An assembly/presentation about the importance of staying connected whilst being physically apart - more specifically during the Coronavirus pandemic. The presentation is was designed as an introduction to our virtual House Challenge day which was held in place of our actual House Challenge day. The theme was apart but together, built around the circumstances of not being able to physically see and speak to each other but referencing the importance of being able to stay connected. There are narrator instructions within the notes section for each slide.
Double lesson with easy practical investigation of friction of different shoes/trainers(Need ruler, ramps and different shoes). Lessons follow a thematic approach with students learning about the Nike research facility and the scientists that work there, relating forces and friction to their work. In the second lesson, students will learn about drag force and apply their understanding of both lessons to use success criteria to produce a scientific report for Nike on the two subject areas. Students then have to present their data and answer questions on the experiment. Contains differentiated investigation worksheets for higher/lower attaining students.
Notes are on each slide detailing additional activities and ideas for teaching.
Objectives:
GOOD – PRESENT and COLLECT data accurately
GREAT – USE experimental data/knowledge to inform your answers
OUTSTANDING – APPLY your own knowledge to solve a problem/answer a question
Depending on your structure, this could be a practical lesson or A theory one. The practical lesson involves students prepare Onion and Cheek cells to study through a microscope. Alternatively, you could skip that part and have the students work on the magnification calculation sheet. Or you could do both! Additional notes giving ideas and hints for activities within the lesson are in the notes sections of the slides. Equipment needed - Onion – Knife – Cutting Tile – Staining liquid (Iodine) – Microscopes – Microscope slides – Cover Slips – Tweezers – Cotton Swabs
Starter - Students identify objects zoomed in through a microscope.
Main 1 - Students discuss the parts of a microscope before preparing onion and cheek cells to study under a microscope.
Main 2 - Students then move on to calculate magnification from the differentiated worksheet (Answers provided)
Plenary - Students then discuss the difference between magnification and resolution with the help of a picture as a prompt.
Objectives:
GOOD – USE a light microscope
GREAT – USE the formula Magnification = Size of Image/Size of real object
OUTSTANDING – DESCRIBE the difference between magnification and resolution
Hope you enjoy :)
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
Simple "all in one lesson" on one PPT with a practical task of preparing a microscope slide using an onion. Equipment needed: Onion – Knife – Cutting Tile – Staining liquid (Iodine) – Microscopes – Microscope slides – Cover Slips – Tweezers. Instructions of activities in the notes section of each slide.
Starter - 2 questions. Why is it useful to use a microscope to view an object?
Why can’t we just use a magnifying glass?
Main 1 - Light microscope. Slide 3 can be printed out for students to label the parts of a microscope or you can complete a back to board drawing with 2 students. Students discuss in pairs what they think each microscope part does.
Main 2 - Practical demo. I have not included a method sheet here as I like to complete the practical as a demonstration for the students to watch as they write their own method to the practical. There is an equipment list and very simple method on the last slide.
Extension - Students calculate total magnification from 3 given problems.
Plenary - Students look at 4 objects which have been magnified and guess what they are.
Objectives:
GOOD – USE a light microscope to observe a prepared slide
GREAT – EXPLAIN how to use a microscope to observe a cell
OUTSTANDING – CALCULATE magnification of a cell
Lesson looking at the process of vaccination and herd immunity.
Starter - Picture on the board of child being vaccinated. Students answer 3 questions relating to the picture as a means to open discussion around the topic.
Main 1 - 3 teacher led slides designed to first define, explain, then apply the concepts of Antibody's, Antigens and Pathogens and their role in immunity. Students then use this as a springboard to complete the pictures of a storyboard in relation to how vaccines work.
Main 2 - Students are introduced to Herd Immunity very simply then watch a 2 minute video (Link in notes section) before answering 3 questions on Herd Immunity with 1 challenge question added in.
Plenary - Summarising today's learning in the form of a 140 character "tweet"
Objectives:
4 – DESCRIBE why people are vaccinated.
5 – EXPLAIN how vaccination works
7 – EXPLAIN how vaccinating a large number of a population reduces the spread of a pathogen
Additional guidance in the notes section of the slides. As always, and feedback in appreciated :)
Electrolysis lesson looking at introducing students to the set up of electrolysis and the underlying ideas involved, including a quick recap of ionic compounds, metallic, non-metallic charges and word/symbol equations. From here, students develop an understanding of the origin of the word "electrolysis" and label the parts involved before describing the movement of ions and finally writing half equations:
Starter - Students are reminded of the formula of ionic substances through the use of the starter questions. From here, it is important that they understand the charges of metal and non metal ions as a basic principle to apply later in the lesson
Intro/Recap -Building on from the starter, students familiarise themselves with word and symbol equations from previous topics.
Main 1 - Youtube link in the notes section used to introduce electrolysis whilst introducing the origin of the word from ancient greek. Students then attempt tasks 1 + 2 on the worksheet before self-assessing their work.
Main 2 -Introduces half equations to the students in the form of a worked example. The example can then be used to help students complete task 3, which is writing half equations for the electrolysis of 3 basic ionic compounds and 1 challenge compound.
Plenary - Quick true of false activity summarising some learning points from the lesson.
Objectives:4 – WRITE a word equation to describe electrolysis
5 – DESCRIBE electrolysis in terms of movement of ions
6 – PREDICT the products at each electrode from electrolysis of a molten ionic compound (and complete a balanced half symbol equation)
Additional information is written in the notes section of each slide.
As always, and feedback is appreciated :)
