This is a complete lesson from start to end, you do NOT need to spend hours carefully planning and resourcing this lesson – I have already spent those hours preparing this lesson for you.

There is nothing to do but give it a quick read through and familiarise yourself with it, and if necessary, take some simple decisions the lesson guides you to make before delivering it. You may also wish to remove a few slides to reduce its length if required for your particular group of learners.

The lesson contains:
* Need list – telling you what to photocopy or what kit to order etc (if required).
* Notes to help the teacher
* Title & lesson objectives (as above).
* Starter task where students self-assess themselves against each objective
* Scientific literacy activity
* Questions – all answers are provided.
* Video clip.
* Paired work activities with answers.
* Theory slides (minimal – interspaced with thinking activities - not ‘death by powerpoint’)
* Gap fill activities – answers are provided
* Plenary formative/summative assessment activity / quiz
* Student self-assessment versus objectives activity – so learners can judge for themselves how much they have learnt

As teachers we all work ridiculously long hours each week. Give yourself a break, spend some life with your wife / husband / children / friends / family by purchasing more lessons created by ‘Barclayfox’ once they appear on TES.

Thank you for your time !

Yours,
