This assembly takes a twist on the idea of setting resolutions that are usually broken. It starts with statistics on the most popular resolutions and the further statistics on how likely people are to stick to resolutions all in a very clear and colourful way. It then leads on to students setting a resolution to learn to fail and that breaking resolutions isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as they can learn from their mistakes and try again. It then goes on to go through some high profile case studies of successful people who have failed many times but not given up and learned from failure. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the new year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it especially when students got involved.

The start of this lesson involves a BIG write where students are provided with information on the water poisoning incident at Camelford and are asked with success criteria to explain how they could test to see if the water was safe to drink using knowledge from previous lessons in this topic. The second half of this lesson involves a learning check to see who is confident with writing and balancing symbol equations. On the back of this check confident students compete in a race with other groups of confident students to balance a series of ever increasingly hard equations. Students who are less confident work with the teachers in a focus group on balancing equation. I used this for an observed lesson and it worked really well.

This assembly starts by getting student to think about new years resolutions they made in 2020 and probably failed at. It then goes through a more sustainable long term 5 year plan and what this might look like for students. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the new year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it, especially when students got involved. Save yourself some time this Christmas and grab a bargain. Thanks Jonny

I presented this assembly to my house and it lasted about 15 minutes once everyone had come in and sat down. It starts with a video link to students trying to define what respecting others means. This then leads into thinking about what disrepect looks like from teachers to students and then vice versa to identify that it wouldn’t look much different. It then goes on to look at what disrespect of other students looks like. From this it then build on disrespect to discuss why respecting others is important and looks to define our school’s definition of respect ( you can obviously change this). Finally it looks at setting the students a challenge of creating their own school respect charter.

This assembly grabs the students attention with the first slide asking them to vote whether or not school should start at 10am instead of 8.50. The assembly goes on to look at the arguments for and against and the current research that is going on in the uk at the moment with 100 test school. I went on to tell them that unfortunately we haven't been selected for the trial but its findings could impact us. I then went on to say that until then they should take note of the sleep scientists top tips for a good night sleep which includes the science of blue light from mobile phone screens and its effect on the sleep hormone melatonin. This powerpoint lasts around 15minutes. Enjoy.

In this lesson students are given a range of cards with select information about different elements, just as Mendeleev had. They are then set the task of arranging the cards in anyway they see fit. They then look at how Mendeleev arranged them and used them to make predictions about missing elements which the students then do. The lesson concludes with a six mark question on how the periodic table is arranged. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

This lesson encourages students to question different aspects of the periodic table such as groups and periods and investigate patterns in properties of elements. All worksheets provided within power point except a periodic table which can easily be sourced online. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

I printed these cards of for students with corresponding pages in the Edexcel additional science book (purple one) and got them to answer the questions accordingly and in turn making their own flash cards. They then whole punched the corners and treasury tagged them together. Great little revision resource.

This assembly has a focus on the RAOK challenge - random acts of kindness and is planned to be around 15 minutes long. I played the video at the start to keep the students engaged as they entered and it worked really well. Half way through there is another video where people are asked if one person can change the world. My head boy and girl then took over reading a script provided, telling the story of a "RAOK" movement called the karma army (this could quite easily be done by yourself). The assembly concludes with ways in which the students can carry out random acts of kindness and also looking at school charities. Hope this is useful and saves you some time.

I used this assembly last September with my school assembly and it went down really well with the students really captivated by the story of David Phillips who managed to collected 1.25million air miles by buying puddings (look the story up on google - worth a read). Essentially, the powerpoint which lasts around 15minutes goes through David's story but then uses it as an analogy for "life miles" which they collect when they attend school, it goes through how to collect more " life miles" and shows you what you can buy with them which is essentially choices like university, dream jobs, travelling the world. Save yourself some time and effort and get this ready to use off the shelf assembly. Thanks for looking Jon

This lesson is intended for GCSE students at looks at what the atomic number and atomic mass tell us about the atom. It also looks at the idea of isotopes.

In this lesson students are challenged at 3 levels (lower, middle, higher) which is assessed throughout the lesson. Once the baseline has been assessed there differentiated worksheets for the lower ability to work with you on, a framed middle ability sheet to give them more practice on their own and a higher ability sheet to stretch the most able. Everything is built into this lesson, so grab yourself a bargain and save some time.

This group of powerpoints covers the Edexcel (9-1) specification for the electrolytic processes and covers all of the outcomes covered in the spec for this topic. N.B Many of the lessons include built in worksheets that can easily be printed off. Grab yourself a bargain and save yourself loads of time. Thanks for looking Jon

This is an introductory lesson to the concept of conservation of mass where students investigate what happens to the mass of water when salt is added to it. They then have to try and explain why the mass goes up despite not being able to see the salt anymore. Self contained lesson that really got the students engaged.
