A complete revision lesson covering the digestion section of AQA module B2- organisation. It also covers the two RPAs (enzymes and food tests) that occur in this topic. The lesson opens with the food tests RPA followed by looking at the components of a balanced diet along with the role of each nutrient in the body. The lesson then moves to look at the digestive system, its components and their individual role. It then looks at the stomach as an example of an organ with its tissues and their functions. The lesson the moves onto enzyme action and the enzymes of the human digestive system. It then covers the enzymes RPA before finishing with a series of exam questions.

A complete lesson covering section 5.3.3 a-e of the OCR Physics specification- free and forced oscillations and damping of SHM. This covers the difference between free and forced oscillations and the effect of resonance. It then looks at damping especially as a means of reducing the effects of resonance for example in earthquakes. Includes a starter, full notes and lots of student independent tasks. I always try to reduce photocopying so all activities are found in the PPT. All answers provided

A complete lesson covering section 5.3.1 c-e of the OCR Physics specification- equations of Simple harmonic motion and PAG10. It covers the equations for velocity, acceleration and displacement as well as their derivation. It includes lots of students activities Also includes instructions for PAG10 which is an investigation into pendulums. You may also wish to add the sheet from the OCR interchange I aim to reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PPT All answers included

A complete lesson covering sections 5.4.3 and 5.4.4 of the OCR Physics specification- gravitational potential and planetary motion. The lesson starts by introducing gravitational potential including the various calculations. It then looks at GPE and how this can be calculated covering the fact that at GCSE students calculated changes in GPE rather than absolute values which are negative. It then looks at changes in gravitational potential and how these can be determined mathematically and graphically. The lesson then moves onto escape velocity and satellites before introducing Kepler’s three laws. The lesson includes lots of independent student tasks including practicing deriving the planetary motion equations. All answers are included I always aim to reduce photocopying so all tasks are within the PPT- 41 slides in total

This is a complete lesson covering points 5.2.2 a-f of the OCR Chemistry specification- Entropy and free energy The less starts by introducing the concept of entropy and the effect that changing state, dissolving and producing a gas have on the value. It then looks at calculating entropy changes.It the looks at Gibbs free energy and how this can be calculated including the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions. The lesson follows an explicit instruction model with lots of opportunities for i do, we do, you do All answers included I am to reduce photocopying so all activities are within the PPT (30 slides in total)

A complete lesson covering section 5.2.3 a- e of the OCR Chemistry specification - redox reactions and carrying out redox titrations. The lesson opens with a reminder of oxidation numbers from year 12. It then looks at reducing and oxidising agents using an example to reinforce the idea. The lesson then moves onto how half equations can be used to construct overall equations for reactions, again with students led practice. It then looks at using oxidation numbers to complete equations, including when some species are missing from the equation (such as water) . The final part of the lesson looks at redox titrations including both how to carry them out as well as various examples of calculation including calculating purity and using it to work out water of crystalisation. The lesson includes worked examples and student independent practice. I aim to reduce copying so all activities are within the PowerPoint- 36 slides in total

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5 b and c- further organic synthesis. The lesson covers a variety of skills needed for organic synthesis: identifying functional groups Identifying synthetic routes Completing flow charts showing synthetic routes Recalling and using reagents and conditions Drawing reaction mechanisms including curly arrows The lesson is a mixture of student activities and teacher led worked examples All answers included i aim to reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PPT (47 slides in total)

A complete lesson covering section 6.2.5c of the OCR specification - testing for functional groups and PAG7.3 The lesson starts with reminders of the tests for the main functional groups in the OCR specification. Each one is set out with the same structure- first giving an opportunity for recall before revealing the answer. The lesson then introduces PAG7.3 (you will need to download the full details off the OCR interchange). After the practical there are a series of activities allowing students to apply what they have learned about the tests. These can be done individually or as a class. I am to actively reduce photocopying so all activities are in the PowerPoint (29 slides in total)

A complete lesson revision module C8- chemical analysis from the AQA Trilogy combined course It covers chromatography, formulations and the gas tests via a series of retrieval activities as well as lots of exam practice. Includes the chromatography required practical. Some slides are animated with triggers to make the animation work- simply clock the boxes when showing the PPT and they will disappear All resources are in the PPT and all answers included

A complete lesson revising section 4.1.3 of the AQA trilogy science course- cell transport. It covers diffusion, active transport and osmosis as well as the osmosis required practical Also includes some retrieval activities on cell structure and function Includes lots of retrieval type activities as well as exam questions All answers included and all resources are in the PPT

A PowerPoint for an assembly on study skills. Aimed principally at KS4 and year 9 but could also be helpful with KS3 It is 18 slides long with presenter notes on the majority of slides It starts by discussing why studying is so important before moving onto a series of tips around good study habits (set goals, plan time, location). It then looks at 6 different evidence led strategies including flash cards, interleaving and dual coding The assembly closes by considering the importance of practice but also looking at mental and physical health
