This lesson is 50 minutes long, created for SEN/LAP pupils as part of calculator use practice
Created for Year 10 – KS4 – AQA/Edexcel for students doing GCSE.
Included:
Starter
Content and presentation – percentage change in mass calculation, how to break this down and put this in a calculator teacher modelling, you try calculation, link to osmosis and what positive and negative answers mean
Independent learning activity – easy calculations with percentage change in mass (again to practice using calculators)
Plenary – identify the correct calculation
Editted on 13/11/20 to include activity on whether water moves into or out of cells, and gapfil on whether cells swell, burst, shrink or wilt. Percentage change in mass calculation editted throughout to say starting mass, rather than initial.

Included:
2 x worksheets - unblurred when bought
Starter activity - why is pollution in a river concerning
Career link - Ecologist - Hook
Intro - what ecologists use to measure organism numbers
Relevance - why do we need to record organism numbers
Calculating the area of a field using a measuring wheel
What a quadrat is and how we use this
ACTIVTY - An example of how to calculate estimated population size from a mean, using a 0.25m2 quadrat. 3 steps.
ACTIVITY - Students collect data of daisies and buttercups in a field using a quadrat
Plenary - Students see that this works by working out the estimated number of daisies from a picture on the board using 5 random numbers that correspond to the quadrat number

Created for students in an SEN (Autism) School. You will need a light metre, Lux app will do on your phone, quadrats and transects
Included:
2 x worksheets unblurred when bought - slide 1 and 2
Starter - why do mature trees need to die before new trees can grow in forests
Career link - Ecotoxicologist
What animals and plants compete for
Abiotic and biotic factors
Photosynthesis recap
What a transect is and why we use this
ACTIVITY - Students collect data on how daisy growth is affected by light. You need to pick an area that goes from shade to light. This could be a building or tree.
ACTIVITY - Graph creation and conclusion
Answers included
Plenary - graph analysis, students select the correct answer that correctly describes the graph trend.

SCIENCE AND HUMAN MIGRATION
This lesson is a key stage 3 or 4 lesson (Year 7 to Year 10) that is 60 minutes long. This was developed as part of a culture day lesson linking science with culture.
Included:
Starter – what is culture
6 x A3 printout information hunt detailing Pakistani, Bengali, British, Eastern European (with Poland), Nigerian and Indian cultures. This links culture to astronomy, traditional medicine, blood types and Japanese personality types and human migration.
Content & Presentation – Astronomy, human migration, blood types
Independent Practice: Questions include:
Timeline of human migration from East Africa
Keyword table from different cultures
How astronomy links to agriculture
Tickbox exercise for blood types
what traditional medicines are used to treat illness.
Markscheme included
Opportunities for Self/Peer Assessment
Worksheet printed double sided in landscape - unblurred when bought

Three equations:
Stopping Distance = Thinking Distance + Braking Distance - 7 questions
Thinking Distance = Speed x Reaction Time - 7 questions
Braking Distance = (Speed2) ÷ (2 x Deceleration) - 6 questions
Questions are linked to Top Gear. Randomly ordered.
Three example questions included at the beginning:
Example 1 - Jeremy Clarkson drove a McLaren P1 at 90 mph. What is the stopping distance if the thinking distance is 25 m and the braking distance is 140m?
Stopping distance = 25 + 140 = 165 m
Example 2 – Richard Hammond drove a Mercedes-Benz S-Class at 27 m/s. If his reaction time is 1.5 seconds, what is the thinking distance?
Thinking distance = 27 x 1.5 = 40.5 m
Example 3 - James May tested a Lexus LC 500 at a speed of 22 m/s. If the deceleration rate is 8 m/s², what is the braking distance?
Braking distance = (22^2) ÷ (2 x 8) = 484 ÷ 16 = 30.25 m
Print pages 1 to 4 for students, answers are on page 5 to display.
