This lesson focuses on how energy can be transferred between stores when a system changes. This is based on the new AQA Trilogy specification.
Lesson includes:
Powerpoint with lesson objective, success criteria and accompanying tasks.
The energy systems expert information contains visual, worked examples of how energy is transferred from store to store.
I allocated one person on each table to become an expert. Each student has a prop to match their information sheet (microwave, wind up toy, tennis ball, book, elastic band, pendulum, bunsen burner, battery powered torch). Their role is to teach each group that circulates to them how energy is transferred in their particular example and to get them to draw an energy transfer diagram.
The energy transfer experts sheet is to be printed A3 and completed by the students visiting each expert. The table contains a section to record notes, draw an energy transfer diagram and give feedback to their expert.
I followed the activity up with a short quiz to assess learning and gave a prize to the highest rated teacher.
This activity worked extremely well with my high ability year 8 class.

Use the game board and question cards to revise biology topics including:
Drugs, diet, exercise, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, digestion, respiration, photosynthesis.
This game was a hit with my high ability year 7/8 students.
Students start on the start here circle and collect a question card.
The difficulty of the question they choose to answer determines how many spaces forward they take.
Landing on a lifestyle card (wine glass) will have a positive or negative impact on their progress across the board.
Slide 2 gives an example of the types of questions included.
Additional Science Chemistry 2 condensed into 13 slides to be used as a revision aid.
These notes break down Chemistry into the bare bones of what they need to know.
My groups found this helpful when answering practice questions and identifying areas that they needed to revise in more detail.
Following my production of my first set of Biology notes my groups were eager for me to produce the same for Chemistry and Physics as they found them extremely helpful.

Powerpoint
Lesson Objective
Success Criteria with accompanying tasks
Practical instructions
Key words
Differentiated limiting factor graph for students to annotate
A3 activity to accompany the practical
