymphocytes. They then had to teach a partner about the type they'd learnt and vice versa. I then gave them the included worksheet to record their knowledge.

In this lesson I gave pupils an A3 sheet as they came in and got them to work on that for the whole lesson. The powerpoint includes a worksheet with questions differentiated by coloured outcome. I told pupils that they had to attempt certain questions dependent on their target grade, which is fab for differentiation! It's focused very much on independent learning and I projected the &'Keyword&'; powerpoint as they were doing the worksheet. I also included the demo using tights, swiss roll and coke to talk through the digestive system at the beginning! Happy teaching :)

Independent lesson focusing on kwashiorkor and obesity. 'Main Worksheet&' is filled with a number of questions which I got pupils to answer using resources included and textbooks. I also included protein and carbohydrate food tests in this lesson. They could move onto the worksheet when they&';d done the tests!

Lesson I used with a top set year 9 class, would work just as well with GCSE. Enjoy :)

Lesson for a top set year 9 group, can easily be adapted for higher or lower ability! Includes, progress checks and teach your partner section. For set 1 I gave them blank pieces of card for the progress check but have included progress check cards with keywords on that just need to be put in order which I've used with a lower ability group. Enjoy :)

I got pupils into groups and got them to model lungs using straws, cocktail sticks and raisins. The fastest group to create the most accurate model! It worked really well! When explaining gas exchange in our bodies I got pupils to volunteer and gave them signs saying 'lungs&', &';heart', &'red blood cell&';, 'oxygen&' etc. and got them to act it out as I explained it! Hope you enjoy teaching it- I did :)!
