Database Queries - Searching a Database - Guess who game! KS3 Computer Science

(2)
YOU MUST HAVE MS ACCESS TO USE THIS LESSON (THE FBI FILES IS A DATABASE!). Teachers need to show students how to carry out a query using Microsoft Access first. Students can then use the database provided to independently practice their ability to carry out a query by answering questions 1 - 7 on the provided handout. Teachers should then bring the class together to play 'Guess Who' using the PowerPoint and database. Teachers display the clues to each of the four people and students should carry out a query to find the correct person. A reward for each quickest query-carry-outer could be provided. A long activity to complete your database lesson for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing/Computer Science!

Exactly what the title says! A blank, 5 period day, timetable template. Useful to give to students to copy up their weekly timetable or for teachers to display on the wall to show primary classes which lessons are scheduled for when. Uploaded as a Word document so it can be coloured/typed on to suit. There are two versions of the five period day to suit when you may have lunchtime. There's a six period day uploaded separately if that helps too! Enjoy!

Reward Coupon - Teacher IOU Template - 8 per page - Positive Behaviour

Reward Coupon - Teacher IOU Template - 8 per page - Positive Behaviour

(1)
Easy to fill in coupons to reward positive behaviour or good work. 8 per page, so they're small enough to print a shed load and have them at hand when marking or teaching. Teachers just need to fill in the 'IOU' circle with the reward being given (we use VIVOs and just fill in IOU 10 Vivos, but this could easily be house points, commendations etc.) A tangible method of rewarding your students - they do something good, they something immediately. I get students to fill their name in on the coupon and 'post' them to me so I can reward later in the day when it's more convenient! Enjoy, for free!

Shape - Perimeter - KS2/KS3 Maths PowerPoint & Student Booklet (More than 1 lesson!)

(0)
The PowerPoint introduces perimeter to students before taking them through three sections (could be three separate lessons). - working out perimeter of squares & rectangles - working out perimeter of shapes without measurements displayed - working out perimeter of shapes with part measurements displayed I've included the student work booklet - this has also been separated into sheets if it makes it easier (not additional resources). Differentiated and fully resourced short set of lessons for KS2 Maths or lower ability KS3/recap. Answers pop up on the PowerPoint, apart from sheet 2 measurements as these depend on how you print the handout! As always, your feedback would be appreciated. Everything is owned/created by me. One or two images have come from a royalty free stock photo site, no permission is required for these to be used in my resource. Enjoy!!

Organisation Charts / Organisational Structure- An Introduction, getting students to draw the charts

(0)
An introduction to organisation/organization charts. This resource includes a lesson PowerPoint (full lesson), three differentiated activities with increasing difficulty and a lesson review (exit note). Teachers could either give students the sheet to draw all three charts or give students different examples to complete based on ability, which is why there are different versions. Teachers may also wish to get students to create the charts themselves OR could use the templates provided - or lower ability students could be provided with the templates. All companies are fictional, logos designed by me, Enjoy.

Instruction Sheet - How to link YouTube clips to PowerPoint 2013 onwards Method2

Instruction Sheet - How to link YouTube clips to PowerPoint 2013 onwards Method2

(1)
These instructions show you step by step how to LINK to a YouTube clip from your lesson PowerPoints. There are more complicated instructions to actually EMBED clips into your presentations within my resources (free). Once set up, you click the link within your presentation and then you'll be taken directly to your chosen clip. This saves having the link, copying and pasting it in, and then loading up YouTube and makes for a more professional approach to presenting your lesson. These instructions are correct at the time of writing and work for most versions of PowerPoint. There's no need to feedback if they don't work for you, it might be your computer/version. Enjoy!

Instruction Sheet - How to embed YouTube clips into PowerPoint 2013 onwards Method1

(0)
Here I've outlined one way to embed YouTube clips into your lesson PowerPoints. If this doesn't work, or is too complicated, search my resources for the other method! These instructions go through step-by-step how to embed YouTube clips into PowerPoint. This is a temperamental process, so if it doesn't work, try my other method (don't feedback to tell me it doesn't work, it works for most!). The videos are actually embedded into your presentation so there's no need to visit YouTube. You will need an internet connection when you play the presentation though. Good luck! Enjoy...
