This lesson is based on the inverse square law for Applied Science (Extended Certificate). It introduces the idea of attentuation which forms some of the basis for understanding the mathematics behind the equation for the inverse square law. It also includes main activities such as a demonstration in case practical equipment is not available to explore this concept, presenting results in a graph and calculations using the two equations required in for this lesson. Mark schemes for each activity as well as hints for calculations are also provided.

This is a two hour lesson. In lesson one, students will firstly recall what reaction time is before selecting a factor which may affect the reaction time of individuals. They will then plan an investigation using a suitable method of measuring reaction times. This is concluded with gaining an understanding of key ideas of reliability and repeats in scientific experiments. In the second lesson students get an opportunity to carry out their plan before carrying out analysis and conclusion of results and an evaluation of their method.

Students are firstly introduced to this lesson by putting themselves in an extreme environment and consider their bodily responses. This is then followed by the introduction of the various conditions which need to maintained and the key components which maintain homeostasis. Students then get to consolidate this learning by exploring specific examples of how each condition is maintained in homeostasis. Exam questions further stretches the learners to solidify their understanding of the this subject further.

This lesson may be taught over two hours and include the following: a starter which allows students to discuss their existing knowledge about earthquakes and seismic waves. the operation of a seismometer a research task which further analyses the types of seismic waves followed by a Venn diagram task to compare seismic waves. a video further summarising what seismic waves teach us about the structure of layers of earth students then summarise their learning in the form of a mock BBC Science report. Homework further consolidates their understanding of the operation of a seismometer, interpreting seismographs and what seismic waves teach us about the structure of layers of earth

Elements of this lesson include: Do now task to revise specialised cells in animals An overview of variety of cells in the leaf An introduction to the four specialised cells in plant A simple research activity for students (high and low ability) to identify the adaptations and explain the adaptations in 4 specilised cells. The plenary includes a choice of a kahoot quiz or exam questions based on this lesson (and previous lessons in this scheme of work)

This lesson draws on the familiar concept of how pole in magnets behave when their magnetic fields interact before relating this to the charges of subatomic particles and their behavior when in contact. Students then compare the Plum pudding model and nuclear model of the atom before getting an overview of the alpha particle scattering experiment. The lesson then closes with students understanding what the evidence from this experiment reveals about the structure of the atom and nucleus.

This resource may be used for a low to mid ability. It firstly gains their interest using a 2d image to begin a discussion and explores how ultrasound (echos) are ultimately used to produce prenatal scans

This resource is an introduction to electrolysis for a lower ability group. It firstly introduces students to some key terms in electrolysis and then what this process entails.

The resource explores the how a knowledge of pressure may be used do things such as breaking and scratching objects. It also explores why objects are able to float, or sink on state of matter such as liquids.

Students explore the discovering of the atom by completing a literacy activity and extend themselves further by making comparisons of the Plum Pudding Models and the Atomic Model of the atom.

These lesson(s) boasts a rich variety of activities including discussions, videos, research on the role of hormones as well as the kinaesthetic activity ‘menstrual bracelet,’ Kahoot (Which hormone?) and graph interpretation based on changing levels of hormones and their effect on the menstrual cycle.

This lesson firstly introduces students to the various types of nutrients in food and then students are able to complete a research task on the molecules and atoms of nutrients, their monomers and functions. Students then move on to understanding in a little more detail the intricacies of food labels in order to explore how scientists are able to determine the information on these labels. The lessons finally ends with exploring the food tests for starch, simple sugars, lipids and proteins. As an assessment of progress in the lesson, students get to use results collected to determine the nutrient in the food sample.

This lessons opens with the polarizing question, ‘what color do you see?’ to engage students. The bundle consists of the main PowerPoint with a wide choice of videos (including an eye dissection) to explore the structure and function of the main parts of the eye and further exploring the eye’s structure through exploration of the eye’s blind spot.

Student are firstly introduced to how electricity is generated followed by their completing of a research task on the national grid. There is also a quick true false plenary which students assesses students' learning. Video links are also available for further reading and consolidation of how the National Grid works.

The resource contains a simple introduction into factors which affect the amount energy transferred when the temperature of an object changes and then gets students to consider numeracy skills in completing calculations of specific heat capacity. It then concludes with students getting an opportunity to complete calculations (of specific heat capacity, temperature change, and so on).

This lesson introduces the importance for cell specialization then compares the undifferentiated and specialized cell before students get an opportunity to study 4 types of specialized cells in humans. An exam question is also included.

This lesson could be easily used for a two hour lesson in which the general structure of the nervous system is introduced as well as how the nervous system works. Students then complete a practical on investigating reaction time and consolidate their learning analyzing the data collected from the practical as well as completing exam questions based on these two lessons.

Students get an introduction into culturing bacteria in the lab before their first required practical. However this could also be used if lab facilities are unavailable.

This resources is aimed at lower ability students in which the worksheet accompanying the presentation has five activities which become increasingly more challenging and finally culminates with the arguments for and against stem cell usage.

The resources contains activities such as card sorts, animation videos and questions based on videos to get students to understand how immunity through vaccines work to provide immunity for individuals as well as a population at large. Furthermore, the resources also provide support for students to complete one of the main types of exam questions which is likely to come up in assessments in which graph interpretation is firstly required before answering the question.
