3 sections with questions on identifying independent and dependent variables, exam style questions on graph skills before building up to students plotting data onto their own graphs.
Information sheets describing Newton's 3 Laws of Motion with examples. I have also uploaded a simple worksheet for students to use when interpreting the sheets, although this was used as a quick fix for a lesson. The sheets can be used as a revision aid or as placemats for students to use when investigating the 3 Laws.
Characterised pirate worksheet (Pirate Pete) whereby students have to work out the direction Pete travels around his Treasure Island. Worksheet is designed to teach students how to calculate displacement vectors with two separate methods:
1: By measuring the line of the missing triangle side
2: Using Pythagoras Theory
Made for my middle/low ability Y9 groups as a cross curricular with Maths for the new spec Physics 2016 GCSE (scalars + vectors) Teacher answers are on the last page.
Three different level laddered assessments (levels 3-8 and SEN/Low Ability) covering the cell topic (Animal/Plant Cells, Specialised Cells, Stem Cells and Prokaryotic/Eukaryotic Cells)
Worksheet for students to complete for a quick check of their knowledge of Series and Parallel Circuits, the bakery circuit model, voltage across series and parallel circuits, Ohms Law and Power ratings.

Lesson plan and simple worksheet for Breathing and Gas Exchange for the new GCSE spec. Aimed at my low ability year 10 class. The lesson features a high amount of discussion with the class as I was interested in developing this aspect of their learning both with myself and each other. Instructions are in the notes section of each slide.
Starter - Label the parts of the gas exchange system as a KS3 recap.
Main - Using words to describe alveoli structure as a building block to develop ideas around why it is sack shaped. Students then complete short gap fill exercise and do a simple data task looking at % of gas present during inhalation and expiration. Picture task for students to draw the alveoli either as a memory game or describing game in pairs as a way to introduce adaptations and build on description/discussion skills.
Plenary - Students use the different word banks to answer the WALT question "How does oxygen get into the body?" They can then feedback to the class.
OBJECTIVES:
GOOD – LIST the main parts of the gas exchange system
GREAT – STATE what happens at the alveoli relating to gas percentages
EPIC – DESCRIBE how alveoli are adapted for gas exchange
As always feedback is appreciated :)
Lesson plan investigating non-communicable diseases and correlation v causation. Instructions and ideas for delivery are included in the notes section. I used post-it notes within the lesson for a group task, but the lesson can be delivered without.
Starter - Students rank diseases in order from most to least deaths caused as of 2012 before identifying risk factors relating to these.
Main 1 - Continuum of risk factors for students to rank from least impact on health to most impact. Post it notes were used for groups of students to rank their own ideas before feeding back as a class. This then leads into a table activity whereby students identify diseases as communicable or non communicable.
Main 2 - Worked class example of correlation vs causation using pollen, ice cream and hay fever as a way of introducing the idea. Students grasp that evidence is needed to imply causation through correlation, and some ridiculous examples are used to highlight this idea before students explain evidence for 3 non communicable diseases. Feeds into a data worksheet task on link between liver disease and alcohol consumption.
Plenary - Students come up with 5 ideas on how to minimise the risk of developing one of the non communicable diseases covered in the lesson.
Objectives:
GOOD – LIST some risk factors that are linked to an increased rate of a disease.
GREAT – DECIDE whether a link is causal or not.
EPIC – DRAW conclusions on disease from given data
As always any feedback is appreciated :)
Structured lesson looking at Animal/Plant cells and their organelles. Needs some prior prep with printing and sticking up organelle information around the classroom before the lesson. Opportunity to differentiate and allow students to build on knowledge bit by bit throughout the lesson. All additional instructions are in the notes section of each slide.
Starter - Give me 10. Students write 10 words relating to cells. This acts to gauge prior knowledge.
Main 1 - Paired drawing task where Student A (facing the board) has to describe to Student B (who is facing away from the board) what to draw. After you have used questioning to get the names of the organelles, students can be given the picture of the cell to stick in.
Main 2 - Information Hunt. Give students the organelle table to fill in – cut out the organelle information and stick/hide them around the classroom so students have to go and find the information to complete their table. You can either cut the name with the definition or stick the definition and the name separate.
Main 3 - Analogies. Students are given 2 examples of analogies before being tasked to come up with their own for each organelle. Can extend to 2 or 3 different examples for each organelle if necessary.
Plenary - Make a prediction questions...
What would happen to a plant cell if we removed the chloroplasts?
What would happen to animals if their cells had a cell wall?
What do you think we will study next lesson?
Objectives:
GOOD – NAME the ORGANELLES found in animal and plant cells
GREAT – DESCRIBE the functions of each main ORGANELLE
OUTSTANDING – EXPLAIN organelle functions using analogies
Thank you
