add your objectives/outcomes to the text box or spercific questions for the students and they answer. you can collect it in and use it to inform your planning for next lesson. great to asses progress in the lesson and students to self asses their progress

This is a 30 min lesson that could be easily extened to a full lesson with class feedback and other activities linking energy transfer in a real situation. I did 3 demos of fuels so pupils could see that not all fuels are traditionally though of as fuels. the demos were blowing custard powder/icing sugar into a bunsen, whoosh bottle (big water cooler bottle with a small amount of ethanol and ignite it - it looks like an upside down rocket) and methane bubbles. It really engaged them and they really enjoyed putting ideas about the true or false cards.

a question based on the white blood cells and how it proctects against illness. the image file is how i presented it to the students and looked at the banding of the marks. we went through what was required and i explained that 6 points were not enough and that it was more about the structure of the answer. the model answer sheet shows the students what is required to gain the full 6 and an A*. hope you find it useful.

Picture with 3 statements about plant growth and light. Students are to see what they think about them in groups. the answers are partly right but not completely right.... opens it up to discussion.

A song that helps students develop their ideas of three different vairables and the corrisponding lesson plan and worksheet to accompany the song. Rocket balloons are inflated balloons stuck to straws and the straw is threaded through a long piece of string. The balloon can then be deflated to send it moving on the string. A number of different variables can be investigated with the eaisest being the amount the balloon is inflated. This is taliored to a low ability set but can easily be adapted by the use of questioning and how much intial support students are given.

Modeling the digestive system. Students evlauate the model and suggest improvments to the model to meet the app focus. they then asses their evaluation against the app criteria attached. To model the digestive system you need a: mortar and pestle, tights, blender, food, water and a washing up bowl. The motar and pestle are the mouth and teeth, the blender the stomach, the tights the intestines and the washing up bowl is the body.

For threats to the earth topic. Complete lesson that was done for an interview that was 30 min long. This could be adapted though to fill a full 50 -60 min as there are opportunities for it to be adapted to enable the students to do more tries and complete a graph on paper rather than a class graph only. Some of the power point and the all of the plenary pyramid were off of this site so sorry for reposting but without them the lesson is not complete!

Four puzzles I have made for science such as fuels, electromagnetic radiation, metal reactions and photosynthesis. There is also a link to the software that you need to down load to acess. It is free!

A concept cartoon for animal adaptation. All statments are paritally right but the students can use them to discuss the ideas at the start of the lesson or at the end of the lesson to asses progess. I have used it at both the start and the end of a lesson so the students can see how much progress they have made.

a fully contained lesson for higher biology - b1b aqa but could be used for other boards. set up as a market place around the room with the posters. students draw a table in the book with the headings: animal, numbers left, reasons for endangered status

a graph that I use to stick in the front of students books and whenever they do a summertive assesment or task that provides them with information on their achievement they fill in a bar on the graph. In my books I get the students to draw a thick black line on the graph where their target is so they can see quickly if they are on at or above the target.

a lesson based on adaptations for survival. Includes lesson plan and all resources

a powerpoint to show the keywords of photosynthesis.

a lesson based around hearing ranges relevent to the 'mosquito' device and how it works. You need a signal generator and a speaker or download a free app on the iphone/pod/pad. if you have clip bank there are some good news clips about it you can use. It is based for a btec lesson but the outcomes on the plan and exit ticket can be changed to GCSE grades.

A tarsia puzzle for AQA unit three with the main key points. Useful as a revision tool.

A marking grid for self or peer assesment for students. It should be used to help them understand what they need to know about ways the medical proffesion can see into the body without invasive surgery. Marks on the grid are guidlines to how many points are needed for each section

A work sheet which students have 3 blood sample pictures and they have to identify the components in the normal slide, explain differences in two other slides. Similar to an exam question from 2008

a lesson based on using speed with the HSW angle of how speed cameras work. video clip taken from youtube to add an intresting angle to the lesson.

a grid that can be attached to work/book for students assesment. they are then supposed to go and correct mistakes in the work when it has been marked.

a lesson that i recieved excellent feedback on for an observation. all resources are there but you will need post it notes and practical equipment: different sized marbles/balls, meter rulers, stop watches. some of the slides need printing too - they are hidden in the document. hope you find it useful
