Lesson 4 in the year 7 metals topic looking at displacement reactions of metals. After learning about what a displacement reaction is, students complete a practical and use their observations to determine the order of reactivity of their sample metals. Students also learn about the applications of displacement reactions e.g. sacrificial metals on oil rigs.

In lesson 5 of the Magnetism and Electromagnetism unit (AQA specification 4.7.3.1 to 4.7.3.3), students recap what they learned about the motor effect and the electric motor in lessons 3 and 4 with recall Q and go onto learn about induced potential and the Generator Effect. Ideally this theory should be taught in part through demonstration and diagrams and instructions for these are included. All lesson powerpoints begin with a question/task to engage students as soon as they enter the classroom, clearly defined learning objectives and opportunity to recall and apply to the exam what they have learned throughout. There are also teacher notes in the notes sections of the slides where relevant for teachers who may be less confident with the material.

Lesson 3 in year 7 cells topic looking at the microscope - its discovery and the main functional parts. Students learn how to use a microscope, why we need them and how to prepare a slide to observe under a microscope. They will also learn how to compare a labelled image of a cell to their own specimen and identify main cell features. Method for practical is included. Lesson ppt includes diagram for students to label and wordfill on preparing a microscope slide (both ready to print).

Lesson 2 in the year 7 metals topic looking at the reactivity series of metals. Students learn about the reactivity of group 1, 2 and transition metals. Students complete a practical observing different metal reactions and determine, based on their observations, the order of reactivity of their sample metals.

Lesson 6 in the year 7 metals topic looking at reacting metals with oxygen. Students complete a practical where they burn magnesium in air and compare the mass of the magnesium before burning to the mass of magnesium oxide after the reaction. Students write a word equation for the reaction and use this to explain why the mass of the magnesium has increased after the burning.

Lesson 1 in the year 7 metals topic looking at where we find metals. Students learn where metals come from, get to 'mine' for metal ores using basic tools and discuss their position on mining.

Lesson 5 in the year 7 metals topic looking at alloys and corrosion. Students learn about alloys, their properties compared to pure metals and conditions for corrosion. They set up a longer term practical using nails in test tubes to test for the ideal conditions for iron nails to rust. This can be left and monitored over several weeks.

Lesson 7 in the year 7 metals topic looking at testing samples to identify metal ions. Students complete flame tests and precipitate tests to identify different metal ion samples. they also learn and discuss applications of these reactions e.g. fireworks.

Lesson 3 in the year 7 metals topic looking at the extraction of different metals. Students learn about the blast furnace and electrolysis and why each is used to extract different metals based on their relative reactivity.

In lesson 12 of the electricity unit students learn about where electricity is generated and how it gets to our homes, as well as about the role of transformers in reducing energy losses. There are a number of videos in this lesson to get students engaged and thinking about the implications of not having electricity at all or not having centralised supplies of electrical energy. There is an exam question worksheet also attached with answers. If your school has the equipment, it is also nice to have a mini set up of the key parts of the national grid as well as examples of what transformers look like on a basic level. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

In lesson 3 of the electricity unit students look at the relationship between charge, current and time and complete practice calculations. Example questions are included in the slides and there is also a worksheet. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

In lesson 6 of the electricity unit students discover the rules of resistance in series and parallel circuits while developing their practical skills. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

In lesson 4 of the electricity unit students discover the rules for potential difference in both series and parallel circuits while developing their practical skills. They then complete a worksheet to consolidate their understanding of both current and potential difference rules in series and parallel circuits. Answers are included in the slides. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

In lesson 5 of the electricity unit students learn about the relationship between electrical power, current and voltage. The lesson comes with two worksheets, one recapping current and voltage in series and parallel and the other on power, current and voltage. All answers are on the slides. There is also a slide for a practical activity to calculate the power of an electric motor through measurign the current and voltage. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

In lesson 10 of the electricity unit students learn about different types of variable resistor - thermistors and LDRs. The powerpoint is split into two lessons both with a practical activity and with learning objectives, starter and plenary slides for each. However, you could do the two lessons in one if you omitted either or both of the practical activities. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

In lesson 9 of the electricity unit students learn about the relationship between power and resistance through practical investigation. They then use their knowledge of previously learnt equations to figure out the equation relating power, current and resistance. There are examples and practice questions in the slides to consolidate students' understanding. All lesson power points have a slide with clearly defined lesson objectives at the start.

Lesson 5 in year 7 cells topic looking at specialised cells. Students build on their learning of standard cell features to think about how cells have different specialisations for different functions. Lesson ppt includes a worksheet for students to complete using information slides which you can put around the classroom.

Lesson 6 in year 7 cells topic looking at how and why cells divide. Students learn about the two forms of cell division, what each is for, where each occurs inthe body and why they need to be different. Ppt includes links to videos you may wish to use to go into more detail but they are geared to a slightly higher level than KS3.

Lesson 7 in year 7 cells topic looking at how structures come together from the sub-cellular level to form an entire organism. Students identify organs from different organ systems of the human body, then focus on the digestive system. There are info cards on the different parts of the digestive system to put around the room as well as a premade template for students to complete using this information (both included in ppt). Also attached is a worksheet for students to label on the key parts of the digestive system.
