This is great lesson get your students talking for weeks and doing extra homework projects. This beautifully illustrated resource is designed to help students assess what life in the trenches was like for soldiers in the First World War as well as what the greatest daily dangers or challenges. As you can see from the preview slides, the tasks and activities have been written to appeal to the full spectrum of ability.
This resource is designed to be a standalone lesson, but it can be also used alongside any mainstream text book on this topic. I usually project the slides, tasks and activities on the board, but some of activities can also be printed off and placed around the tables in the classroom. The resource is full editable so you can easily sequence the lesson to suit your students and the context of your school. I usually supplement this resource with relevant clips from Your Tube from films like ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, ‘War Horse’ and ‘Gallipoli.’
When you purchase this resource you will receive a twenty three slide PowerPoint which includes an optional ‘snowballing’ or a ‘buzz and go starter’. The next section of the PP then includes information slides and activities on life in the trenches including sleeping accommodation, food, mud, trench foot, health and hygiene, body lice, enemy action, shell shock. These are then followed up by a series of consolidation exercises culminating in a thinking skills review triangle. I have also included relevant questions and addition slides with useful templates to use alongside this resource. For more information, please see the preview sample.
The aims and objectives for these resources are as follows:
Theme: The First World War
Know: What was everyday life like for the soldiers in the trenches?
Understand: How did they overcome their daily problems?
Evaluate: How reliable are the official images of life in the trenches?
Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration
WILF – What Am I Looking For?
Identify & describe: How did soldiers cope with everyday life in the trenches?
Explain: How did the overcome their daily problems?
Analyse: How reliable are the official images of like in the trenches?

A 3 page video question booklet to be used alongside the BBC video (available easily on YouTube) ‘Hinduism: My Life, My Religion’.
Covers various things, such as vegetarianism, god and goddess images (murtis), the arti ritual, Raksha Bandan brother-sister festival, the cycle of life death and rebirth, karma, Hindu cremation and putting ashes into a river, marriage, Holi and Diwali. The answers to each of the questions is included on the answer sheet.
The video is 30 minutes long, time to complete the booklet and feedback answers would fill a lesson. Could finish the lesson by getting students to make their own resolution for the next school year if you wish (fits in with the end of the video)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Activity, Count Rate and Half Life for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Physics 4.4.2.3 and the parts of 4.4.2.1 regarding activity and count rate (which make more sense in this lesson) – the rest of 4.4.2.1 (and all of 4.4.2.2) are in the previous lesson “radioactive decay and nuclear equations”.
As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.
My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy.
What’s Included:
• Starter / Do Now Activity
• Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams.
• Worked examples of calculations and questions.
• Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers.
• Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards.
• Answers for all questions
• All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons.
• Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing.
Learning objectives:
Describe what is meant by the “activity” of an unstable nuclei, and how it is measured.
Describe what is meant by the “count rate” of an unstable nuclei, and how it is measured.
Define what is meant by the “half life” of a radioactive isotope.
Explain the concept of half life and relate it to the random nature of radioactive decay.
Calculate the half life of a radioactive isotope, including by using graphs.
Calculate the decrease in activity / count rate of a radioactive isotope after a given number of half lives, expressing it as a ratio.
The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.
Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

This is an activity I got my students to complete when we were half way through our novel study of the book Holes. The assessment criteria can be used by teachers or peers to assess the student's presentation. Students must put themselves in the shoes of one of the characters.
This is a fun beginning of the year activity to get to know your students and help them to readjust to the school system by doing a relaxing, fun activity. It is suitable for both virtual and face-to face learning. Including music in the activity will spice up your lesson while allowing your students to be creative. It will also allow them to reflect on their lives and share the turning points in their lives with the whole class and with you, which will help to you build positive relationships with them and build a positive classroom community. I posted the Power Point version here, and you can find the links for Google Slides versions in the Teachers Guide. Enjoy:)

KS1 Science: My life cycle
Use this activity with its quality questioning to help teach the life cycle of humans in KS1 Science. It complements our book ‘Growing and Changing’ from our FUNdamental Science series. For more information, downloads and to purchase our books, please visit www.rubytuesdaybooks.com
This download helps meet the following National Curriculum targets:
Year 2: Animals, including humans
Statutory requirements:
Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
Find out about and describe the basic needs of animals for survival.
Describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different types of food and hygiene.
Notes and guidance (non-statutory):
Pupils should be introduced to the basic needs of animals for survival, as well as the importance of exercise and nutrition for humans. They should also be introduced to the processes of reproduction and growth in animals.
Pupils might work scientifically by: observing, through video or first-hand observation and measurement, how different animals, including humans, grow; asking questions about what things animals need for survival and what humans need to stay healthy; and suggesting ways to find answers to their questions.
