<p>New for the AQA Activate 2 unit ‘Genes’</p>
<p>Full lesson ready to use straight ‘out of the box’.</p>
<p>Though designed for teachers to deliver (specialist and non-specialists), the lessons are structured in an intuitive way for students to navigate for independent/ remote learning/ homework covering missed content/recap</p>
<p>Similar structure to my other power points following the input - activity - review phasing<br />
plenary sections for progress checking<br />
Clear learning objectives and outcomes<br />
Modern and engaging layout<br />
Little adaptation needed<br />
Covers an hour lesson of content matched to the specification<br />

<p>AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at what how plants and animals have adapted to the environmental conditions in the rainforest.</p>
<p>The lesson has a retrieval practice starter to begin with. We then look at what biodiversity is and why the rainforests are particularly diverse. We then look at rainforest stratification and plant adaptations. The students have a sheet to complete and some information slides to use to complete the sheet. This could be used as a carousel or group work task. The sheet can even be coloured in! Then the students complete a mix and match up task on the most common types of animal adaptations. The students then complete a rating task with explanation as to how significant are threats to biodiversity in the rainforest. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.</p>
<p>Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.</p>

<p><strong>My Lessons include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Visually appealing graphics that encourage engagement throughout a lesson.</li>
<li>‘Do now/Starter’ activities with music to encourage fast and easy settling as the pupils arrive to lesson.</li>
<li>Progress steps: By having the student’s track their own progress, it creates ownership of goal achievement. The graphic representation of the students’ progress can be highly motivating. If improvements are not achieved, students can reflect on what changes need to be made to the intervention plan.</li>
<li>Peer and self-assessments (AfL) encouraging use of green pen self-assessment and purple pen peer assessment . This can be edited to meet the expectations of your school policy</li>
<li>Formative assessments to consolidate learning throughout (exam-style questioning, linking questions)</li>
<li>Plenary activities.</li>
<li>Extensions and challenge questions to reach higher ability students.</li>
<li>On screen timers to aid lesson plan and pupil focus.</li>
<li>Implementing subject specific key words throughout to encourage literacy</li>

<p>Designed for WJEC GCSE Biology as an easy-to-use booklet/PowerPoint resource. The booklet follows the Ppt. and covers everything students need to know for this section of the specification. This was done for an adult evening class where time was at a premium, but could be easily adapted for a series of lessons in a standard classroom environment.<br />
I have created similar resources for the whole specification.</p>
<p>A complete lesson including information covering the spec from ecology AQA GCSE related to biodiversity and the effect human interaction has, tasks are incorporated into the PPT, video with questions and answers, plenary quiz as a multiple choice worksheet with answers included. Exam questions are incorporated throughout the PPT with answers.</p>
<p>Learning objectives:</p>
<ol>
<li>To be able to state what is meant by an endangered species.</li>
<li>To be able to explain some of the advantages and disadvantages of captive breeding.</li>
<li>To be able to describe some techniques used to prevent extinction.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is a PowerPoint that includes all of the resources to teach about biodiversity. It can be used at either KS3 or for the B7 unit in the biology AQA specification.</p>
<p>An impact of climate change - focus on biodiversity</p>
<p>Starter - definition of words. challenge included<br />
Green pen - add to answers<br />
Point left/ right for correct answers (AFL)<br />
Students read intentions<br />
Students read the maps (write a sentence) - sentence starter on whiteboard<br />
Students read endangered line (understading - why?)<br />
Mind map reasons - do a few examples and add on board first<br />
Green pen add 3 more ideas<br />
Key term conservation<br />
Break down the word - bio / diversity = diverse stem (on white board)<br />
Breakdown sustainable<br />
Students to write down if they don’t know the words<br />
Differentiated reading (3 versions to make it easier for teacher to split them)<br />
Highlighting, writing ideas, challenges<br />
Create a poster or fact file (depending on time)</p>
<ul>
<li>success criterion - emphasise there is no marks for pretty work - to do it after the writing</li>
<li>challenge</li>
<li>e.g. my year 8s wrote half a page of information (mixed ability) for fact files</li>
<li>e.g. my year 9s wanted to do more drawings (mixed ability) so their work varied but they were really into it and would need more time.<br />
Feedback to class (table or notes - they were much faster with just making notes) - chose 1 per animal - visualiser for recognition and rewards<br />
Plenary - which one to save? Hands up voting.</li>
</ul>
