A full lesson based on the OCR-A SOW. The lesson introduces the carbon cycle and students apply their learning to a past paper question. After this students are handed a table to fill in as you work through slides detailing the nitrogen cycle. This is then peer assessed prior to students attempting 2 more past paper questions based on the nitrogen cycle. All answers incorporated into the slides, timers used to promote pace.

A full revision lesson with everything you need to revise activate P1.3 (year 7). This lesson is tailored specifically towards the checkpoint test.

A complete lesson for potential difference and resistance tailored towards AQA but can be used for any SOW. Animations are used to support Q/A during correction of answers and timers are included to promote pace. Includes theory, learning checkpoint, practical activity, example questions with learning checkpoint and plenary. Just add voltmeters, ammeters, power packs and variable resistors from the tech’s and you have all you need for the lesson.

A full lesson introducing the topic of ecosystems. The lesson is based on the OCR-A SOW but can be used for others. The lesson introduces key words relating to ecosystems through video, and has a simple match up activity to allow for AFL. Students then learn about biotic and abiotic factors making use of examples. They then participate in an activity where they must correctly categorise factors as biotic and abiotic from the board. A past exam question is included as a 'stretch question' to reinforce learning at this point. Students are then introduced to food chains, webs and trophic levels prior to a final 'question grid challenge' with differentiated questions based on the learning objective of the lesson. The plenary is based on reflective writing, where students gauge their progress towards the lessons learning objectives, and how they can improve.

A full differentiated lesson based on the OCR-A SOW and delivered to an A2 class. The lesson covers eating and exercise and their effects on blood glucose, the pancreas, islet of Langerhans and the effects of insulin and glucagon. Student understanding is assessed by a differentiated question grid challenge (answers included). The lesson then progresses to cover negative feedback, and the depolarisation of beta cells with a simple reorder task for AFL afterwards (answers included). A PP question is included for further application of knowledge/AFL (answers included). The plenary is based on student reflection upon their progress against the learning objectives. Timers are included to promote pace.

A complete lesson for parallel circuits tailored towards AQA but can be used for any SOW. Animations are used to support Q/A during correction of answers and timers are included to promote pace. Includes theory, learning checkpoint, practical activity, example questions with learning checkpoint and plenary. Just add voltmeters, bulbs, ammeters and power packs from the tech’s and you have all you need for the lesson.

A full differentiated lesson based on the OCR-A SOW. This lesson was used by myself for an A2 class but the content is simple enough for AS. The lesson covers sigmoidal population growth curves, abiotic and biotic limiting factors, migration and density independent factors. Student understanding is then checked through the use of a differentiated question grid tailored to the lessons LO. Students are then introduced to intra and interspecific competition using examples. The red/grey squirrel example is discussed. Students then apply their learning to 2 exam style questions. The plenary is based upon the students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives. All answers are included within the slides facilitating self/peer marking, timers are included to promote pace.

A full lesson based on the Activate 1 (WS 1.3) SOW but can be used for others. This lesson covers experimental variables, recording data, calculating the mean and graph drawing. The main activity involves students doing a simple experiment (2 different types of ball and meter rulers required), recording their results and drawing a bar chart. The plenary is based on students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives.

A full differentiated lesson based on the Edexcel SOW but can be used for others. The lesson covers the stages of each cycle, the levels of oestrogen, FSH, LH and progesterone during each stage as well as the function of each hormone. A worksheet exercise and a differentiated question grid are used to check student understanding at separate stages within the lesson. A reflective plenary is included. All answers are incorporated into the slides and timers are used to promote pace. No planning required.

A complete differentiated lesson with everything you need for ions and ionic lattices. Tailored towards Edexcell but can be used for any SOW.

A full lesson with everything you need for covalent bonds. Based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for others. Animations and timers included to promote pace and Q/A during self or peer mediated correction of answers. Differentiated question grid included which also promotes challenge. Reflective plenary included based on progress against LO’s.

A complete lesson based on 3 key areas within OCR chemistry C3. This lesson was produced for a high ability year 11 group during exam intervention, differentiation through the use of the included support sheets would facilitate use with lower abilities. It covers the following: percentage yield and atom economy, reaction masses (calculations) and batch vs. continuous processing . The lesson contains timers to promote pace and is fully animated to allow a Q/A session during peer assessment of answers after each learning checkpoint. The plenary is designed to guide students to reflect on their progress/emerging needs.

The free resource that precedes this lesson can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gene-expression-lac-operon-complete-lesson-a2-11780445 This particular lesson expands on the previous two to cover the response of genes to stimuli, the types of genetic mutation and neutral, beneficial and harmful mutations. All answers are incorporated into the slides or attached in the included mark scheme.

A full lesson with everything you need for stored energies. Based on Edexcell SOW but can be used for others. Makes use of the ‘triangle’ method to simplify equations, uses timers to promote pace and has PowerPoint animations to support Q/A during peer/self correction of answers.

A full lesson based on the OCR-A SOW but can be used for others. The lesson covers meiosis in sexual reproduction and the stages of meiosis 1 and 2. Students are directed to take note of key sections using red font. Students then apply their knowledge to a card sort activity which can be glued to A3 paper to create a revision resource on meiosis. The lesson then progresses to cover ‘cross over’ and ‘independent assortment’ ahead of PP questions and a final reflective plenary. All answers are included into the slides for each activity allowing for self/peer correction. Timers are included to promote pace.

A full differentiated lesson covering ‘Ecosystems and interaction between organisms’ form the Edexcel GCSE specification but can be used for others. The lesson covers key definitions, interdependence, abiotic vs biotic factors and touches on energy transfer in ecosystems. Differentiated tasks included throughout with answers included for ease of use.
