This lesson and resources were used for an interview lesson (I did get the job). Used on a year 8 class - but I have used with year 7 and low ability year 9. <br />
<br />
I found the idea from TES originally and have adapted and added tasks to look at graph skills.
Main resources - magnification calculation help sheet. <br />
<br />
My middle ability class were struggling with the new GCSE magnification calculations. I found the working out the size of cells activity on TES and created the help sheet for my middle / lower ability pupils. <br />
<br />
Example calculation included, structured steps to work out and a framework for pupils to complete the calculations. Including converting mm to micrometers. <br />
<br />
Had much more success in the lesson with the help sheet.
<p>Full lessons and resources for AQA Biology trilogy only (triple science lessons available seperately). Include are PowerPoint presentations, exam practice questions, information hunts and differentiated questions / activities.</p>
<p>Lessons include:</p>
<p>B18.1 Human Population Explosion<br />
B18.2 Land and Water Pollution<br />
B18.3 Air Pollution<br />
B18.4 Deforestation and Peat Destruction<br />
B18.5 Global Warming<br />
B18.7 Maintaining Biodiversity</p>
Produced this lesson to use with my year 11's in preparation for their exams. <br />
<br />
Looks at different memory games to get them thinking about how their memory works - then explains how short term memory and long term memory work and how things can interfere with their memory. <br />
<br />
My class really enjoyed this - both the memory games and how it applies to revision. They came away with a better understanding of strategies to use for revision.
I produced this booklet to help year 11's prepare for the exam - there was always plenty of material on how to revise, but never on techniques to use in the exam to help them. <br />
<br />
This breaks down different techniques such as using the marks, reading the question, structuring answers, etc. <br />
<br />
Examples are from GCSE Science papers - but could easily be adapted. <br />
<br />
This can be used as a presentation or printed as a booklet.
Fully resourced lessons on the new AQA specification - trilogy lessons only. Activities involve card sorts, practical work, exam practice questions and some reading comprehension tasks from the OUP AQA Biology textbook. <br />
<br />

<p>Quiz for AQA paper 1 biology (trilogy).<br />
Covering content B1 - B9.</p>
<p>Multiple choice end of paper 1 quiz, with answers and a worksheet for pupils to complete their answers.</p>
<p>Mainly designed for mid-lower ability pupils.</p>

Lesson used on drug testing for AQA GSCE Core Spec. Used with both high and low ability groups, just adapted for their needs. All resources included. <br />
<br />
Students start by reading a recent news article about drug testing and answering some comprehension questions. <br />
<br />
Card sort on the process of testing drugs - use of revision guide to help complete. <br />
<br />
Animal testing - is it right or wrong - discussion based worksheets. <br />
<br />
Thalidomide - information hunt - stick the posters around the room and pupils collect the key information need. <br />
<br />
<p>Key Facts for GCSE Combined Trilogy biology content.</p>
<p>Ideal as a revision resource fror pupil, rather than a resource that contains all of the indepth detailed information.</p>
<p>Compiled using the specification, textbook and key content for each topic.</p>
<p>Each PowerPoint is apoproximately 55 slides long and breaks down each topic (as in the AQA OUP textbook) into the key facts needed for pupils.</p>
<p>Can either be delivered as a revision presentation or, as I have done, printed them for pupils to use in their revision.</p>

Worksheet made for my lower ability classes. <br />
<br />
Focuses on defining diffusion and active transport, with examples and then linking to parts of the spec. <br />
<br />
Has helped my lower ability focus on finding the key information. Alternatively could be used as homework / revision sheets.
