This group of resources has been created for use as induction to science work for year 6 students preparing for secondary school. They can generally be used by KS2 and KS3 students (years 3 to 8) though. Grow a Rainbow: In Science, one of the things we learn about is chromatography. We have a method here that you can use to grow a rainbow using the chromatography method.
Psychology and Black Lives Matter

Psychology and Black Lives Matter

(2)
In light of what has been going on in the world, I have been working on pulling together a PowerPoint looking at how the Black Lives Matter movement ties in with some of what we do in Psychology. There are four main sections to this presentation: accessibility of mental health services, schemas, bias in research and BAME Psychologists. Each section has information and tasks which can completed. This was aimed at my sixth form students studying A Level Psychology and was an optional resource for them to look through during lockdown.

A complete revision pack for revision of the Attachment unit in AQA Psychology A Level. For each lesson there is a slide of quick questions, a slide of key information, a slide with a past exam question, a slide with the mark scheme and a slide for essay planning. Those lessons not being assessed in 2022 are clearly marked. If you like the format of this session, please check out my ‘Forensic Psychology Revision Session’ resource.

Psychology in Science - Fight or Flight Response

(1)
This is a lesson designed to be woven into GCSE Science to help students apply their learning and think more about how their learning works in other ways. This lesson is designed to slot in the homeostasis or the inheritance, variation and evolution topics. It is designed to help students to understand the area in more depth and apply science to their life. It also aims to give an appreciation of how varied science can be – it’s not all biology, chemistry and physics! This lesson can also be used as a taster session for Psychology or as an introduction to Psychology following the completion of GCSEs.

Ukrainian School Survival Cards

I made these for my Ukrainian guest to take to school with her to help her translate initially. They helped her to find her feet in the first few days and feel more prepared before starting. We printed them on A6 and laminated them for her to carry in her blazer pocket. I thought they may help others welcoming a Ukrainian child into their classroom, school or home.

Psychology and Diversity

This is a complete lesson looking at diversity within psychology. If focuses on BAME, disability and LGBTQ+. Personally I am uploading this for students to do as a self-taught lesson but this would be easily deliverable in the classroom too. No worksheets are needed.
