Lesson power point on essential content A1. Genetic inheritance, including inherited conditions and predisposition to other conditions. This covers 2-3 lessons in total.
Students to identify the physical and lifestyle factors that effect health on each of the images: Diet. Ill health, personal hygiene, exercise, genetic inheritance and substance misuse. Students should justify why each one can effect an individuals health.Students are to discuss any conditions that they are aware of that are inherited. Students are then to identify the genetic conditions from images provided: cystic fibrosis, downs syndrome and Huntington’s disease.I recommend videos to introduce the conditions in the lesson. Included in notes on the power point.
Students to have a discussion on how cystic fibrosis and downs syndrome effects PIES. (physical, intellectual, emotional and social development). Random students chosen to feed back discussions.
Students are to create an informational flyer on one of the conditions. They should include provide symptoms, any positive and negative effects it has on health, how it effects PIES, treatment and steps to take to improve the persons life chances. I would suggest students have access to textbooks or the internet to gather further information on each. I also recommend the following video to show how some people may be able to see positive features in having some of the conditions.

Teacher explains predisposition to the class. Students to note down a definition of the key term. Students should also compare inheritance of a condition to predisposition of a condition.
Students to choose a condition and research it with the same content as the previous activity. Symptoms of the three conditions shared with students and class discussion focuses on treatments and ways to improve life chances.
Doctor Doctor role play activity:
Students can use the symptom flash card for any of the four predisposed conditions. (included) Students are to go to the doctor (who has researched the relevant condition) with their symptoms. The ‘doctor’ needs to discuss the condition with the patient and from the information from their research activity explain the positive and negative effects on their health that the condition could have. The ‘doctor’ should then recommend how the patient can improve their life chances. Students will then swop roles with a different predisposed condition. Students should record any information they require.
Test your knowledge questions worth 8 marks and homework to write a diary entry discussing an average day living with the condition and how it affects PIES.
Revision clock activities for memory, perception, development and research methods.
Students are to include as many psychological key terms and as much detailed information as they can for each sub header in each section of the clock. They are to only allow only 5 minutes per section.
Keeps students motivated through revision and students are required to summarise key information.
Suggestion: print back to back on A3 paper as allows more space for students information and revision notes.

Two/three lessons in one on the male and female reproductive systems from learning outcome one. (1.5)
Includes power point
homework
planning for progress grids
First lesson:
As a starter I provide students with information of each part of the reproductive system (not included). I give each student a different part. They have 5 minutes to get to know their reproductive part and then share the information with other students through a speed dating activity:
Dating advice:
Listen carefully to what your partner is saying
Look at them when they are talking to you
Ask lots of questions- check you have understood them
Images shown on the board of both the male and female reproduction systems. Students are to draw their own diagram of each and label them based on learning from the previous activity.
Apply your knowledge activity is on powerpoint. Students are shown a table which has the reproductive organs listed and students are to complete their own table explaining the function for each organ.
Homework shown on powerpoint.
Second/third lesson:
How reproduction takes place:
Powerpoint provides information on ovaluation, conceptualisation/fertilisation and implanation. Videos are also included in the powerpoint to support learning.
Appluy it activity is to design a children’s book that explains reproduction.
Instructions:
It should include key terms ovulation, conception and implantation but be simple enough for a primary school student to understand.
Homework/ additonal activity on powerpoint.
Fill in the blanks activity on powerpoint for multiple pregnancies.
Copy and describe/explain the development of an fertilised egg to a fetus activity.
Card sort activity which looks at the development of a fetus.
Homework/additional activity on powerpoint.
I then ask students to use a textbook to explain the signs and symptoms of pregnancy
Compare at least two of the signs and symptoms.
Justify how reliable they are at identifying you could be pregnant.
Another homework/additional activity on powerpoint.

Mind map of the topics included in cognition and behaviour paper 1 for GCSE psychology.
These resources are accessible for students as they are simple mind maps but they covers everything on the AQA specification:
Memory
Perception
Development
Research Methods
I use the maps at the end of the topic and get students to expand and elaborate adding their own information. They are also useful to introduce a topic, but also to help the students organise their notes and revision.
This is useful to all students but particularly those who struggle with organising their notes and information.
Suggestion: print on A3 paper to allow students enough room to elaborate.
Homework charts/stretch and challenge mats which can be used in lessons as a filler activity or plenary or given as a homework mat over several lessons. Could also be used as a revision tool.
Based on AQA GCSE Psychology 8182, Memory, Perception, Development and research methods.
I have one copy of all three slides printed and laminated on display and then I print out slides two and three back to back.
The image which indicates the activity matches up to the activity instructions on the back of it. students seem to enjoy the challenge of completing a row, corners or full house!
