A lesson on climate change, global warming and greenhouse effect. Fairly interactive lesson with plenty of extended writing and differentiation by outcomes to drive progress.
Differentiated lesson on momentum from AQA Higher Combined/Physics.
Lesson includes outcomes driving progress and PPQs. Great opportunities for prior learning links, AfL and independent/extra challenge.
Lower ability foundation lesson for AQA 9-1 Combined trilogy (suits other boards/specs) on Evolution by natural selection. Includes the seeds & tweezers practical, or can be substituted out.
AQA 9-1 Chemistry lesson on bond energies.
Fully differentiated and high challenge lesson, inc PPQs, extension challenges, clear worked examples & AfL.
A lesson on diffusion and how surfaces in organisms are adapted to allow diffusion to take place.
This resource includes a lesson plan, powerpoint, RAG starter task & RAG past paper Qs and mark schemes.
Differentiated for all ability groups.
The lesson includes dissection demo & use of ipad/computer room facilities for research. These sections can of course be replaced with printed resources and videos if no access is available
A practical revision lesson for the new AQA 9-1 Biology. This covers key enzyme concepts and the full RP5, effect of amylase on digestion of starch .
Fully differentiated, with past paper Qs, RAG and scaffolding, and method sheets with extension tasks.
A full lesson for 9-1 GCSE AQA Biology, reaction times. This is part of unit 5, homeostasis.
Lesson includes differentiated ppt with RAG and challenge tasks, plenty of AFL etc.
Also included method and conversion table from AQA.
Differentiated PPQs and a key practical terms hwk/extra task.
A lesson (could be extended to 2, as these are planned to 75mins plus hwk) on DNA, human genome project and early human migration, for the new AQA GCSE spec, topic 6.
A full lesson on selective breeding, with differentiation and plenty of challenge tasks.
Work is levelled & includes a PPQ as well as a lot of application of acquired knowledge.
A full lesson on genetic engineering for AQA 9-1 Biology GCSE.
Covers all aspects of the process, including pros/cons etc.
Links well with the previous lesson on selective breeding, and includes many tasks & differentiated objectives.
Past paper Qs also included, and leveled R/A/G
AQA 9-1 GCSE lesson on Types of reproduction.
This lesson follows the homeostasis unit and leads into Cell division (mitosis & meiosis) for sexual reproduction.
Targeted for a mid/lower ability group.
An entire lesson (2 dependent on ability) for collision theory, rates of reaction calculations & surface area.
Fully outcome driven against the following. Can be adapted for higher/lower ability classes.
State that chemical reactions can only occur when a collision occurs with enough energy.
Describe how surface area of a solid can be increased.
List the factors that can affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Calculate rates of reaction
This lesson focuses on the calculation side, something students are generally weaker on, with the practical following next lesson.
Fully differentiated and scaffolded to support with examplar answer to make peer/ self assessment a big part of your lesson.
GCSE AQA 9-1 Trilogy lesson for pure substances & mixtures, fully differentiated for middle ability group.
RAG task, extension and independent tasks, range of resources & AfL included
This is a lesson I created for an observation. Students have briefly covered air and water resistance (mixed ability).
Self lead lesson to help santa design a sleigh which reduces the effects of air resistance, and therefore can travel more efficiently around the world
