This is a highly entertaining Christmas lesson full of fun activities. Complete and ready to use. It also includes a fully explained activity where students build and fire simple catapults made from lolly (popsicle) sticks. This is done in the classroom (no need to go outside). You do not need to know how to build the catapult, the lesson carefully guides students so they can do it without help ! They will absolutely love this activity and the story it is part of… great fun !
The story:
A story about an invasion of zombie Santas is told. Christmas is in jeopardy! The learners have to try to save Christmas by defeating the zombie horde and finding a cure to turn the zombies back into humans. All instructions are included and the lesson teaches the learners almost automatically, any of us can give this fun and imaginative lesson. How can we stop the zombie horde? How do we cure the zombies turning them back into people? Can your class save Christmas?
Flexible length:
The length of the lesson is very flexible depending on your needs. There are activities you can miss out and there is also a Christmas cracker based extension you can add in. So, the lesson can easily last anywhere between 0.5 hours and 1.5 hours depending on your requirements.
Subject and age groups:
This lesson gets the learners out of their seats, keeps them happy, focused and engaged as they work in teams building and creating. There’s nothing like zombies to capture the imagination of students! It’s a great lesson that teachers of any subject can use with all ages from 6 to 16 and it won’t go out of date (like a quiz might) so you can use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !
Learning and skills:
As well as being great fun and entertaining it is also educational and includes: literacy, numeracy, SMSC, team working skills, questions with answers, physical coordination skills, activities with answers, play ball game, joke telling etc
High quality, ready to use lesson - great for teachers of all subjects!

Target setting. Scorecard. Get organised. New Years resolutions.
This is a 30+ slide powerpoint navigated lesson that leads students to consider what they want to improve and then gives them a simple but magical tool to do it in the form of a scorecard.
Particularly useful for tutor time, or for Target Setting or New Years Resolutions or for any reflection or goal setting.
It can be focused on school targets and be used to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and achieving progress.
It’s useful to you directly too !
Useful for students and also for teacher’s - I’m much more organised and self disciplined now I use my scorecard ! :-)
Could even be used as an active assembly - each student would simply need a scorecard and a pen to participate.
Both the Powerpoint and the Excel file are fully editable so you can adapt them if you wish.
Happy teaching!

This lesson is designed as an introductory lesson. Ideal for the first lesson in September. It includes a quiz and student information collection. To accompany the PowerPoint there is a video and key points sheet.
Temperature versus volume relationship (Charles’ law). T vs V relationship. 20 slide PPT lesson on Charles’ law. It covers: temperature, KE, the Kelvin scale, absolute zero, how to convert between Kelvin and degrees Celsius (centigrade) and vice versa. It then moves on to the relationship between temperature and volume and calculating temperatures and volumes using Charles’ Law. Also covers all the key language. Well organised and succinct with clearly made key points and well chosen images. This lesson explains the material in an easy to understand way. Provides an excellent ready to use lesson on this topic, or it can easily be adapted if you wish.
UK KS4 and USA grades 9 to 11 (ages 13 to 16).
If you bought my “Charles’ law" lesson, please note that is very similar to this lesson, please do not buy both.

Great for new teachers and experienced teachers.
I have been using this very successfully for over a decade in a wide variety of schools (including two “tough” schools).
It provides an interesting and highly structured introductory lesson and has ensured good behaviour - even in groups that other teachers consider to be badly behaved.
Happy Teaching

* How can we show all the colours that make up white light?
* Predict the colour that results when different colours are added together

The first lesson with a new class is the most important lesson you will ever teach. You need to give this lesson to each of your new classes. Assuming you have 12 classes this year and your teaching career lasts 20 years that is a lot of classes, and all so easy! I’ve lost count of the number of times I have delivered this lesson, this truly critical lesson. It has been used and improved a huge number of times over many years.
During the lesson you will accomplish all these important things:
Sort out the seating plan during the lesson.
Learn names.
Introduce yourself to the students.
Get to know each student.
Set and agree class rules.
Rewards - find out which rewards they care enough about to try and get.
Set expectations of behaviour and ensure students recognise your authority as the teacher.
Help learners understand why work ethic is so important.
Learn about individual learners needs.
Learn about their individual likes (helps build relationships)
Learn about their individual dislikes (helps build relationships)
Start to build those all important relationships.
Start to coach / motivate the students about learning.
Happy teaching !
Yours,
Barclayfox
