Extremism and Fake News - Brand new for 2026. This two-hour lesson covers how we can check whether news posts on social media are real or fake, why its always important to check, especially before sharing, what can happen if we don’t, and how easily social media can lead us into extremist ways of thinking. Students will investigate a variety of news posts to assess whether they think they are real or fake, before checking them against verifiable sources, such as Full Fact, scientific research papers or official UK government data. All this information is included in an accessible, student-friendly way. The lesson covers six different forms of extremist thought, includes clips, creative tasks, information packs, literacy guides and much more. Best suited to KS4/KS5, but nothing unsuitable for KS3.

This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Chemistry GCSE, particularly the ‘Chemical Analysis’ SoW. Students are introduced to the idea that scientists are able to conduct quick and simple tests to identify a number of gases - oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, chlorine. Pupils will now complete a circus of activities, moving around the room to conduct tests for the presence of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide, recording their results in a table in their books. Pupils will need to watch a teacher demonstration for the test for chlorine, they can also record their observations of this demo in their table of results. Pupils will then be shown a video outlining each of the gas tests, they can watch this to self-assess their answers from the investigations they carried out. Students will now be given a card sort, for each gas - oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and chlorine - they will need to identify the correct method and correct positive results. They should do this with their books closed so they don’t rely upon the results collected from the last task! Their work can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. The next task is a ‘Quick Check’ activity whereby pupils need to answer a set of questions based upon what they have learned this lesson, the answers to this task is provided in the PowerPoint so students can either self-assess or peer-assess their work. The plenary task is ‘Take a minute’ where students need to spend a minute talking to the person next to them about what they have learned in the lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

An easy to use mark sheet covering the NEW (teaching from 2024) AQA GCSE speaking higher paper. Created from the mark scheme and broken down into an easy to use and follow format. Including the new AQA mark scheme developments and guidance on the meanings of key descriptors (e.g. well developed; communicated clearly). There is space for teacher to add student specific notes for even more supportive feedback, that can easily be acted upon by students. While I have made this as clear and easy to follow as possible, it is always useful for teachers to read the original mark scheme breakdown, which also includes sample answers and commentary, to ensure accurate application of the mark scheme. This has been created in a non-language specific format so can be used for Spanish, French or German. However, it was created based from the Spanish mark scheme, so may need additions/amendments for ‘complex language’ requirements, particularly for German. Word document to allow for school specific personalisation (names, logos, specfic class/test, department specific terminology etc). Foundation version available.

An assembly all about New Year’s Resolutions and how the turn of a new year is celebrated all across the globe. The assembly lasts between 15 - 20 minutes, including a short clip from YouTube and role play scenarios for the pupils to enjoy or participate in! The assembly is very easy to follow and is also editable. Enjoy! :-)
