Psychology AQA A -Students are introduced to the levelled mark scheme. -discuss command words to questions and sort an essay card sort into points, evidence and evaluation. Students reassemble the cards into an essay (Outline and evaluate the role of learning for food preference). Higher students will realise the flexibility they have in forming paragraphs. -Students are given an example section from "Discuss the evolutionary theory to food preference" and are then asked to finish the evaluative points. -Students peer mark using levelled mark scheme. Homework: Students use all the rules to write "Outline and evaluate the role of neural and hormonal mechanisms in eating behaviour.

Lesson 3 of the edexcel new spec for chemistry Students are introduced to an usual hook into the lesson whereas the remains of Ramasis II stomach was found to contain trace compounds of Cannabis. was this because ancient Egyptians smoke cannabis or was it contamination? Students draw the structure of a carbon atom before discussing the definition of isotope and C-14. discussing carbon dating is optional to answer the starter whereby the cannabis and remains both contain the same amount of C-14. Students complete questions related to relativity and isotopes using the Edexcel Chemistry textbook

Lesson 2 of the new Edexcel Spec Students are reminded of the cathode ray experiment and discuss what John Dalton and Ernest Rutherford might thought would happen if positive particles were fired at a sample of gold atoms. Students are reminded of the empty space in atoms and are introduced to the three subatomic particles. Students use their new knowledge to make model atoms using craft materials such as: buttons, plasticine, string, pipe cleaners and dice. Students complete the worksheet to demonstrate they can draw the structure of the atom

Lesson 1 to the new spec Edexcel chemistry Students sort a set of cards into true or false to demonstrate their knowledge of atoms so far. Teacher runs through their ideas using interactive slide that changes green and red for true and false statements. After watching the "scale of the universe" link to demonstrate how small atoms are, the teacher discusses atoms in terms of nuclei and orbitals. Introducing the idea of empty space. Students complete worksheet and watch TedEd talk. Word mat: Students can use table runner word mat to help with the questions on the worksheet. This should be printed out so the questions are at the front and the information is under the flaps.

As part of the last week of term I let my Year 8 and 9's choose what they learn about. This one came up... It was very successful! -Students list as many types of surgery they know from their own knowledge before being introduced to a range of surgical techniques. -Students complete a diamond nine activity to introduce the idea that often patients undergo surgery for a range of different reasons and can often be very beneficial to their well being and quality of life. -Students discuss odd examples of cosmetic surgery that seem "abnormal" to us -Poster swap activity discussing techniques, cost, and risks -Student choose from a range of animated videos to finish of the lesson related to the techniques above.

Students are introduced to the shocking symptoms of AIDs and are briefly introduced to the HIV virus. Students are introduced to the concept of a market place activity in which students will design resources, promote and explain what they have done and learn from each other to allow them to complete a set of questions. Students focus on: -Symptoms -Transmission -Managment I designed this lesson to accompany my micro-organism unit and dispel the use of my students using the word "AIDs" lightly. They had a lot of questions after the lesson and seemed to enjoy it.

Lesson 1 Students are introduced to Seismic activity and watch a short bang goes the theory clip. Students design a simple experiment in which they drop a tray of water a time how long it takes to travel. Students consider: -a hypothesis -Controls -Method and diagram Students have adequate time to complete the experiment to get an average and summarise briefly. Lesson 2 Students process their data on a simple graph and evaluate their work. Students use the knowledge from the last two lesson to write an extended piece of writing.

Students start the lesson with a mini leaf recognition quiz before running through a few slides linked to how the structure of the leaf is vital to its function. Students take off into the school grounds in search of six leaves to bring back to the class (safari...). On their return students glue them to a sheet and use recognition sheet to identify them. After a few slides related to leaf adaptation students complete a series of questions in their book.

These activities should last for three weeks and is designed for Year 7 and 8. sessions 1 introduces the very spectacular Methane oxygen rocker. Risk assessment and instructions are given. Session 2: Acid base rockets using vinegar and baking powder Session 3: Students use their acid base rockets to investigate how the amount of fuel, type of acid and concentration effect rocket height. After each session I make a video on the free replay app and add it to our school twitter page. they should give you a good idea of the activities. https://quik.gopro.com/v/oxR1vLo0Dz/ https://quik.gopro.com/v/om1c0F5cxN/ I use these sessions at the beginning of the year as students enjoy them a lot. I'll continue adding resources for the rest of the activities present on the SOW.

-Students watch a clip from the Big bang Theory where Sheldon dresses as the "Doppler effect". -Students are introduced to the concept through the PowerPoint and demonstrate the effect outside through a "controlled scream drive-by". -Students complete a series of questions related to the concept to demonstrate understanding. The lesson finishes through applying their new knowledge to Sonic-booms.

Students are introduced to Alexander Litvenenko and his "alleged" murder. Students are introduced to the idea of a half-life and how that rate can be used to calculate how long material has been decaying and analyzing material composition. Practical experiment: students use M&M sweets to draw a half life curve. by dropping M&M's and eating the sweets that land 'M' up (following lab safety of course) and plotting their findings. Repeating until they have none left. Students complete a worksheet to workout which material killed Alexander Litvenenko.
