Lesson Objectives State what pollination is. Describe the process of wind and insect pollination. Explain how flowers are adapted for pollination. Keywords Pollen Anther Stigma Style Ovary Ovule

Pupils’ starting point, prior or prerequisite knowledge: KS2: Life cycles Pupils learn that plants and animals reproduce as part of their life cycle and that in every life cycle there are distinct processes and stages. They begin to understand how reproduction is important to the survival of the species. KS3: Previous lessons about pollination and structures of a plant. Possible misconceptions about: Seeds/pollen being the same thing All seeds need the same requirements (not sure going to go into that much detail) – all need the same basic requirements however. Detail of key science concepts or skills: Plants need air, water, warmth, and light to be able to grow. A seed has three main parts: embryo – the young root and shoot that will become the adult plant food store – starch for the young plant to use until it is able to carry out photosynthesis seed coat – a tough protective outer covering Inquiry question/s: What conditions are needed for seeds to germinate? What conditions are needed for plants to grow? Pupil learning objectives/outcomes/success criteria: By the end of the lesson the pupils will be able to: Objectives: • What do plants need to grow? • Which conditions are needed for germination to happen? Outcomes: • State the basic requirements for plant growth. • Describe the conditions needed for germination to happen. • Carry out an experiment to investigate the conditions needed for germination to happen.

Lesson plan, power point and worksheet to accompany the lesson. Lesson Objectives (Bloom’s) 1. Remember: Name the first four alkanes and alkenes 2. Apply and Understand: Draw the structural formula, and write the molecular formula of these compounds 3. Analyse: Explain the difference between an alkane and an alkene AQA Specification Points Covered 1. The first four members of the alkanes are methane, ethane, propane and butane. 2. Alkane and alkene molecules can be represented in the following forms: written molecular formulae, or displayed structural formulae 3. Alkenes are hydrocarbons with a double carbon-carbon bond. 4. The first four members of the homologous series of alkenes are ethene, propene, butene and pentene.

A worksheet designed to help students work through creating word, symbol, and balanced symbol equations

This resource provides a method, apparatus list, analysis questions, and sample exam-style questions for students to answer.

This resource provides a method, apparatus list, analysis questions, and sample exam-style questions for students to answer.

A practical lesson resource that has five different tests for students to complete. The recommended time for this practical is 45 minutes with a competent class. Comes with a teacher sheet that has: - answers to the questions on the worksheet - equipment list - chemical suggestions

This is a lesson based on the old chemistry AQA GCSE, however it is still relevant to the new GCSE, and some aspects of the KS3 curriculum. This is a practical based lesson, where students are able to make copper sulfate crystals. The lesson length at my school is 45 minutes, so the step for acquiring the crystals from solution was skipped, but if you have a longer lesson you can easily add it in. Content covered, or re-capped: - Balancing equations - Making salts from metals and bases - Endothermic/Exothermic Reactions Contains numeracy (e.g. balancing equations) and literacy (e.g. key words anagrams) tasks too!
