Revision Lesson and Mat 9B1&2 Inheritance/Selection & Health/Fitness

(0)
A full lesson including entertaining starter and plenary game covering revision for the Year 9 Biology topics 1 and 2 (AQA). This KS3 Y9 Lesson also includes a revision mat and a guided lesson to take the class through the sections together, ensuring understanding. There is also additional learning of joints and bones. There is also a separate powerpoint with just the revision mat so you can use this for editing to make the lesson more suitable for your needs. This is a very Student Led lesson that has been used successfully in Year 9 and would be suitable for year 10/11 revision if appropriate, especially with Foundation stage classes.

Year 8 Sound Waves through different media

This lesson gives an interesting and student led journey on sound waves and how they move through liquids and solids. This could be expanded to included gasses also, but focusses on the particle model for waves. Aimed at Year 8, this could also be used for other KS3 classes and even Foundation KS4 Used several times with success, including an opportunity for marking a piece of work in class, either by peer review or by teacher

Life Cycle of a Star - Life to Death Star Formation

(0)
This powerpoint resource is a full 1 hour lesson on star formation, from start to finish, including Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, Nebulae, white dwarves and Black holes, Red Giants and Main sequence stars. Explains in full the movement of a star from its formation through to its final incarnation as a white dwarf or Black hole. This is a very “talky” lesson, so the addition of a few exercises - dependant upon your student audience, could support it

Bar Charts and Line Graphs Introduction Y7

(1)
A 2 lesson set to introduce Bar charts and Line Graphs to year 7s, although could be used for Y8 and 9 classes also Contains a fairly student led activity set in 2 lessons revolving around categoric and continuous data. Starting with Bar Charts, and going on to Line graphs, including LA differentiation ideas and Ha extensions It is expected that this 2 ppt lesson will span 2 1 hour lessons. 1 for Bar Charts and 1 for Line graphs although it is possible for a very high ability class to cover both in one lesson (Perhaps with some small amount of trimming)
