Complete lesson on Frequency and Pitch, designed for the new Activate Scheme but can be used for another syllabus’ as well. Includes various tasks, calculations and discussions. All answers are provided on the slides so students can self/peer assess. This lesson works great if you have an oscilloscope so students can link frequency to pitch. It also includes a link to a youtube video for a ‘hearing test’ which students love to carry out to see how high a frequency they can hear to. There is a differentiated task on frequencies that animals can hear with low ability students using data to answer questions and high ability students presenting the data in their own graph.

KS3 lesson on Genetic modification, looking at what it is, some examples and then discussion on what the problems could potentially be with GMOs. Lesson includes video, discussion, questions and activity where students need to create a cartoon strip on how GMO are created. If you would like to use an alternative activity, you could get students researching and writing a newspaper article on GM crops and the advantages and disadvantages. This would however, require a second lesson with access to computers/GM research. Please leave a review and check out my other resources. Thanks

I created this worksheet as a support sheet for students struggling with drawing Punnett squares in the genetics topic. This worksheet is best printed off on A3 and works to walk students through the steps involved in determining the alleles of the parents and creating a Punnett square to determine the probability of certain outcomes. The layout is in a style that allows students to easily follow the process. Have used a similiar format in the past on calculation style questions in physics and drawing ionic bonds in chemistry and students loved it! I have also included the answer sheet to go with it.
