New AQA GCSE Biology scheme (2016). A lesson on the natural origin of drugs, along with the stages of modern drug testing. There is also a practical activity on testing for the effects of caffeine on reaction times to get pupils taking about how to conduct an investigation that will give them valid and reliable results. Includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

Pupils start by answering a set of questions (the powerpoint refers to Showbie codes that I get my class to use for revision at home before the lesson, but this slide can just be deleted if you don't use this). Pupils will then be directed onto a revision path, depending on how many questions they get right from the starter. Each path is made up of approximately 6 tasks that are each meant to last about 5 minutes. At the end of the activities, pupils will then complete a 25 minute test to see how well they have progressed in the revision lesson. Both red (easier) and green paths have been included, along with the answer sheets so that pupils can self assess.
