States of Matter and Density

(0)
This lesson looks enables pupils to explain the difference in densities for different states of matter. Pupils build on their knowledge of the arrangement of atoms in the different states to explain why solids usually have the highest densities. Pupils then go on to look at the calculation for density and are given different examples to apply their knowledge to. This resource includes a teacher powerpoint and differentiated pupil activities.

NEW AQA Biology - 4.3 Infection and Response Revision

NEW AQA Biology - 4.3 Infection and Response Revision

(0)
A set of revision resources for 4.3 - Infection and Response unit (new AQA GCSE scheme of work). The download includes a checklist to enable pupils to carry out independent revision prior to the revision lesson. During the lesson, pupils are given a set of questions as a starter to assess their understanding of the topic. Their answers to these will generate a revision pathway of different activities for them to complete within the lesson. Answers are also provided so that pupils may assess their own progress throughout. The concept of the revision lesson is easily adaptable to a range of topics and subjects (some of the Biology ones can be found in my TES store). I have been observed with this lesson by Ofsted and was judged 'outstanding' (when judgements were still given) due to the high level of personalisation it offers to each pupil.
