I delivered this assembly to all year groups at my secondary school. I found the content took 12- 15 minutes to deliver. I have included a full script for the assembly on the last slide. The assembly covers the way our aspirations change during our lives with a focus on achievable and positive aspirations. The assembly has a little twist at the end that links in well with the ideas of well being, mental health and managing stress. I did some research before putting this assembly together and it was well received by students and staff.

Science skills - Lab equipment, measuring skills, units, patterns, planning, graphs and conclusions

(0)
Here are two fun, interesting lessons which prepare students well for the demands of required practicals in the future. Each lesson PPT includes starters, objectives, outcomes, teaching resources, homework and both involve students completing simple practical activities which require very little in the way of extra equipment. In many schools I have seen students learning to light a Bunsen and drawing safety posters but the skills in these lessons will enable students to better plan and carry out practicals in the future. Although I have classed these as 2 lessons you may find there is enough activities to fill 3-4 hours. This means you can complete the tasks which best match the needs of your students.

Introduction to Electricity - Conductors and Insulators

(0)
I use this sheet as a starter activity or as homework. I developed this resource because although many students have studied electricity in KS3 I have often found some concepts are taught better than others. Current, electrons and the links to conductors etc is often an area students struggle with. As such I have found this worksheet very helpful in terms of addressing misconceptions.

I designed these resources for an hour long intervention / revision session. I wanted to show the students the link between using the syllabus and exam questions. I also wanted the students to work independently, with little or no help from me. This task worked really well for developing resilience. The students used the syllabus which I have placed onto the power point (printed out 2 slides per page) to complete the content revision notes (word document). Once they have completed the notes the 2 sets of exam questions are easy.
