This is lesson 7 of 7 lessons that can be used in part or whole to teach the biology topic of interdependence in animals and plants. This lesson explains how to use the graphs of predator and population graphs. Modeling how to read the graph and why populations go up and down. After the modeling there is opportunity for pupils to apply their knowledge to a new graph. Challenge brings in the influence of seasons on populations. These lessons are not board specific and can be used (dependent on ability) from KS3 and KS4. Lesson 7 - Predator Prey Population Graphs (THIS LESSON) THESE ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO BUY Lesson 1 - Interdependence & Biodiversity Lesson 2 - Sampling Plants (Quadrats) Lesson 3 - Abundance of Animals (sampling techniques) Lesson 4 - Competition in Animals Lesson 5 - Competition & Adaptations in Plants Lesson 6 - Adaptations in Animals Each lesson has a interactive PowerPoint that has a starter and comprehensive explanations that will allow for questioning and discussion. There is a pupil worksheet (both in Publisher for editing, and PDF forms). The worksheet mirrors what has been taught in the lesson. There is a question (and a mark scheme) that can be used to consolidate the learning in the lesson or as homework. The lesson is labeled in the CLF (common lesson format) so pupils are aware of what that section is about.

New Grade (9-1) GCSE Tracker

(0)
This is my new GCSE grade 9-1 tracker. I have designed it so that it can be edited and changed so that it can be used in any subject. The sheet has space for 250 students to be housed. This sheet is your one stop place to track your GCSE class data. The sheet are 12 custom tests (which you can change the raw score and label) and 3 summative tests - these are collated to give an average and an old grade (A*-G) and the new GCSE grading system (9-1) along side each other AND the level of progress. The sheet will calculate the %, grades (old and new), averages and levels of progress.The tests are grouped into three sections (4 tests in each) so - science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) or English (Written, Literature, Creative) etc. There are 3 Monitoring areas that you can record scores that go towards the whole school data - if this data is below the levels of progress then it will flag the possibility of intervention. Parts of the sheet are protected so that staff can only add their raw data and not accidentally enter where there are formulas that generate supplementary data. The sheet comes with instruction and the password to unlock locked areas of the sheet should you wish. There are screen shots on my page that are free to look at if you want to see what it can do and does before purchase.

Bespoke resource that was originally written as a science project based curriculum for year 7. It could be used in primary for a project based activity that should take at least 10 hours to complete. It covers ecology, food chains, fossils, predator prey relationships. classification and adaptations of animals for survival. Lesson plans, PowerPoints, & worksheets are all included. There are some simple practicals (like making a fossil included). My pupils loved this project.

AQA GCSE Science (Chemistry Aspect) Required Practical Tracker Bundle

(2)
I have put together a complete system of resources that will allow staff to easily record and monitor the required practical aspect of the new GCSE science that is replacing the old ISA coursework. The resources include Whole Class Practical Tracker, Pupil Cover Sheets for Each of the Practicals (8 required practical sheets) and an 'On-The-Day' Practical sheets (again one for each of the 8 Chemistry practicals), for the teacher to use in class during the practical to record the Apparatus and Technique (AT) skills that each pupil has to be competent with in Chemistry. This bundle covers the 8 required Chemistry practicals for the Combined Science and Chemistry GCSE's All of the resources compliment each other, use the key coding for assessment to reduce workload and make things easy. I have mirrored the A'Level AQA Practical Assessment for the AQA GCSE, it just seemed logical so that the systems are similar. I have bundled these resources so that it is more cost efficient. If you wish to see how the bundle works and see some screenshots then the instructions are a free download on my page. Enjoy.

GCSE Physics - ELECTRICITY Equations PowerPoint - FREE Demo

GCSE Physics - ELECTRICITY Equations PowerPoint - FREE Demo

(0)
Since the declaration that GCSE Science pupils wont be able to use equations sheets in future exams, I have been thinking of a system that will help them learn the equations and help staff in facilitating that learning. I have devised this. It is supposed to be used as a starter / plenary for pupils to go over and over and try to implant the equations over time. I will use it in every lesson, parrot fashion for success! This is not board specific as they all will need to learn them, and can be used for the current legacy GCSE students too as a revision resource. This demo only has the questions for 'Resistance' questions, but you will get a good idea of what the paid product will be like. The GCSE PHYSICS Electricity Equations full can be found in my store. It has questions on Units Questions, Resistance (R=V/I), Power (P=E/t), More Power (P=IV), Even More Power (P=I^2 R), and Electrical Energy (E=VQ). There is another demo and full powerpoint on Energy Equations on my page. I have used the template for my ABCD cards for this endeavour, but you don't need those to utilise these PowerPoints. Enjoy.

AQA Science ISA Tracker

This spreadsheet can be used to collate the ISA grades for Core, Additional, Biology, Chemistry and Physics ISA's. The sheet will calculate the grade achieved from the 2015 AQA grade boundaries. It will also do a count to show how many pupils have achieved A* - G in each piece. There is enough space for 250 pupils in the core and additional and 150 for the triple science. The grade the pupil gets will RAG change colour with regard to what their target is. Enjoy and I hope it helps. If you like have a look at some of the other spreadsheet resources I have in my shop.
