These lessons were created to be embedded into the KS3 curriculum and give students a taste of what studying PE at KS4 entails. The aim of these lessons is to give students a basic understanding of key topics studied in GCSE PE and engage students in a different way of learning in KS3 PE lessons which would normally be completely practically based.
Students will complete one theory lesson during each block of practical lessons throughout the year (one theory lesson every 6-7 weeks). Throughout KS3 students should develop a basic understanding of all topics before starting GCSE PE in year 10.
The lessons were tailored to the Edexcel GCSE PE (2016) specification and each year group focuses on a different topic within their lessons.
*Would be suitable for other GCSE PE qualifications with similar content.
*Also useful as a wet weather / cover lesson to keep students engaged in a classroom.
Included:
7 lessons based around one ‘Big Question’ on Anatomy & Physiology and Health, Fitness and well-being.
A graphic organiser / booklet which can be printed out and given to students to work in each lesson (in place of working in an exercise book).
A PowerPoint with all 7 lessons – Each lesson including…
o Title slide
o Engage/starter tasks
o Shared learning outcomes – using big & small question
o Share new information – Students fill in the blanks in their booklets to gather new information shared in the lesson.
o Mini plenaries to check understanding throughout the lesson.
o Tasks – Application activities where students demonstrate their learning.
o Final task is to complete the ‘small question’ for the lesson which involves an extended answer. Hints included to support students with what to include and a ‘WAGOLL’ of what a good one looks like!
o Plenary task to wrap up the lesson.
Links to GCSE curriculum: Each lesson includes GCSE content which has been simplified / scaffolded to be suitable for younger students. Extended answers to the small question at the end of the lesson use the same ‘PEB’ structure that is encouraged at GCSE level (Point, Explain, Benefit).
*Some videos which were initially embedded into the PPT have been removed to reduce file size. Links for the videos have been posted into the slides.

Full scheme of work for ‘Applying principles of training’ (R042) unit. From Cambridge National Level 2 Sport Science.
Scheme of work includes:
121 slide PowerPoint covering all 4 learning outcomes.
All lessons centered around a big ‘learning question’ which they work on throughout the unit. (How can training programmes be designed to develop sporting performance?)
Each learning outcome contains lessons to develop content & understanding of the topic, with application to tasks / scenarios to prepare them for the assessed work at the end.
At the end of each learning outcome is an ‘assessment preparation’ task which provides information on the assessed piece of work, mark scheme and what needs to be included.
LO3 includes interactive PPT slides where students can navigate themselves to the fitness test information they want to find out - by clicking on hyperlinked buttons within the PPT (view on slide show to access).
Also included:
Fitness testing record sheets
Fitness testing protocols & normative data
PAR-Q
6 week training programme template
This scheme of work has been developed alongside a series of practical based fitness lessons to secure understanding of the theory covered in the SOW. I have provided students access to this PowerPoint using MS Teams so they have the information they need to write their assignments.
Created for Edexcel, but easily transferable content to other exam boards.
Includes:
Powerpoint with learning outcomes.
Presents new information on muscles / types of muscles / muscles & movement / antagonistic pairs.
Task - Matching task to identify all muscles (similar to bones activity on skeletal system lesson).
Can be set out like an information relay - detailed muscles information sheet which can be put at the front / outside the room.
Differentiated worksheet to complete.
Based on Edexcel, but content is easily transferable to other exam boards.
Includes:
Powerpoint and learning outcomes.
Starter activity to recap bones from previous lesson (skeletal system).
Presents new information on joints and types of movement to give an understanding before main task.
Main task to work around the room completing a worksheet on the 8 sports people, identifying joint, joint action and articulating bones.
Differentiated worksheet
Final task students apply their knowledge to exam questions & self/peer assess with given mark scheme.
*I did this lesson in the sportshall, with the powerpoint projected onto the wall, with the pictures printed and stuck around the hall. This gave space for the students to work & you could see them performing the actions on the pictures to try and figure out the joint / bones which are involved in the movement! The students really enjoyed the lesson & were really engaged throughout!
Created for Edexcel GSCE (New spec) Component 2 - Topic 3 - Socio-cultural influences
Includes 25 cards with question and answer. Question on the right of the card with the matching answer on the left hand side of another card. A great resource for engaging the whole group in revision!

Includes:
Powerpoint with learning objectives
Starter activity cards - Print copies of the slides and get students to rearrange the letters to identify each component of fitness. Extension task with definitions and examples of each C.O.F.
Differentiated worksheet for students to gather the information once the starter activity and extension has been completed, with supporting slides to check answers.
Final slides include exam questions to apply the information gained in the lesson, with mark scheme to peer/self assess.
Includes:
Revision questions on components of fitness (Differentiated). I did this by giving pairs one of the 3 cards (high ability / middle / low ability) and getting them to choose a question to answer. They needed to create a mark scheme of what they thought should go into a good answer for their question. The questions can then be answered by another pair who give their answer back, and have it marked by the students.
Components of fitness loop card game - Print and cut the cards from the power point and hand out to the students. The first one stands up and reads out the question on their card, and the person who has the answer stands up and carries it on. (The cards are printed in the correct order so will need shuffling before handing out!!)
The students really enjoyed the loop card game! Creating mark schemes can be difficult, but once they get the hang of it their exam answers will massively improve!
Power point / lesson on exercise, fitness and health.
Includes learning outcomes, starter activity, and main content slides.
Final activity is exam questions based on the topic and mark scheme to self/peer assess.
Edexcel GCSE PE (New Spec) - Component 2 Health & Performance Revision Pack
Revision worksheets for topic 1 (health, fitness and well-being), topic 2 (sport psychology) and topic 3 (socio-cultural influences).
Also includes a revision question calendar with daily questions from each topic, ranging from 2-9 mark questions.
At this point i do not have any resources for component 1 as i am yet to teach this. I will be producing similar resources next year!
Includes:
Lesson plan and learning outcomes. Starter activity to recap previous lessons on health and skill related components of fitness.
Differentiated question sheets on each skill related component of fitness - give each student one question sheet for them to answer. (All questions on a particular component of fitness are the same, the low ability sheets have sentence starters, the middle sheets have hint questions and the high ability sheets have bonus marks!).
Peer assess - with given hints on the power point of what to look for.
Model answers provided for each question, students can then compare to their own answers and make additional changes to perfect their answer.
I found this really useful as lots of my students have a good understanding of the content, but struggle to apply it to (sometimes fairly easy!) exam questions.
Includes:
Power point and learning outcomes. Starter activity similar to scrabble, to create a word relating to the topic using the letter tiles on the screen (good bit of numeracy!)
Graffiti wall - students to write what they know about each question on fitness testing - can refer back at the end, really effective to demonstrate progress.
Main activity is an information relay. Provide each group with a large, blank handout to complete. One student at a time goes to look at the completed handout at the front / outside the classroom to bring information back to their group.
Final slide gives a plenary activity for students to answer some questions on fitness testing.
I created these slides to use in practical PE lessons with my GCSE group & displayed them in the sports hall where we do netball lessons. I found the criteria for practical sports assessment very wordy and difficult for the students to comprehend what level they are working at, or how to progress to the next level.
It has been really useful to assist with peer assessment in lessons, as students can easily understand what is expected of a performer working at a specific level.
The terminology used was based on the criteria for Edexcel (2016). Other exam boards are very similar, although the grading may differ.
