This lesson gives an interesting and student led journey on sound waves and how they move through liquids and solids. This could be expanded to included gasses also, but focusses on the particle model for waves. Aimed at Year 8, this could also be used for other KS3 classes and even Foundation KS4 Used several times with success, including an opportunity for marking a piece of work in class, either by peer review or by teacher

This powerpoint is a simple introduction to the concept of Variation for use with Year 7 groups, although it could be used for Year 8 also. You could even take some parts of this to present to year 9, especially lower level groups. This free resource has been used a number of times with my Year 7s and 8s to great effect and has allowed me to scaffold up to other genetic concepts fairly easily. It includes a number of examples of variation including the peppered moth, the Dodo and a more complex antibiotic related example for more able students. Presented on primarily a blue background to assist dyslexic students Please do rate the resource and I hope it helps you

An entire structured and scaffolded lesson to support Year 8 students with variables and how they translate to graph drawing It is staged to take the students through rules for drawing graphs, differentiating between line graphs and Bar graphs, how to draw axes, and then develops to adding data and creating a completed graph This lesson specifically targets LINE GRAPHS although it doe talk about when a graph would be a line graph instead of a bar graph. It could easily be adapted to make it Bar Graph targeted. It is written in a dyslexia friendly font, and has easy visual background to ensure clarity for many SEND students.

This lesson contains a lesson ppt on Variation from Module 9C1 and the required resources to support the lesson in word so you can edit as per your requirements This lesson, when given with pace, can be delivered in a 1 hour session. It could, however, be used at a slower pace across a double lesson or two separate periods. it is targeted at year 9, however, it could also be used as a year 10 revision lesson

This lesson offers a very student led experience for Year 9s on the inheritance of sex in topic 9B1,(can also be used for Year 10 revision, especially for foundation classes) including the resources required. A very easy lesson to run and enjoyable for the students as it gets them up and moving

This lesson offers an extremely student led hour going over the history of the discovery of DNA including the story of Watson and Crick vs Franklin and Wilkins The ppt comes with fact sheets to support the lesson with a research task that runs for around 30-40 minutes as required. All editable and covering the 9B1 topic of Genetics

An easy introductory lesson to the sometimes difficult Human Reproduction topic for Year 7s Includes some diagrams for book sticking and completion and other simple concepts to start the group of on the topic

This lesson contains a full lesson powerpoint on the properties of light aimed at Year 8 syllabus, although could be used for Y9 or revision for Key Stage 4 also, especially Foundation classes. It covers Ray diagrams, Transparent, Translucent and Opaque and has big student led sections to improve understanding. A very simple lesson that is goof for LA, MA and LA students and acts as a good foundation for lessons on Reflection and refraction.

This 1 hour lesson targeted at Y8 syllabus (although very applicable for Y9 and also KS4, especially Foundation students) covers reflection of single and multiple light waves, angles of incidence and angles of reflection. It is quite student led and will allow for a greater understanding of how light rays reflect off a mirror. it also covers the concept of periscopes and why ripples on water cause distorted images

A 2 lesson set to introduce Bar charts and Line Graphs to year 7s, although could be used for Y8 and 9 classes also Contains a fairly student led activity set in 2 lessons revolving around categoric and continuous data. Starting with Bar Charts, and going on to Line graphs, including LA differentiation ideas and Ha extensions It is expected that this 2 ppt lesson will span 2 1 hour lessons. 1 for Bar Charts and 1 for Line graphs although it is possible for a very high ability class to cover both in one lesson (Perhaps with some small amount of trimming)
