A practical lesson looking at making salts from an insoluble base. I used Copper Oxide and Sulphuric Acid for the lesson, where the students fill in the equipment list and follow a method to make Copper Sulphate. Aimed at middle ability learners, but can be differentiated up/down if needed through the use of method/questions on worksheet. Method is on the worksheet and additional information is in the notes section of the PPT. Starter - Students write down their own examples of salt making reactions involving metals, metal oxides, metal carbonates and acids. Can add in symbol equations as a challenge task for student challenge. Main - Introduction to the experiment by describing the reaction of insoluble salts with acid. Students copy down the equipment list onto their worksheet before following the method on the worksheet to react Copper Oxide with Sulphuric Acid. During the practical, there are 6 questions to answer relating to the experiment to complete. Plenary - Naming salts task on the worksheet using the key from the starter as help. Symbol equations are written underneath as a student challenge task. Objectives: GOOD – NAME salts formed between a metal oxide/hydroxide and an acid GREAT – DESCRIBE a method to prepare a dry soluble salt from and insoluble substance and an acid EPIC – EXPLAIN why the reaction between a base and dilute acid is a neutralisation reaction As always, any feedback is welcome :)

Electrolysis lesson looking at introducing students to the set up of electrolysis and the underlying ideas involved, including a quick recap of ionic compounds, metallic, non-metallic charges and word/symbol equations. From here, students develop an understanding of the origin of the word "electrolysis" and label the parts involved before describing the movement of ions and finally writing half equations: Starter - Students are reminded of the formula of ionic substances through the use of the starter questions. From here, it is important that they understand the charges of metal and non metal ions as a basic principle to apply later in the lesson Intro/Recap -Building on from the starter, students familiarise themselves with word and symbol equations from previous topics. Main 1 - Youtube link in the notes section used to introduce electrolysis whilst introducing the origin of the word from ancient greek. Students then attempt tasks 1 + 2 on the worksheet before self-assessing their work. Main 2 -Introduces half equations to the students in the form of a worked example. The example can then be used to help students complete task 3, which is writing half equations for the electrolysis of 3 basic ionic compounds and 1 challenge compound. Plenary - Quick true of false activity summarising some learning points from the lesson. Objectives:4 – WRITE a word equation to describe electrolysis 5 – DESCRIBE electrolysis in terms of movement of ions 6 – PREDICT the products at each electrode from electrolysis of a molten ionic compound (and complete a balanced half symbol equation) Additional information is written in the notes section of each slide. As always, and feedback is appreciated :)

Lesson looking at the process of vaccination and herd immunity. Starter - Picture on the board of child being vaccinated. Students answer 3 questions relating to the picture as a means to open discussion around the topic. Main 1 - 3 teacher led slides designed to first define, explain, then apply the concepts of Antibody's, Antigens and Pathogens and their role in immunity. Students then use this as a springboard to complete the pictures of a storyboard in relation to how vaccines work. Main 2 - Students are introduced to Herd Immunity very simply then watch a 2 minute video (Link in notes section) before answering 3 questions on Herd Immunity with 1 challenge question added in. Plenary - Summarising today's learning in the form of a 140 character "tweet" Objectives: 4 – DESCRIBE why people are vaccinated. 5 – EXPLAIN how vaccination works 7 – EXPLAIN how vaccinating a large number of a population reduces the spread of a pathogen Additional guidance in the notes section of the slides. As always, and feedback in appreciated :)

Simple "all in one lesson" on one PPT with a practical task of preparing a microscope slide using an onion. Equipment needed: Onion – Knife – Cutting Tile – Staining liquid (Iodine) – Microscopes – Microscope slides – Cover Slips – Tweezers. Instructions of activities in the notes section of each slide. Starter - 2 questions. Why is it useful to use a microscope to view an object? Why can’t we just use a magnifying glass? Main 1 - Light microscope. Slide 3 can be printed out for students to label the parts of a microscope or you can complete a back to board drawing with 2 students. Students discuss in pairs what they think each microscope part does. Main 2 - Practical demo. I have not included a method sheet here as I like to complete the practical as a demonstration for the students to watch as they write their own method to the practical. There is an equipment list and very simple method on the last slide. Extension - Students calculate total magnification from 3 given problems. Plenary - Students look at 4 objects which have been magnified and guess what they are. Objectives: GOOD – USE a light microscope to observe a prepared slide GREAT – EXPLAIN how to use a microscope to observe a cell OUTSTANDING – CALCULATE magnification of a cell

Double lesson with easy practical investigation of friction of different shoes/trainers(Need ruler, ramps and different shoes). Lessons follow a thematic approach with students learning about the Nike research facility and the scientists that work there, relating forces and friction to their work. In the second lesson, students will learn about drag force and apply their understanding of both lessons to use success criteria to produce a scientific report for Nike on the two subject areas. Students then have to present their data and answer questions on the experiment. Contains differentiated investigation worksheets for higher/lower attaining students. Notes are on each slide detailing additional activities and ideas for teaching. Objectives: GOOD – PRESENT and COLLECT data accurately GREAT – USE experimental data/knowledge to inform your answers OUTSTANDING – APPLY your own knowledge to solve a problem/answer a question

Depending on your structure, this could be a practical lesson or A theory one. The practical lesson involves students prepare Onion and Cheek cells to study through a microscope. Alternatively, you could skip that part and have the students work on the magnification calculation sheet. Or you could do both! Additional notes giving ideas and hints for activities within the lesson are in the notes sections of the slides. Equipment needed - Onion – Knife – Cutting Tile – Staining liquid (Iodine) – Microscopes – Microscope slides – Cover Slips – Tweezers – Cotton Swabs Starter - Students identify objects zoomed in through a microscope. Main 1 - Students discuss the parts of a microscope before preparing onion and cheek cells to study under a microscope. Main 2 - Students then move on to calculate magnification from the differentiated worksheet (Answers provided) Plenary - Students then discuss the difference between magnification and resolution with the help of a picture as a prompt. Objectives: GOOD – USE a light microscope GREAT – USE the formula Magnification = Size of Image/Size of real object OUTSTANDING – DESCRIBE the difference between magnification and resolution Hope you enjoy :)

An assembly/presentation about the importance of staying connected whilst being physically apart - more specifically during the Coronavirus pandemic. The presentation is was designed as an introduction to our virtual House Challenge day which was held in place of our actual House Challenge day. The theme was apart but together, built around the circumstances of not being able to physically see and speak to each other but referencing the importance of being able to stay connected. There are narrator instructions within the notes section for each slide.
