This powerpoint is a simple introduction to the concept of Variation for use with Year 7 groups, although it could be used for Year 8 also. You could even take some parts of this to present to year 9, especially lower level groups. This free resource has been used a number of times with my Year 7s and 8s to great effect and has allowed me to scaffold up to other genetic concepts fairly easily. It includes a number of examples of variation including the peppered moth, the Dodo and a more complex antibiotic related example for more able students. Presented on primarily a blue background to assist dyslexic students Please do rate the resource and I hope it helps you

It is quite student led and will allow for a greater understanding of how light rays reflect off a mirror. it also covers the concept of periscopes and why ripples on water cause distorted images

This lesson, targeting Y8 (although applicable to Y9 and Key Stage 4 Revision, especially Foundation students) covers the concept of refraction building on the previous lesson on Reflection (also uploaded for free in this shop).

Scaffolds from reflection using angles of incidence, refraction and normals Also offers some practical real world applications of this phenomenon, including lenses in glasses.

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

This Resource includes a revision mat for Topics 9C1 and 2 “Reactivity of Metals” and “The Atom” (including the formation of Ions). There is also an accompanying powerpoint presentation that can be used to guide the revision lesson if you wish.

This Mat and ppt has been used on more than one occasion with great success
