Complete lesson on the Ear and Hearing, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well. Includes various tasks and discussions around how hearing can be damaged. All answers are provided on the slides so students can self/peer assess. This lesson includes link to a videos to support learning. There is a differentiated worksheet on the structure of the ear and what each structure does. There is a low ability and high ability set of information sheets that can be printed on A3 and placed around the room for the students to use to fill in their worksheet. The lower ability information sheets are best printed in colour and have basic information on them needed to complete the diagram label and part and function match up. In contrast, the higher ability worksheet requires students to read a more detailed information sheet and extract the key information to include themselves when annotating the diagram.

KS3 lesson on Genetic modification, looking at what it is, some examples and then discussion on what the problems could potentially be with GMOs. Lesson includes video, discussion, questions and activity where students need to create a cartoon strip on how GMO are created. If you would like to use an alternative activity, you could get students researching and writing a newspaper article on GM crops and the advantages and disadvantages. This would however, require a second lesson with access to computers/GM research. Please leave a review and check out my other resources. Thanks

KS3 lesson on Colour with differentiated starter and questions to suit students off all abilities. Includes a couple of practical activities involving prisms, white light source and coloured filters. The practical is best done in a darkened room. There is opportunities for discussion, linking of the physics of light to everyday objects and deeper thinking all included within this lesson. The plenary is a challenge grid with 9 questions, students have 10 minutes to complete as many questions as they can. The questions get progressively more challenging. Answers are included on the final slide for students to self assess. The starter activity is to unscramble tiles, I have put a printable version at the front of the powerpoint (2 versions).

Attached are 5 lessons and worksheets for a very low ability Year 7 class on Electricity. Lessons are designed to go along with the worksheets. Practical activities need to be run alongside the lessons to support the learning. I can’t take credit for the worksheets as they were made by someone else. They were given to me by another teacher so I don’t know who made them to give them the credit. If you like the lessons, then please leave a review and view my other lessons and resources.
