What’s Included: • Starters / Do Now. • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. Learning objectives: Describe how populations form communities and communities form ecosystems. Describe how organisms in a community can be interdependent, and how this can lead to stable communities. Explain the difference between biotic and abiotic factors and explain how a change in a factor might affect a given community given appropriate data or context.

A ready-to-use tool to track and analyse your author sales on TES. This tool is simple (no need for Excel skills) but also powerful. The analysis that I was able to undertake using this tool allowed me to rapidly increase my TES sales from bronze to gold level. Watch the preview video to see how you can use it to grow your TES author business. Simply copy and paste the sales data from TES - the magic of Excel does the rest. Full instructions provided Summary Sheet: See the value of your sales, and the amount of your author royalty. See your average sales per day, and the date you can expect to get to the next tier. Analysis Sheets: See how often each resource has sold, the average price it sold for, and how much you have made from each resource. Spot what makes your best sellers more successful, which resources sell the most and which are most profitable (not always the same thing!). Spot which resources have stopped selling using the Title Sales by Week sheet. See the number of sales and the amount of royalty you made week by week - this is always nice when your business is growing! Work out the best times to promote and upload your sales with the sheets that analyse sales by day of the week, hour of the day and even by country. As this is just a normal spreadsheet there is no software to download and the spreadsheet should work fine on work issued laptops. Instructions are provided so that you can easily change the chart type (e.g. from a pie chart to a bar graph) on most sheets. There are filters on most sheets so that you can select a specific date range e.g. to ask “what are my biggest sellers this week?” For those more proficient in Excel the spreadsheet is not locked so you can easily build upon what is already provided.
