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.

A full, differentiated lesson for the topic of mixtures. The lesson is based on the activate SOW and was designed for a year 8 class however, the lesson is transferable to other SOW and groups depending on ability. The lesson includes a simple practical activity where students design their own methods to separate the different components of 3 mixtures. Timers are included to promote pace, and PowerPoint animations facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.

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 complete lesson covering the topic of the cell cycle and mitosis. The lesson is tailored towards OCR-A and includes the content required for AS/A2. Past paper questions used at 2 separate learning checkpoints with the answers incorporated into the slides. PowerPoint animations are included to facilitate questioning during the review of answers and timers are included to promote pace.

A complete lesson on energy dissipation tailored towards the AQA SOW. Covers useful energy, wasted energy and friction with a learning checkpoints based on a past exam question. The ‘spreading out’ (dissipation) of energy is then covered ahead of a simple practical activity where students use pulleys to investigate friction and its effect upon work done. Follow up questions and answers included to facilitate peer or self marking after practical. Originally this lesson was planned fora high ability year 10 group, but has been used with year 9 group with no problems.

Complete lesson based on the Activate 2 SOW - includes everything you need.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of evaporation and distillation. This lesson is based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. Support sheets and stretch activities facilitate the progress of more and less able throughout the lesson. This slide set can work with, or without a demonstration of distillation equipment. Answers to learning checkpoints are incorporated into the slide set via power point animation and the inclusion of timers promotes pace.

A complete differentiated lesson (including practical) based on the activate 2 'acid and metals' content. The lesson includes and introduction to the topic, outline of practical, prediction/conclusion writing and a differentiated question grid 'challenge' to act as a plenary. Timers are included to promote pace and all answers are incorporated into the slides via animation. This lesson was delivered to a year 8 group, all abilities supported.

A complete lesson on metals and oxygen based on the activate 2 SOW. The lesson includes a practical demonstration where students fill in a observation sheet and produce (simple) balanced equations. If you can get pure oxygen from the techies you can really promote a love of learning with this. A choice of 2 plenaries are included, reflective writing or whiteboard based. Answers to each learning checkpoint are incorporated into the slides via animation. Timers are included to promote pace.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of metal displacement reactions. The content is based on the activate 2 SOW and is therefore tailored to a year 8 group. The lesson includes the practical, support sheets and stretch activities for high ability students. The plenary is conducted using whiteboards; students write out the equations they have studied during the practical - they are scaffolded up to this. All answers are included into the slides through animation, timers are included to promote pace.

A full lesson on ‘filtration’ based on the activate 2 SOW and pitched to a year 8 group. The lesson includes a simple practical where students separate rocks and salt through filtration. Numeracy based ‘power cards’ are included to better support the less able during the method writing section. A differentiated question grid is included as a follow up activity, this can be used to push both less and more able, or alternatively as a competition between boys and girls. A choice of two plenaries are included. As always, powerpoint timers and animations are included to promote pace and Q/A during the review of answers.

A full differentiated lesson on the gas exchange system. The lesson is tailored to the Activate 1 textbook topic B2.2 but can be used for others. Includes an activity where students make use of straws, raisins and cocktail sticks to model the respiratory system. PowerPoint timers and animations are included to promote pace and self/peer mediated correction of answers.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of states of matter. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 (C1.2) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson includes a card sort, written activities and a practical exercise where students study the change of state in stearic acid. Animations and timers are included to promote peer/self correction of answers and to promote pace respectively.

A full 1h lesson covering the topic of waves. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 (P2.1) SOW but can be used for others. All activities are incorporated into the slides with no additional worksheets required. A slinky is required for a brief demonstration alongside white boards for AFL. Students are asked to perform a Mexican wave during the early stages of the lesson to visualise how energy (but not matter) is transferred within a wave. The plenary is based in students reflecting upon their progress against the learning objectives, this can be made fun by throwing a soft toy between students and asking them to read out their answers.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of breathing. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 book (B2.3) but can be used for others. The lesson includes video, a demonstration using a bell jar and a simple practical exercise where students observe an increase in CO2 in expired breath using lime water (can be done as a demo). Homework is also included or can be deployed as a stretch activity. PowerPoint animation and timers are included to promote pace and self/peer mediated correction of answers.
