Students sort the images into a cartoon strip that shows how WBCs fight pathogens. They then match up the description with the diagram.
I followed this up by showing my own description of how this happens without using keywords. Students then rewrote my description using better language.
This is a full Carbon Cycle lesson with printable sheets and answers incorporated in the PowerPoint.
The lesson includes;
-Key word bell activity
-Graded outcomes
-Barrier game to describe the carbon cycle
-Blank carbon cycle to complete to reinforce what they have learnt
-True/False quiz to check understanding
-Apply understanding to deforestation
-Finish the lesson with key word bingo
This is a complete lesson that investigates the growth of bacteria through practical work and analysing data. It includes;
- Bell work
- Differentiated objectives
- Group discussion
- Practical work
- Risk assessment skills
- Peer assessment
- Data to analyse
This is a full lesson in which students investigate how to measure the two types of variation. It teaches them to distinguish between continuous and discontinuous variation before collecting data and presenting it as a graph.
It includes:
- Bell work
- Differentiated objectives
- Examples and task to identify continuous and discontinuous data.
- Resources to measure variation in class.
- Example data to use for graph drawing.
- Hints and tips for graph drawing.
- Peer assessment guide.
Analysis of a graph showing the population changes in rabbits and foxes over time.
The worksheet includes questions differentiated using Bloom's so could also be used to improve understanding of command words.
This is a full lesson on the Impact of Smoking. It includes;
- Bell work
- Differentiated objectives
- Guided demonstrations with questions
- Interactive activities
- Data to analyse
- Guidance on writing a conclusion
- Interactive plenary
This is a full revision lesson based around answering a 6 mark question.
Review current understanding of key words and developing a vocab list to use in future answers.
Develop a strategy for approaching longer answer questions.
Use a mark scheme to assess model answers.
Develop an excellent answer that can also be used as a model for other topics.
Resources include:
-PowerPoint of the lesson including example 6 mark question.
Key words and definitions match up.
Model answers.
Mark scheme.
Also available as part of a bundle with a Chemistry and Physics 6 mark question.
A series of questions to test recall for all topics on the AQA Trilogy Paper 1 for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Questions come in blocks of 10, with either one or two sets for each topic. These are accompanied by a table for students to track their own progress.
I am currently using these with all my GCSE groups. Students complete the same test at the start of each lesson and record their results. This is repeated until all the class are successful, I then mix up the questions and repeat the process.
Biology, Chemistry and Physics lessons following a similar structure to develop subject knowledge and exam technique.
All lessons include a Powerpoint, key word sorting activity, model exam answers and mark scheme.
