A full lesson based on the new AQA (B5.7) SOW. The lesson covers the skin, nose and trachea/bronchi as the first line of defence. A differentiated question grid is used to apply knowledge and to conduct AFL (answers included). The lesson then moves onto the white blood cells and their role in phagocytosis, antibody and antitoxin production. Students then apply their knowledge to a PP question (answers included). The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.
A full differentiated lesson based on the activate 2 (P3.3) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson covers pressure in gases and the effects of volume and temperature. Student understanding is checked with a differentiated question grid challenge. Atmospheric pressure is introduced ahead on the 'crushing can' demonstration - very easy; a can, water, tongues and bunsen burner is required (youtube for demo). Students then reorder statements to explain their observations. The effect of altitude on gas pressure is then discussed with use of examples. The plenary is an 'articulate' activity where students make logical and scientific speeches making use of key words from the lesson. Those with the most key words used can be given a reward. This lesson includes all answers for self/peer assessment and no additional worksheets are required. The use of animation and the choice of topics to explain each theory were chosen with an emphasis on promoting a love of learning. Timers are included to promote pace.
A full, differentiated lesson based on the new AQA SOW (C5.7). A starter where students categorise items as acidic, alkaline or neutral is used to determine preconceived knowledge. Following this the pH range, acids, bases, and alkalis are discussed making use of examples. Students are prompted to take notes at key points using red font and a pen symbol. The release of H+ and OH- ions is also discussed ahead of methods in determining the pH of solutions. Knowledge is then applied to a differentiated question grid followed by peer/self-marking. A practical exercise (tailored to (C5.7) is then conducted where students prepare a pH curve by systematically adding acid to an alkaline solution using a burette, and monitoring the pH using a probe. Note, pipettes and universal indicator can be used as simple alternatives respectively. Stretch questions are included for the more able. The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are incorporated into the slides facilitating self/peer marking and timers are included to promote pace.
A full, differentiated lesson based on the new AQA (B4.2) SOW. This lesson starts off with a brief video to introduce the topic and then covers arteries, veins and capillaries in detail. Student understanding is checked via a differentiated question grid challenge. Students then attempt a past paper question (9 marks) and peer/self mark. The lesson then covers double circulation and its advantages. Another PP question is used for students to apply their learning. Peer/self marking facilitates AFL. A plenary question involves students comparing the efficiency of a fishes circulatory system to our own. Again this can be self/peer assessed. Students then finally reflect on their learning progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included within the slides, and timers are used to promote pace. LO are ranked based on the new 1-9 system.
A full differentiated lesson based on the new AQA (B4.9) SOW. The lesson covers environments and their relation to transpiration. The lesson the progresses to discuss photosynthesis, temperature, humidity (etc.) and their impact on transpiration. A video is used to introduce how plants are adapted to hot, dry climates and mechanisms of controlling water loss are introduced. A differentiated question grid is then used to apply student learning and conduct AFL. The use of the potometer is then discussed prior to another video and a final past paper question. The plenary is based on the students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives. All answers to written tasks are incorporated into the slides and timers are included to promote pace.
A full lesson based on the Activate 2 (P3.1) SOW but can be used for others. This lesson covers the units of speed, how to calculate speed, distance and time. Student understanding is checked with a simple calculation table and answers are peer/self assessed. The lesson then moves onto averages speed vs. instantaneous speed and relative motion. A differentiated question grid challenge is then used to apply learning and facilitate AFL for peer/self marking. The practical activity involves students calculating the speed of a toy car down a ramp, which can be divided into 5 sections to facilitate the calculation of instantaneous speed within each section. The plenary is based on the students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.
Full differentiated lesson including practical activity and risk assessment. Tailored to activate SOW but can be used for others. Lesson is differentiated to support both more and less able. Timings and powerpoint animations used to keep pace and facilitate Q/A during self or peer marking.
Full lesson with everything you need. Based on activate SOW and pitched to a year 7 class. Lesson is differentiated to support both more and less able. Timings included to promote pace and animations for peer or self marking/correction.
Topic of refraction for KS3, tailored to activate SOW and pitched to a year 7 class. Can be used above or below this criteria depending on ability. Lesson is differentiated and includes timers/animations for pace and Q/A during self/peer marking.
A full differentiated lesson with everything you need. Lesson is tailored to activate SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Powerpoint animations and timers support Q/A during peer mediated correction and promote pace throughout the lesson. Differentiated question grid included alongside stretch activities targeted towards more able.
Lesson based on Edexcell ‘keeping warm’, covering conduction convection, radiation and insulation. Can be used for other SOW. Everything you need for the lesson included; simple practical exercise (based on insulators), timers to promote pace, animations for Q/A during review of answers after each learning check point. Plenary based on self reflection against lesson LO’s.
A complete lesson for the topic of neurotransmission, covering sensory and motor neurones, synapse and the reflex arc. Lesson includes timers to promote pace, and powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during peer/self correction of answers. Content is based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for any.
A full differentiated lesson with everything you need to teach the topic of the nervous system. Lesson includes timers and animations to promote pace and self/peer mediated correction of answers. Support sheets included for less able and stretch activities for more able. Based on the AQA (B10.2) SOW but can also be used for others.
A complete lesson on the topic of solubility, based upon activate 2 SOW. The lesson includes a simple practical where students assess how temperature effects the solubility of salt within water. Ranked questions and stretch activities support differentiation, support sheets guide students through the practical, timers promote pace and powerpoint animation facilitates Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.
A full 1h lesson based on the activate 2 'metals and water' topic. The lesson incorporates a demonstration of group 1 metals reacting with water, alongside a reaction of magnesium and steam. If you are uncomfortable doing this videos can be used as an alternative. Prediction and equation writing is planned ahead of these demonstrations - students are scaffolded up to this. Students produce a mnemonic to remember the reactivity series and test their learning through a simple ( but fun) planner card activity. A great lesson to 'promote a love of learning' .
A full AQA physics revision lesson specifically tailored towards the P1 checkpoint (conservation and dissipation of energy). This lesson was used for a low ability group and is based on the foundation P1 test paper. Includes whiteboard activity, think pair and share, work done, GPE and power calculations. Timers are included to promote pace and PowerPoint animations are used to facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.
