A lesson to cover the ways of studying the brain part of the Biopsychology topic in A Level Psychology. This series includes links to videos, kahoots, quizzes and extra information. Can be used by students as revision or taught in class. Written to show students what they should know as a result of their GCSE science, recapping and building upon this knowledge. Covers both the AS Level and A Level specification.

This is based on the Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Text books. It includes what pages are relevant for those on Triple Science (higher tier) , what required practicals are and key vocabulary for each topic. I use these as a introduction to new topics and throughout the unit. Students are able to tick lessons as they complete them and ensure they know the required vocabulary. They help students to target their revision and understand what they need to do to catch up if they miss lessons.

This is a task sheet designed to last an entire lesson. I developed this for cover work but have also used this in a teacher led lesson. The sheet contains the key information for the lesson and a variety of tasks for the students to complete. The tasks follow a difficulty level ladder based on Blooms but adapted to the Science classroom: Recall (simplest) Understand Apply Analyse Evaluate Create (hardest) The lessons follow the Activate KS3 book scheme.

A lesson tying into photosynthesis and increasing photosynthesis to maximise crop yield.

This is a lesson designed to be woven into GCSE Science to help students apply their learning and think more about how their learning works in other ways. This lesson is designed to slot in the homeostasis or the inheritance, variation and evolution topics. It is designed to help students to understand the area in more depth and apply science to their life. It also aims to give an appreciation of how varied science can be – it’s not all biology, chemistry and physics! This lesson can also be used as a taster session for Psychology or as an introduction to Psychology following the completion of GCSEs.

This group of resources has been created for use as induction to science work for year 6 students preparing for secondary school. They can generally be used by KS2 and KS3 students (years 3 to 8) though. Rainbow in a Jar: In Science, one of the things we learn is density in solids and liquids. Some liquids don’t mix because they are more or less dense than others. By colouring them with dye, you can create a rainbow!

Slides and worksheet for an A Level lesson. Looks at lateralisation of brain function and Sperry’s study of split brain patients.

A complete revision pack for revision of the Biopsychology unit in AQA Psychology A Level. For each lesson there is a slide of quick questions, a slide of key information, a slide with a past exam question and a slide with the mark scheme.

A complete revision pack for revision of the Forensic Psychology unit in AQA Psychology A Level. For each lesson there is a slide of quick questions, a slide of key information, a slide with a past exam question, a slide with the mark scheme and a slide for essay planning. Those lessons not being assessed in 2022 are clearly marked.

Revision notes/knowledge organiser to cover the 2022 Combined Science Biology material to be assessed at higher tier. Unassessed material removed and key for assessment material highlighted clearly.

A series of short recall questions covering the whole A Level Approaches in Psychology unit (AS and A2). Uploaded in both powerpoint and word documents for use either in class or at home.

This is based on the Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Text books. It includes what pages are relevant for those on Foundation Science, Trilogy (foundation tier) , what required practicals are and key vocabulary for each topic. I use these as a introduction to new topics and throughout the unit. Students are able to tick lessons as they complete them and ensure they know the required vocabulary. They help students to target their revision and understand what they need to do to catch up if they miss lessons.

Lesson slides looking at the cross-section of a leaf and how leaves are adapted to increase photosynthesis.

A list of what lessons need to be learnt at each level (triple, combined higher and combined foundation). Based on the Collins text books.

A booklet and presentation for use across a number of lessons. Aimed at independent work or for a low ability class. I have used this with a mid-ability year 7 class and a low-ability year 8 as well as using it as independent work at GCSE.

Two lessons on renewable and non-renewable resources. Structure provided for a research task for a presentation and debate on different energy supplies.

A list of what lessons need to be learnt at each level (triple, combined higher and combined foundation). Based on the Collins text books.

This is a complete lesson looking at diversity within psychology. If focuses on BAME, disability and LGBTQ+. Personally I am uploading this for students to do as a self-taught lesson but this would be easily deliverable in the classroom too. No worksheets are needed.
