A lesson on the history of the periodic table including recall questions from previous lesson. The timeline of the history of the periodic table can be done through the use of ipads or the card sort task attached. The video clip I used to explain Mendeleev's periodic table was the Ted Ed video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPnwBITSmgU The plenary task was created after an observation of a maths lesson with the idea of assessing learning of the periodic table through a colour by numbers task (as prior to this lesson they learnt about the modern periodic table, including groups and periods). The finished image will be a dragon.

I created this fun revision lesson for my year 9 and 10 classes on the first biology topic for the new OCR combined science (gateway) spec (but the QR code questions can be modified for any topic/specification). The powerpoint lesson plan has a starter, title and LOs and an introduction (I've embedded the pokemon theme music but you can also have this playing in the background through youtube). Briefly students are introduced to their task: To revise the topics studied in this chapter by answering the grade/levelled questions. This is done through the theme of pokemongo. Students will need to use an ipad/QR code reader app to go around the room and scan the codes for specific pokemon - to catch the pokemon they need to answer the question (slides 6-24 will need to be printed and placed around the room). Once answered they can tick that pokemon off on their pokedex sheet. As a plenary to assess progress students can peer-review each others work or the teacher can mark their work using the pokedex checklist. Feedback appreciated
