Versatile resource. A ten-question animated slideshow quiz with sound effects on eleven slides which also be used as an exit ticket activity. Each pupil has three cards A, B and C. They select the answer to a question and hold up the appropriate card before the answer to the question is revealed. This also provides instant feedback on pupil progress for the teacher and the opportunity for further explanation. It can also be used by pupils individually in a network room or loaded onto the school website for use as revision at home. Each slide shows the instructions reading time, thinking time, hold up your card and click for answer. Functions are timed but can be over-ridden by a mouse-click. This format was highly praised by inspectors. The quiz is available as a ppsx file so that it runs as a slideshow. The quiz is a part of a fully resource lesson which is also available.

Finish and reinforce the KS3 cells module or revisit it prior to exams with this innovative, enjoyable and challenging escape room lesson. Prior knowledge required: • structure of plant and animal cells; • function of nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts, mitochondria; • differences between plant and animal cells; • recognise diagrams of and know the differences in specialised cells such as red blood cells, root hair cells, fat cells, nerve cells, palisade cells, egg cells, ciliated cells. Pupils have to work their way through the clues to find the code to a combination lock which has been set to the same code as one borrowed from the science department and used on the door of the walk – in freezer in the school kitchen. The school cook has now been accidentally locked in and the combination need to be found. The pack contains: • PowerPoint – scene setting and instructions (sound effects and built-in timer); • crossword; • word search; • dominoes activity; • worksheet (differentiated over two versions); • code breaker sheet; • answer keys; • lesson plan. If time is limited just the crossword, word search and domino can be used. With a minimum of 50 minutes available one of the differentiated worksheets can also be used. Both 3 and 4 number combination locks can be purchased very cheaply online if using an actual combination lock for realism. Fully resourced and differentiated lessons on these topics are available.

This action-packed lesson on specialised cells is fully resourced and differentiated with 12 activities and 7 learning outcomes. Pupils will learn to identify the differences between specialised cells and typical cells and explain how that difference equips the specialised cell to perform their particular function. Specialised cells studied are chloroplasts, red blood cells, fat cells, nerve cells, root hair cells, ciliated cells, sperm cells and egg cells. Easy to follow instructions are given on the PowerPoint and worksheets so that the lesson practically runs itself. Activities include literacy, group work, peer assessment, self-assessment, pupil response to assessment, and feedback to the teacher on pupil learning via the exit ticket quiz. This pack contains material for two hours lesson time to enable teachers to select resources to totally bespoke their lesson according to pupil ability, time available for the topic and focus of departmental/school policy. Resources not used in the lesson can be additional homework or used for pre-examination revision. An easy to follow one-page flow chart lesson plan indicates where logical choices between resources can be made and indicates whether each activity includes literacy, oracy or AFL . Objective To know that cells are changed or specialised to perform a particular function. To be able to identify the differences between specialised cells and typical animal and plant cells . *To explain how those differences allow the specialised cell to perform their particular function.

Three fully resourced lessons on photosynthesis. Photosynthesis facts Virtual investigation 1 – does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis Virtual investigation 2 – testing a leaf for starch The virtual investigations take the student through prediction, planning drawing a graph and conclusion. They can be used as instructions for the student to follow to perform their own experiment or the scientifically accurate animations themselves can be used to obtain results. What’s Covered Function of the leaf is photosynthesis. Role of played by xylem, phloem, guard cells, stomata and chloroplasts in photosynthesis. Graphing rate of photosynthesis against, carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity and temperature. Word equations for photosynthesis and respiration. Comparison of photosynthesis and respiration. Paraffin heaters as sources of carbon dioxide in greenhouses. Use of glucose in plants. Gas exchange in plants at different times of day. Testing a leaf for starch – investigation. Effect of light intensity on rate of photosynthesis – investigation. What’s Included Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz + 2 virtual investigations Answer/mark scheme PowerPoint Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) Anticipation Guides(combined starter and plenary) 2 Foldables (students use to make their own notes) 2 Cut-and-stick activities pupil uses to make their own notes) 3 Worksheets to support the PowerPoint Fact sheet Homework Fact share worksheet 12 Taboo cards Pupil progress self-assessment checklist Exit Ticket Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources This pack contains 19 printables and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available.

The pack also includes an optional virtual experiment on food tests. What’s Covered Carbohydrates provide energy Proteins needed for growth and repair Lipids (fats) provide energy and insulation Minerals needed for a healthy body – examples iron for red blood cells and calcium for teeth and bones Vitamins – enable body to use other nutrients more efficiently – examples Vit A for eyesight, Vit C prevents scurvy, Vit K for blood clotting Roughage (fiber) moves food through the gut. Why roughage helps prevent bowel cancer explained. Importance of water in the diet. Examples of foods containing the five nutrients and roughage. Excess carbohydrates and fats are laid down under the skin. A balanced diet explained. Energy in food and energy needed for activity are measured in kilojoules (kj). Working out the energy in a meal.
