Based on the AQA specification (new specification), but would work for other exam boards. The lessons start with 'menst side story' (embedded in the PowerPoint) where the hormones play characters and the students answer questions based on the story. Students go on to build a model of the graph of the different hormone. In the contraception lesson, the students assume the roles of the hormones (and other characters) to explain how a contraceptive method works as a peer teaching exercise. Fertility treatment lesson is a debate lesson. All lessons are fully differentiated to three levels of difficulty and include opportunities to explore exam command words. Suggested home works are included, as well as information of resources required, specification references and alternative approaches, where appropriate.

topics include: refraction (yr 8), the eye (year 8), cells, acids and alkalis (yr 7) and forces and motion (year 7) useful for revision or as a plenary desired otucome is consolidation of previously learnt material

for a medium to low ability class. the one leabelled 'les' just has fewer cells in it for lower ability. This could be differentiated further by taking out other cells. I reckonit would be good for a revision lesson or a homework. The students can sort the labels into at table, labelled &'cell&'; (picture), 'function&' and &';adaptations'.

differentiated for low ability and middle ability with a hihger ability challenge thrown in. Answers on bottom slide

I'm hoping this is adequately differentiated with opportunity for progress. Any suggested improvements very welcome

this is good for a revision session at the end of the alcohols topic or pre-exam/test. Comments welcome as always

I would be grateful for feedback on any mistakes and for the differentiation, in particular. Any other feedback also very welcome.

obviously, any feedback most welcome, especially with regard to the differentiation

I've left the page reference blank so you can put in your own (depending on the text you use)

thanks, Jane for the comment, Hopefully the worksheet is now improved I reckon that the worksheet would take about 20-25 minutes or even longer

this could also be called verbal tennis/ hockey or whatever, depending on the sex distribution of your class. I have graded the teacher questions so that you have the option to choose which member of the team answers. as always, any comments or suggested improvements are greatly appreciated

again, this covers a variety of functional groups. ideas for use are included in the word document

this is about general AS organic chemistry (not just alkanes and alkenes)

any improvements to this or other ideas welcome!

for various complicated reasons, I am currently home-schooling both my children, aged 10 and 7, and found that this differentiated task worked well for both. Suggested answers are included, along with a suggested website. Good as a revision or overview activity.
