Designed to be a first lesson with a year 7 class. I ran through all expectations and the 'five Bs'. I printed out a small copy (4 per a4 page) of the five Bs for them to glue on the inside cover of their books. I demonstrated hydrogen balloons to get them engaged and interested then asked them to answer safety questions. I then introduced the science safety passport. Students worked through the points in the passport, ticking them off (as a circus of activities).

A year 7 lesson designed as an introduction to some of the major organ systems. for the starter I drew an organ onto the torso and students wrote the name on their mini whiteboards.The idea of transplants and ethics is introduced. Slides 13 and 14 were printed onto one A4 sheet and given to all students. The statements were discussed as a class and students ticked the sheets. An opinion line was then formed in the class. Statements were discussed further to allow students to change their minds if they wished.
