Resources developed as part of a *BIG PRACTICAL*. These are designed to practice a skill - usually using a preliminary investigation - then a full investigation write up. These are tailored toward the way the new GCSE (2016 on wards) is designed to test practical skills as well as context. First lesson Resources: bicarbonate writing frame (+ppt) Practical: Pupils use tin foil to cover one test tube containing pond weed and use bicarbonate indicator to show photosynthesis (+respiration HIGHER). Practical procedure notes in PPT (consult health and safety or use approved procedure) Activities order: Starter looking at the photosynthesis equation and the role of chloroplasts, Practical and write up for first practical. Second/Third lesson Resources: Distance writing frame (+ppt) Practical: Collecting gas using a measuring cylinder and investigating the affect of distance of a lamp. Activities order: Introduction to aim and prediction. Pupil should be able to complete practical independently give guidance and previous practical. Graph, conclusion and evaluation scaffolding also provided but may need to be scheduled for another lesson. Two PowerPoints available with results as practical can be slightly temperamental.

Third lesson Resources: Antibiotic plate sheet, Diameter-zone-of-inhibition (+ppt) Activity order: Look at antibiotic plates, Complete sheet looking at antibiotics and comparing zones of inhibition, calculating zones of inhibition for comparison.

Higher level activity looking at the stages of evolution for Darwin's finches. These are diagnostic activities looking at the misconceptions around evolution and justification of why incorrect statements are incorrect. Differentiated in to scaffolded and none scaffolded.

Worksheets looking at the inheritance of CF and H disorder, a common example of inherited disorders in lots of exam specifications. Includes punnet square and choices that couples have to make. Differentiated silver and gold.

Activity looking at inheritance from both parents and it's random nature. Pupils build marshmallow animals called REBOPS - developed from another resource, this is for a KS4 lessons. Perfect really for year 9/10 low to mid sets. Instructions for building the parents are on the ppt Pupils build offspring of the parents using a dice to chose the genes that are inherited. Sheet differentiated silver and gold and killer challenge cards.

Basics looking at the equations for combustion and comparing them. Practical based on using a Bunsen Burner to heat water, air hole open and closed. Practical details are on the ppt. Sheet then looking at the evidence and observations of the two types of combustion (Differentiated in to bronze, silver and gold). Application looking at a car. Challenge task looking at the impacts of carbon monoxide.
