Various resources that I have used over the course of 2 lessons to teach pupils about evolutionary trees to a KS4 mixed ability group. The poster needs to be printed on A3 if possible There is a presentation on how to read / interpret evolutionary trees plus some past paper questions. The presentation is in two different formats to prevent problems for those with older versions of PowerPoint

This lesson links to the new AQA physics / Trilogy GCSE. The resources give pupils the opportunity to use graphs to carry out data analysis and make conclusion from the data they find. The data is linked to domestic and global energy demands and the energy resources we use to provide these needs. One of the tasks includes a group activity where pupils need to present their findings. There is a starter to summarise environmental issues linked to use of fossil Fuels. The lesson also includes how fossil fuel and nuclear power stations generate electricity where pupils complete a sequencing activity.

A presentation and a couple of worksheets to guide students through the concept of electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. The presentation reminds pupils of OIL RIG and the electrical conductivity of ionic compounds before tackling the more challenging aspects of the topic

A fully resourced lesson starts with a word search to find elements from the Periodic Table. A quick recap of information students may be aware of from KS3 before discussing groups and periods. There is a colouring activity to label various sections of a Periodic Table that is then used to complete a group activity. A series of questions to challenge understanding is used to secure knowledge before a plenary that ask students to try and talk for as long as possible about what they have learnt about the Periodic Table

A presentation and worksheet about climate change and how it link to global warming. The presentation has an embedded video and various activites

A fully resources lesson with a presentation about the greenhouse effect. Keywords are discussed. The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect are introduced with an activity to research each gas and its effect. This lesson is suitable for KS3 and KS4

A summary of energy transfers for the physics P1 content - this summary is suitable for medium to low ability students. I have used this printed on A3 paper and it has kept students engaged for an extended time trying to fit in all the answers

A fully resourced lesson with assessment on the cracking of crude oil. The starter is a data analysis activity that links in to the leaning objective. Cracking of hydrocarbons is covered before pupils are asked questions on the reasons for the process and how it is carried out. The plenary is an assessment question.

A fully resourced lesson with various activities linked to the discovery and trends in properties of the noble gases. Also included an activity on the uses of noble gases

A presentation that links the structure of an atom to what is meant by a stable and unstable nucleus

A presentation with accompanying resources to teach about voltage in series and parallel circuit

A fully resourced lesson. Print out the leaflet as an A5 booklet. The presentation has slides that can be printed out and laminated if you wish, and then placed around the room for pupils to gather information from. The radiation cards act like A,B,C cards and can be used so pupils can show their response to the quiz at the end of the lesson

A fully resourced lesson on Predator Prey Cycles - linked to the new AQA 2016 syllabus. The lesson contains a graph plotting activity and various other activities on the presentation. Enough for more than one lesson of you can pick the activities that suit you best. I have included 2 version of the PowerPoint for those who have older versions that don't support some of the newer fonts

A lesson following on from the introduction of circuit symbol and simple circuits. Pupils are asked to interpret circuit diagrams and build given parallel and series circuits. The plenary tests understanding of the difference between parallel and series circuit diagrams

A presentation about the reactivity of metals with water, introducing the concept of reduction and oxidation in terms of oxygen
