NEW GCSE 2016 Coronary Heart Disease (previously Artificial or Real) - Based on the AQA Specification - this lesson covers: - when artificial hearts, valves, stents and blood are used. - how artificial aids can prolong life. - evaluating the use of artificial aids to circulation to prolong life. This lesson includes: - Home learning activity - Starter activity and worksheets (adapted from a creative commons free resource on TES, thank you!)

Orginally designed for a high ability year 8 group to cut and stick the organisms, drawing lines to show the feeding relationships. The blank card was left for the pupils to draw the sun, but this could be taken out/sun drawn on for the pupils depending on ability. This activity was also used with an SEN year 9 class for revision. The cards were laminated and cut out for them, as were the arrows. Pupils then sorted the cards into simple food chains and expanded as they wished - these were then noted down in their books.

Designed for a second set year 10 class as an introduction to genetic engineering. This was run as a cut and stick activity, but if it was printed in colour it could be done as a card sorting activity, also. Please rate & comment as appropriate.

A simple method for pupils to follow - designed for high ability year 8 group, but the images would allow for differentiation for lower ability groups. I have designed the worksheet just to give the simple method which will be used by pupils to determine which pen was used to write a 'mystery note'.

Year 7 lesson as an introduction to the concepts of tissues & organs. Students watch the video about the F1 pitstop team as an introduction. Students then copy down the diagram and complete the CLOZE passage. Students are introduced to the location of some of the major organs of the body by completing a cut and stick exercise. I also used a model of the human body to help illustrate this. As a plenary, students vote of true/false questions - could also be done with red/green cards. Please rate é comment as appropriate.

Lesson plan and activities based around dinosaur extinction theories. Students look at a number of theories, summarise them and then prepare an argument as to which theory they believe to hold the most weighting. Allows students to develop skills in scientific explanations (in particular justification).

Lesson plan and activities for year 8 food webs and feeding relationships. Contains a cut and stick activity which could be used for display purposes and/or peer assessment.

The lesson involves students recapping knowledge on cells and specialised cells from the first part of the unit. They then make plasticine models of the reproductive organs and label diagrams of the reproductive organs. Students can then be given the opportunity to improve their models. The lesson ends with a mini-whiteboard plenary. Please rate & comment as appropriate.

The idea of cell division is discussed as a starter. Students then look at pre-prepared slides of cells at different stages of division and try to determine the correct order. There is a slide with cells at different stages of division also, if pre-prepared slides are not available. Students attempt to determine the order. The lesson ends with a discussion of the big question. Please rate & comment as appropriate.
