This fully editable lesson on Sensation and Perception explores the fundamental differences between how we sense and interpret the world around us, aligned with the AQA GCSE Psychology Specification. This resource equips students with an understanding of key concepts and theories, as well as their application to real-life scenarios. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Students are introduced to the key differences between sensation (receiving sensory input) and perception (interpreting this input). The slides provide clear explanations, real-world examples, and visual aids, including engaging Think-Pair-Share activities such as debating Gregory’s Constructivist Theory and Gibson’s Direct Theory. Students also analyse examples like visual illusions and the “Fear or Love?” scenario to deepen their understanding. Interactive Activities: This resource features dynamic tasks, such as “Do Now” activities to encourage initial engagement (e.g., identifying and reflecting on the five senses and their importance). Visual illusions like the Müller-Lyer illusion and Rubin’s Vase allow students to explore how perception can be influenced by context, while real-life scenarios like interpreting fear or attraction help bridge theory and application. Assessment Materials: Students consolidate their understanding through structured tasks, including worksheets that differentiate between sensation and perception and short-answer exam practice questions. The plenary task challenges students to consider the reliability of perception in broader contexts, encouraging reflective discussion.

This fully editable lesson is designed for the AQA A-Level Specification (June 2019), focusing on Minority Influence within the topic of Social Influence. It explores how a minority can impact the beliefs and behaviors of the majority through the processes of consistency, commitment, and flexibility. With engaging activities, critical evaluations, and research-based examples such as Moscovici’s blue-green slide study, students will develop a thorough understanding of minority influence in social settings. Key Features: Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Introduces students to key concepts of minority influence, including the roles of consistency, commitment, and flexibility. Real-world examples like the Civil Rights Movement and LGBTQ+ rights are used to illustrate the power of minority influence in driving social change. Interactive Activities: Includes a variety of engaging activities, such as a “Do Now” prompt, think-pair-share discussions, and case studies. Students analyze how minority groups can lead to internalization and long-lasting attitude changes using concepts like the snowball effect and deeper processing. Research-Based Insights: Provides a detailed analysis of Moscovici’s blue-green slide study, explaining how consistency in a minority’s viewpoint can lead to greater influence. Research from Wood et al. and Martin et al. is also used to highlight key findings on minority influence. Assessment Materials: Features exam practice questions that challenge students to apply their understanding of conformity and minority influence to hypothetical scenarios. For example, they are asked to explain how a small group of students could convince their peers to adopt an environmentally-friendly initiative using the key principles of minority influence. Critical Evaluation: Students are encouraged to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of research into minority influence, including the artificial nature of tasks like identifying the color of slides and the challenges of studying minority influence in real-world settings. This resource is ideal for both classroom teaching and independent study, equipping students with a comprehensive understanding of how minority groups can drive social change and influence majority opinions.
