Students are introduced to the gruesome actions of John Haigh the 'Acid Bath Murder of Crawley' through video clips and photographs. Students use their previous knowledge to discuss the dangers of certain types of acid. Students challenge their misconceptions of strength and concentration by completing a series of simple experiments dissolving magnesium in different concentrations of the same acid. Students consolidate their understanding through a series of levelled questions. Although designed as a final lesson to a higher level KS3 class, this could also be used as a stand alone Gifted and Talented lesson at any point in the year.

If you were wondering they are: Solute, solvent, solution, saturation and Solubility... Students start the lesson by thinking of as many scientific questions they ask about the picture that is on the board (a cup of tea). Students should be prompted to think of as many aspects of science they can apply to this quite simple picture... teacher could write answers on the board and praise legitimate ideas. Use the starter to discuss the idea of the five S's. Student complete a table during a treasure hunt that includes definitions and examples. Students discuss answers and watch video clip to reinforce their understanding. The teacher demonstrates saturation and conservation of mass by adding a spatula of sugar into a beaker of warm water on a weighing scales. Students complete the worksheet in any order they like to demonstrate their ability.

Students are introduced to the "horrific", yet incredibly improbable event of three lorries each containing sand, iron fillings and salt colliding. Their loads have been perfectly mixed and need separating... Students will work in groups to decide on how they might use their allocated equipment to separate these substances. Using content from the "ocean-clean up lesson", and "sieving for gold" lesson students will extract the iron fillings with magnets, use filtration to remove the sand filtrate and evaporation to remove the salt from the water.

As part of the last week of term I let my Year 8 and 9's choose what they learn about. This one came up... It was very successful! -Students list as many types of surgery they know from their own knowledge before being introduced to a range of surgical techniques. -Students complete a diamond nine activity to introduce the idea that often patients undergo surgery for a range of different reasons and can often be very beneficial to their well being and quality of life. -Students discuss odd examples of cosmetic surgery that seem "abnormal" to us -Poster swap activity discussing techniques, cost, and risks -Student choose from a range of animated videos to finish of the lesson related to the techniques above.

students are reminded of the evolutionary approach and are asked to explain three odd behaviours or biological phenotypes e.g. why do peacocks have large tails? Why do we sneeze? Why do hostages develop strong positive feelings for their capturer? Students then take part in a class blind folded taste test: Sugar, honey, chilli, salt, PTC, crisps ensuring there are no allergies. this should provoke discussion. Students use their text book, carousel work sheets and the PowerPoint to fill in their evaluation sheet. The end of the lesson should be used to discuss what they have found out.

Students are asked a quick quiz in relation to andro-centrism, alpha and beta bias, and examples to support those ideas. Students attempt two exam questions related to gender bias focusing on the different expectation within a 2 mark explanation and a 3 mark explanation Students are introduced to the evaluative points related to gender bias. Students complete the A3 essay sheet which has a basic structure (AO1 points already written) students evaluate to demonstrate their understanding.

Students are introduced to a Chief fireman who is struggling to put out a burning building. Students discuss their ideas while they watch the video and share their ideas to the class. Students are introduced to the fire triangle and the word equation for combustion. Students complete a practical in which they build three types of fire extinguishers (sand, water and carbon dioxide foam) to put out a controlled fire made from splints. Students decide on which extinguisher is the most effective and how it relates to the fire triangle. Students finish the lesson through the introduction of a chip pan fire to demonstrate how certain fires have specific requirements to extinguish them safely.

Students are introduced for the need of ratios in chemical reactions before running through a worked example on the PowerPoint. Students complete the famous magnesium oxide crucible experiment before completing a range of calculations.

Two PowerPoint slideshows that can be used to run through the theory and evaluative points of two popular concepts from the memory unit The effects of Anxiety on EWT the effects of misleading information on EWT Each PowerPoint has a practice research methods equation and a student activity.

In the first lesson students use the hook of Ramesses II and carbon dating to introduce the idea of isotopes. Following the PowerPoint, students test their knowledge with a series of questions. In the second lesson students use sodium as an example to explore the idea of relative atomic mass. Students run through calculating relative atomic masses from isotope abundances and use their knowledge to answer the questions.

This is an introductory lesson to psychology for GCSE. -Students are given Progress sheets and DIRT templates for their exercise books. -Students complete a THINK-PAIR-SHARE after looking at a series of psychology themed GIFs. -Students complete a discussion task designed to help introduce areas in which psychology investigate using the scientific method. Students use a verbal framework to share their ideas to the class. -Student finish the lesson constructing a diamond nine in their book. This is the first lesson of five of a GCSE introduction unit to psychology.

This is a GCSE introduction (AQA) to Psyhcology. However, the tasks could be adapted to A-level depending on ability. The lesson is centred around introducing skills linked to the A01 skills from the specification. The lesson is centred around the GCSE framework attached. -Students are introduced to an image in which they nave to annotate with questions. -Students complete a reading/comprehension task to extract and synthesis the most important aspects regarding the procedure and results. -Students watch a video clip to aid with a discussion regarding the results of the study. -students construct a conclusion and discuss how the findings relate to real life.

The slides contain a series of thought processes and frameworks so teachers can model out load their approach for students to use during comprehension and reading of scientific ideas. The lesson could be adapted for other topics. This lesson focuses on an end of Year test including: Acids and alkalis, homeostasis, energy stores and transfers, the particle model and reflection/refraction. Lesson content -Students complete a recap quiz. -Students complete a reading task in which they synthesis the data to title paragraphs and write one question. -Students get into groups and circulate around the room reading an exam question, completing an answer, and folding it over so the next group cannot see their answer. Once back at their stations they draft a final answer to share to the class based on the class responses. -Meta cognition slides and exam style practice.

Students read through the accounts of two cartoon characters to introduce the idea regarding the difference between science and opinion. Students are then introduced to a scenario involving the head teacher receiving the disturbing news that one of the teachers at school are in fact an alien! Students read through the letter he received and decide on whether this accusation is based on science or opinion. Students learn about chromatography as separation test. Students use a simple modification of the experiment to separate "blood samples" of each of the suspected teachers. The Alien teacher's blood sample will also contain green and blue food colouring. Students complete a wanted poster explaining their findings. This resource pack includes EAL differentiated worksheets, detailed lesson plans, and worksheets.

This pack contains a complete SoW of 20 lessons. -Each lesson contains recap quizzes, model answers, and can be used to teach the unit effectively. -The SoW contains a range of revision card homeworks, 3 DIRT lessons,an end of unit test and exam reflection lesson. -Lessons contain a range of exam practice, graph skills and application questions to help improve student’s exam skills. -Students have the opportunity to recontruct: Godden and Baddley’s context dependency study, War of the Ghosts, Baddeley’s encoding study, Murdock’s Primacy and recency effect, Loftus and Palmer’s False memory experiment and many more to help evaluate their reliability and effectiveness.

Certainly one of my favourite units from the GCSE course! In this lesson students are introduced to the concept of moncular (linear perspective, occlusion, relative size, and height in plane) and binocular cues (retinal disparity and convergence. These are covered in two lessons (I taught it as a double). Students are introduced to the concepts via gifs, diagrams and tasks. Students watch a range of videos and complete exam style questions. Although the lessons work well without the AQA Psychology textbook (Spikey red haired chap), its addition supplements the lesson well.

Student consolidate their understanding of the heating and cooling unit by completed a circus of timed Level 7 questions in groups. Keywords: convection, conduction, insulation, emitting radiation.

Using a range of simple equipment to plan a simple but precise thermometer based on Galileo's ideas. The final pieces of equipment can then be used in a competition to find a mystery temperature and then evaluated.

Student's plan a simple experiment to see what colour iron man suit emits the least amount of heat energy.
