This fun, creative and easy to use resource provides a great framework for an introductory lesson on the changes of state. The starter tests prior knowledge about the properties of solids, liquids and gases, and the particle model of matter. The lesson introduces a series of key terms, a graph drawing activity as well as an opportunity for students to complete a piece of extended writing or story board.
This resources provides useful images and videos to help stimulate discussion and learning about the evolution of life on earth. Students use the internet to help them construct diagrams of the geological time scale, including the times and names for the geological eras and periods, as well as descriptions of important events of life on Earth.
This resource is ideal for a first lesson on the topic of disease. The first slide includes a series of questions for students to discuss about diseases. The second slide introduces the six different types of pathogens. Students can then copy and complete the table on the third slide, about the structure and modes of reproduction, using the remaining slides on the powerpoint, their textbooks and/or the internet. The fill-in-the-blanks worksheet can be used alongside the powerpoint resource and includes examples of diseases caused by bacteria, virus’s and fungi.
These resources are designed to help students understand the stages of protein synthesis including transcription and translation, including the role of mRNA, ribosomes, tRNA, codons and anticodons. The PowerPoint includes a series of useful links to youtube videos on the topic, as well as a past paper question and mark scheme.
