Save yourself countless hours of A level teaching prep with this whole topic done for you! Following the AQA A Level Environmental Science specification, this is Module 1.1 - Conditions for life on Earth. You need minimal prep with this bundle, just download and start teaching! To support your students further, I would also recommend uploading to Google Classroom/Microsoft Teams for them to access when at home/if they have missed a lesson and need to catch up. I have included in this topic bundle: A scheme of work for your reference, including spec link, homework and page numbers from the I&P textbook. A printable page for students with the lesson titles listed, along with the spec link and a RAG analysis for them to be self-reflective. Editable PPT’s for the 4 lessons included. These are on a simple template and ready to be adapted for your needs (if necessary). Homework reminders within the PPT’s. Exam strategy is included where relevant. Homework tasks (one that requires printing). Answers to exam questions included. Lesson 2 would require student access to a laptop/device. I would estimate that the module covers 4-5 hours worth of A level teaching.

This engaging lesson is an introduction to KS3 aerobic respiration. If you are looking for a complete lesson plan, with no prep to do apart from printing some worksheets out, then this is a perfect lesson for you! Even better, this is lesson one in a whole unit of lessons that you can mix and match, buying what you want or make a saving by purchasing the complete unit as a bundle. In this complete lesson, students will learn: The definition & function of aerobic respiration. The word & symbol equation for aerobic respiration. That respiration occurs in plants and animals. Where in the cell respiration occurs. The lesson itself includes the following activities: A 6 question ‘beat the grid’ activity, designed as a retrieval activity to get students thinking about cell structure at the start of the lesson. Self-assessed definition writing task. An engaging video. Mini-quizzes to check student understanding throughout the lesson. A worksheet to recap what has been covered. A review activity: if this is the answer - what is the question? The resources includes: A PPT presentation (26 slides) 2 worksheets that are referenced in the PPT. A keyword list for use in this lesson and the rest of the unit of work (you can find this in my store or purchase the whole unit as a bundle).

This KS3 worksheet is a literacy task based around the theme of electricity - specifically showing understanding of Series and Parallel circuits. I decided to make this a bit more fun by adding a Christmas theme! (who doesn’t love Christmassy sparkly lights?!) The whole task is based around the question: ’Why do we use parallel circuits in Christmas lights instead of series circuits?' The worksheet is then chunked into three tasks - firstly drawing circuit diagrams and stating the difference in brightness of the bulbs. Secondly, writing bullet points to explain what happens if a bulb breaks in a series vs parallel circuit. Lastly is pulling this information together to write their answer. They should use the keywords provided and make sure they PEE (point, explain, evidence!). My students really enjoyed this task and it easily allowed for differentiation between the different abilities in my class. It also includes a super fast feedback sheet (I print this off double-sided with the worksheet). This includes a check list of what students have included or missed - you simply tick what they have done and highlight what they missed (or write in the space provided any individual feedback). There is then a space for the students to complete a response to your feedback. If you are looking for something literacy based to use in your science classroom this Christmas season, then check this resource out!

Designed for introducing your KS3 students to ecosystems and the idea of human impacts on ecosystems, this includes plastics in the oceans and the impacts of agriculture. This lesson plan is fully prepped covering key vocabulary and teaching students how population sizes of predators and prey are connected. What is included: In this file you get the lesson powerpoint and a corresponding keyword list with definitions included, you also get a knowledge organiser to help students throughout the topic. I have left the design simple but editable - this is due to schools in my area having specific requirements around colours and fonts. Independent research and opinion forming: This lesson has a research task (sources provided). The students will read about various impacts of human activity on ecosystems. They will then be asked to form an opinion about human activities and their impacts. The lesson plan follows the following 4 phase structure: Activate: 6 recall questions designed to get the students either retrieving previous knowledge linked to this or prior topics. These have been designed with my students in mind - they may look different for your students! Model: Set the scene for the lesson and outline key new knowledge. Show students how to approach a question or task. Practice: Give the students opportunities to use the new knowledge provided and attempt the tasks modelled in phase 2. Review: Check students grasp of new concepts with a quick review activity. On the first page of the PowerPoint, there is a link to a Google Drive containing the same resources just in case you teach in a Google school! Please note: This lesson is the second lesson in a topic covering ecosystems. You can get the first lesson for free by clicking the link below: FREE: Lesson 1 - Introduction to Ecosystems Lesson 2 which covers food chains and webs, can be found here. Lesson 3 which teaches students about predator prey relationships can be found here.

This photosynthesis assessment and feedback lesson is designed to help you and your students. You save time by marking one piece of work for this topic. The students benefit by getting specific and detailed feedback over what they are getting right, and what they need to work on. Marking is time consuming, and often does not benefit anyone. However, with this task, students will answer a detailed task to showcase what they know. There is also a success criteria they can use as a checklist to ensure they include all the detail needed. There is then space for teacher feedback (or peer feedback if you wish!), along with space for the student to address what they missed/got incorrect. When I use this resource I will spend one lesson on completing the task, and the start of another lesson for students to address the feedback I have provided. If when you are marking, you notice a lot of students are making the same mistake, you could plan to re-teach that and help all your students to make positive progress! Included in this resource is: Double sided assessment - page 1 is the task and space for the student to answer, page 2 includes the success criteria along with space for the teacher to leave comments and the student to respond and correct any work. Keyword linking activity (and model answers for the teacher to use) Photosynthesis themed word search (with answers) I hope your students find these worksheets useful!
