Lesson plan Students copy out Group 7 in their book with most and least reactive labeled (5 minutes) Teacher presents first slide (showing the salt and halogen plus the addition of a new halogen e.g NaI + F2) Students write out the equation and write down the product they predict Teacher shows next slide with answer Contains 4 examples total (max 20 minute lesson)

Contains: structure of the heart, name of major vessels and chambers, oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, animations showing path of blood flow on both sides of the heart Image warning: Contains photographs of a lamb’s heart (from real classroom demonstration) for comparison with diagrams of the heart, making this resource ideal for remote learning during Covid-19 or a lesson where you are unable to do the actual demonstration. Suitable as a stretch and challenge lesson for Year 8 / KS3 (this is who I originally created the resource for) but also ideal for Year 10/11 GCSE Biology students as a first or second lesson on the Heart. Lesson plan Starter - recap activity on Gas Exchange/Respiration (5 minutes) Lab safety activity on board with answers on next slide (10 minutes) Heart Dissection Demonstration - ask a student to play the animation back and forth to show direction of blood flow while you demo the heart (15 - 20 minutes). Interesting things to show: the heart strings (students will enjoy pulling on this/trying to break them), the inside of the aorta (turn this inside out with your finger and ask students why it is mostly white/yellow in colour - fat). Fill-the-gap worksheet to summarise the names of each vessel, valves and sides of the heart (10 minutes). Answers are on the PowerPoint for self assessment at the end (2-3 minutes).

Differentiated by traffic light colours for students to choose (10 minutes) Additional plenary - Label parts of the respiratory system on board (1 minute)

Bundle of 5 recap/retrieval quizzes to be used with Year 12 A Level studying Biological Molecules (AQA Biology). How to use Use each 10 mark quiz at the end of each sub-topic (every week or two), allow students 6-7 minutes with no prior revision. If they need extra time, make a note on their page with the number of extra minutes rather than asking them to stop. Can be easily marked by yourself during the lesson - highlight errors and give hints, circle any question numbers that are wrong and return to the students. Track this on an Excel sheet throughout the year. I do not give the students a mark out of 10, as it is more beneficial to encourage them to just focus on the feedback that’s been written down and correct their answers, however I calculate a rough mark out of 10 based on number of mistakes and put this onto my marksheet. These are focused on AO1 knowledge and recall to help you see whether you need to recap any topics before moving onto the next lesson. Contains Carbohydrates, Enzymes, Lipids, DNA, Proteins.

PowerPoint and Information sheets for Year 8 / KS3 topic on Alcohol. Contains: short term and long term effects of alcohol, laws around drinking in the UK and risks of alcohol during pregnancy, followed by a class debate activity. Introduce lesson (5 - 10 minutes) Print off information sheets and arrange this as an information/treasure hunt around the classroom (15 - 20 minute independent or group task) Class debate (10 - 15 minutes) You can also use the information sheets as a class reading comprehension activity, since I have tailored the text to highlight scientific vocabulary alongside definitions. Refer to my other resources for a work booklet to go with this lesson, aimed at SEN or EAL students.

Lesson 1 - Chemical equations containing introduction to balancing equations and naming formulae Lesson 2 - Conversation of Mass containing animations/illustrations using see-saw example You can merge the lessons together if you have a double lesson or lesson longer than 50 minutes. Suitable for Year 8 / KS3 Chemistry Lesson plan - merging Lesson 1 and 2 Starter - Using the periodic table for the first time to identify chemical symbols for elements (5 - 10 minutes) Main - Introduction to balancing equations with see-saw animation, periodic table diagram explaining how charges work, results table for lead nitrate/potassium iodide demonstration, conservation of mass questions (in grams), balancing equation GCSE style questions (20 - 40 minutes) Plenary - Bingo 3x3 square in books - students write down chemical symbols, teacher reads out the word formula/common name and students must identify which symbol it correlates with (10 minutes)

Contains: Waves (transverse, longitudinal, diagram of a wave), reflection and refraction of light, practical activity on reflection and refraction with directions on how to draw rays of reflection and incidence. Suitable for Year 8 or 9 KS3 Physics Unit on Waves. I recommend leaving aside 20 minutes for the refraction practical (mirror, lens or prism, lightbox and piece of paper, lights switched off in lab) This is a unit of 3 lessons, with 3 separate PowerPoints, including detailed instructions on how to complete the practical activities, making this an ideal resource for remote learning during Covid-19, or for student teachers who are looking for guidance on how to conduct the practicals. Free SEN help sheet and word search included in this bundle.

AO1 knowledge and recall reading log questions designed to be used alongside the Oxford AQA A Level Biology textbook. Contains Questions and mark schemes for Inorganic ions, Water, ATP How to use Students can either do this as an independent revision activity in class with a textbook next to them, or as a quiz/assessment to check their AO1 knowledge and recall. I use these as a quiz to check that students have been doing their pre-reading from the textbook before a lesson. Each set of questions will take 15 - 20 minutes max Students should be able to find the exact answers in the textbook as these questions have been written chronologically according to the textbook pages Students can self assess with the mark scheme documents at the end (print and hand out after 20 minutes)
