Leads students through identifying series and parallel circuits with digrams on board. Activity for students to determine if circuits work or not (with reasons). Introduction to Amps. Plenary is exam style question

Designed to assist KS4 with introduction to quantitative chemistry. Covers the law of conservation of mass. Leads students through understanding formulae, identifying elements and atom count, and carries through to worked examples for Relative formula mass. Animated presentation assists students of all levels to understand balancing equations. Step by step guide with example workings to assist learners of different styles. Differentiated sheets for practising balancing equations. Discusses how matter can be lost via gas or gained via oxidation. Exam style question for plenary

Designed to teach KS4 about how to calculate resultant forces when the forces are non-collinear. Gives examples of when forces which occur in such a way. Animated guide to drawing a parallelogram as a worked example, colour coded for ease of viewing. Gives students past exam style questions for practise

Delivered to a year 9 KS4 class but can be altered for each year or ability. Introduces the students to the idea of fractions being hydrocarbons of similar length and propeties. Visual aids help the students to understand how chain length and intermolecular forces affect properties of the fractions. QR codes provided and link to youtube channels. Student lead activity to explain how fractional distilation occurs (chance to make model answers). Worksheet included for researching the fractions and their uses. Plenary is exam style questions

Designed for year 10 and 11 for the new AQA specification. Animated powerpoint designed to lead students through calculating resultant forces using right angle triangles. Introduction is a recap on resultant forces. Allows students to become confident with drawing ‘triangles of forces’ for diagonal resultant forces (animated answers to show the relevant forces) Shows how ‘alternate angles’ are used to help calculate angles. Worked examples of SOHCAHTOA to calculate angles and unknown forces Plenary is a worked exam style question.

Please see preview PDF as TES preview doesn’t support the powerpoint format. Delivered to years 10 and 11 top sets but can easily be altered for different abilities. Recaps balancing equations with visuals and worked examples, leads the students to understanding that equations represent the numbers of moles in a reaction. Worked example of reacting mass calculations to determine the amount of materials needed to provide a product (business context). Questions with answers for students to attempt. Plenary is exam style questions with answers.

Designed to the new specification for AQA. Can be adapted to suit student learning or teacher lead activities. Recently updated to include graph analysis Introduces respiration and discusses it’s role within cells. Slides lead the learner through discovering the equation and it’s comparison to photosynthesis. Real life application questions cover how exercising leads to anaerobic respiration. Foundation and Higher exam style questions attached to be used for practise / plenary.

(Apologies if the previews are faded colour or text, TES servers are having issues) Fully guided lesson that I delivered to year 9 and 10 for observations. Can be tailored for KS3 if needed. Friendly starter on matching parents to remind students of inherting factors. Using celebrities to engage students, the lesson leads through pheno and genotypes and the differences. Animations of gametes seperating allows the learners to follow the step by step process of how genes are inherted. Worksheets provided (differentiated) to allow students to attempt to calculate probability of children gaining eye colour. Introduces heterozygous and homozygous genes in context. Plenary is exam style question and homework supplied if needed.
