This lesson revolves around a practical where students have to experimentally determine which site of salt production presents the best yield of salt. Students then use their results to calculate the concentration in g/dm. This is then built on in the following lesson to calculate mol/dm. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

Lesson 1 looks at investigating through a practical why some waters lather better than others and concludes with a BIG write/6 mark question that has success criteria which can be readily marked by yourself or the students. Lesson 2 - Introduces students to the idea of calculating concentrations of solute in solutions. All worksheets are provided. Save yourself some time and grab a bargain.

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. Save yourself some time and hassle and grab yourself a bargain.

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 base jumpers which worked really well at keeping all the students quiet as they walked in. It also sets up nicely for learning to fail as these guys clearly can't fail, but in school failure is all part of learning and so students should embrace failure. The assembly then goes through the endeavors of famous people who have dealt with failure numerous times and moved on from these set backs and learnt from them successfully. It finishes by suggesting a "a fail Friday" where across the school students and teachers alike are encouraged to take risks in lessons and step outside if their comfort zones. Save yourself some time planning and grab yourself a bargain.

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 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

Please find a whole lesson I taught on velocity time graphs which is designed for the new GCSE specification. Enjoy

This assembly starts with some nice optical illusions which leads on to the concept of perception. It then looks at various stereotypes in school such as Jocks, Class Clown etc and looks at the qualities of each, and asks students how they would like their peers to perceive them. It then looks at how future education or employment would perceive them looking at the information the school would provide them with - Attendance, behavior points, achievement points, GCSE's and the qualities these would show if they were good. It also considers social media and how students should be aware of what they post now could be seen by future employers. The last few slides are to be filled in by me as they are specific to my school where I will be going over the best attendance, behaviour etc in the past month to hand out a reward. This assembly lasts 15 minutes Save yourself an afternoon planning and grab a bargain. Thanks for looking.

This assembly worked really well, opening with a slide asking if students believed in Karma. It then goes on through various consequences of actions and how scientifically the teen brain is not always capable of thinking about long term consequences, but that students still have to take responsibility for their action. It lasted 15 minutes and was received well. Grab yourself a bargain and save yourself an afternoon of planning. Enjoy

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.

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 as an introduction to a new whole school drive on improving students numeracy through a tutor time activity called the maths Olympics. The assembly starts with a video which shows photos of a boy from birth to 11. The students were mesmerised by it and it meant they all came in nice and calmly. The assembly looks at the number of days and hours students have been alive and what they have done with their time and focuses on the importance of having a growth mind set to make the most of their time. The assembly lasts around 15 minutes and worked really well. Enjoy

This resource includes 4 powerpoint based lessons with worksheets integrated into the powerpoint so you can print them off easily. I have created it based on the new national curriculum framework which appears to be bringing a lot of content down from the KS4 curriculum. This is followed by a fifth assessment based lesson where students complete a level assessed task. Each powerpoint contains footnotes to explain what should be done if it is not obvious. Each powerpoint is planned to take between 50 and 60 minutes and includes plenty of student lead learning and many opportunities for assessing student learning throughout the lessons. Thank you for looking.
