Powerpoint and 8 worksheets, designed for the new AQA Psychology (2015 spec). I have always enjoyed teaching statistics and the students usually quite enjoy these lessons. This is for the Year 2 content. It will take probably 3 x 1 hour sessions and there are answers provided for the worksheets. The powerpoint should act as a lesson plan really. It is tried and tested from previous courses I have taught and adapted to current specification requirements. It includes with it a 40+ slide ppt & 8 worksheets with lots of example scenarios for them to practise their stats skills on. It includes: Significance and Probability Choosing a Stats Test Using Observed and Critical Values Reading Critical Value Tables Recap on Sign Test (assuming some knowledge from first year) A couple fun activities (kahoot and bingo)
