This lesson is designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy GCSE Biology ‘Organisation’ SoW. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy Biology, Chemistry and Physics SoW please visit my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This lesson begins with an introduction to the types of problems which may arise with the heart, for example leaky valves or problems with the natural pacemaker cells. Pupils are then given a grid with problems of the heart, causes and how to fix the problem all jumbled up. Students will need to shade the boxes that all go together the same colour. For lower ability students they will probably need to discuss this with others around them and they want to to check with you before they start to colour. Once completed the students can self-assess their work. The next activity should take up a large part of the lesson, around the room place a couple of copies of the posters found at the end of the PowerPoint slide. Pupils will need to walk around the room and use this information to complete the tasks displayed on the board. (If a class is quite disruptive you may want to place this information on desks and not allow students out of their seat!). Once completed pupils can sit back down, swap their work with the person next to them and mark their work using the answers provided. The last activity is a past-paper question which involves comprehension and evaluation skills to be implemented. Once again the mark scheme is provided so pupils can assess their own work. The plenary activity is for pupils to 3 facts, 2 key words and 1 question about what they have learnt this lesson. All resources are included within the PowerPoint presentation. Any questions please leave a comment, if you downloaded and used this resource please leave feedback for me :) thanks!

For more lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 please visit my shop at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience. The lesson begins with a demonstration, students will be shown a demo whereby alkali metals are dropped in water one at a time, students need to note down their observations in a table. Once this is complete, students will be asked to predict what happens when francium and caesium are dropped in water, students will then watch a video to check whether their answer is correct. Students will now be shown the general word equation for a metal + water, students will now be asked to copy and complete a set of further metal + water word equations. This task can then be assessed using the mark scheme provided. Next, students will be given a set of statements and a number of grouped metals, knowing what they do about the reactivity of these metals with oxygen and with acid (from previous lessons) students will be asked to match the groups of metals to the correct statements - describing their relative reactivity. Once this task has been completed, students can self-assess their work using the mark scheme provided. Following this, students will need to use the statements provided to describe the way in which these metals react with dilute acid, once this task is complete students can self-assess their work. Students will now be shown the word equation for the reaction of metal with steam, including the balanced symbol equation, with state symbols. Students will be asked to then write out the balanced symbol equation for zinc + steam, the answer to this will be provided so students can mark their work. Lastly, students are given a set of sentence starters (metals) and they will need to match these to the correct sentence enders (description of the metal). This work can be marked and corrected using the mark scheme provided. The plenary task requires students to write down three facts, three key words and one question to test their peers knowledge of what was learned this lesson. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

This a revision lesson aimed at AQA B1 Core Science topics on nervous and hormonal control. Pupils begin the lesson looking at the differences between nervous and hormonal control and assessing their current knowledge on the topics by looking at a set of learning objectives and marking them green, amber or red. Students then go on to complete a revision worksheet on the topic areas and will then re-assess their ability to meet the learning objectives, hopefully showing progress! The page numbers to help the students complete the work are on the sheet, these page numbers are specific to the green Science A text books for the AQA course. Pupils will finish the lesson by completing a past-paper question and peer-assessing their work.

For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The first activity of this lesson requires pupils to sort cards of information regarding particle arrangement, movement of particles and closeness of particles, into either solids/liquids/gases. Students will then need to copy and complete the table of information, this task can be self-assessed using the mark scheme within the PowerPoint presentation. Next, students are introduced to the kinetic theory of matter which applied to solids, liquids and gases. Pupils are given some information on the way particles in these three states of matter behave in relation to each other, particularly the speed/direction particles move in. Students will now need to watch a video on states of matter and will need to answer a set of questions, once this task is complete students can use the mark scheme provided to either self or peer assess their work. Using information from the video students will complete a diagram to show the transitions between different states of matter, students will need to match the correct process to the correct label on the diagram. Students can then mark their work using the answers provided. Lastly, students are introduced (or reminded of) the law of the conservation of mass and how this applies to changes of states of matter, before then completing a ‘Quick Check’ task which requires students to answer a set of questions based upon what they have learned this lesson. Again, the mark scheme for this task is included in the PowerPoint so students can assess and correct their own work. The plenary activity is for pupils to write a twitter message to summarise what they have learned this lesson. including #keywords from the lesson!

This lesson is designed for the KS3 Year 8 Science course, specifically the P2 1.2 unit on ‘Energy’. More Biology, Chemistry and Physics resources can be found in my TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins by introducing the concept of ‘work done’, by using the example of a cyclist on a bike. The first task the pupils will need to complete is to produce a mind map of activities which require work to be done in order for something to happen. Students can discuss their ideas with their partners, they can write their ideas down into their books and then check their work against the answers provided in the PowerPoint. Pupils are then shown the equation to calculate work done and they can work through a model question. You can work through this question with pupils on the board or ask them to try and complete it in their books, students can then self-assess their work. The main activity for this lesson is a practical activity, the method for this practical is included in the PowerPoint presentation. Pupils will drag a wooden block across the desk a measured distance, the wooden block will be dragged initially with no elastic bands around it and then with one elastic band and finally with two elastic bands. Pupils will measure the force applied to drag the block using a Newton meter and record their results in a table (table included at the end of the PowerPoint). Using the measured distance and the force applied pupils can then work out the work done to drag each type of wooden block. Students will now complete a ‘quick check’ task whereby students will need to complete a set of problems on ‘work done’ calculations. Once complete, students can self-assess their work against the answers provided. Finally, students are given a worksheet of problems which have been completed by another pupil. Students will need to mark and correct the work, making corrections where necessary. This task can then be marked and assessed using the mark scheme provided. The plenary task requires students to write a twitter message to explain what they have learned today, including #keywords. All resources are included at the end of the presentation, thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience The lesson begins with an introduction into how to draw electrical circuit diagrams, a diagram is shown and students need to identify the correct components using the labels provided. The next part of the lesson focuses on the roles of different electrical components, students will each be given a different piece of information about a component. They can then walk around the room, sharing information with each other in order to complete a table on the components and their roles. This work can then be self-assessed once students have completed it. The next task will assess students understanding of these components in a ‘Quick Check - Who am I ?’ task. Pupils will need to identify the component from the description given, they can write their answers in their books and then check their work against the answers when they are revealed. Pupils will the be reminded of the rules on how to draw a circuit diagram, before being given a list of descriptions of different circuits. Students need to draw the circuits that are being described, the answers to this task can then be revealed using the mark scheme in the PowerPoint presentation. The last part of the lesson will require pupils to construct electrical circuits using electrical equipment, three diagrams of electrical circuits are provided to students, they need to use these to construct their own circuits. The plenary task requires pupils to complete a word search, once the words have been found they should write a definition of each of them All resources are included at the end of the presentation.
