KS3 Biology Lesson on Diffusion
Slides are fully animated, with constant AfL, differentiation, scaffolding of learning and review of objectives. In addition to this I have incorporated an element of Active Learning inspired by Ross McGill who had attended my school for a CPD Inset Day which I am now starting to incorporate into each of the lessons that I will upload in future.
