Wonder Wall Psychology Display This is a firm favourite with my students. Display consists of 28 ‘did you know’ facts that all come from psychological research. Example ‘did you knows’ include: **Did you know **If you smile when you are in a bad mood, it will immediately improve your mood because the simple action of thinking about smiling and using the muscles is enough to trigger happy chemicals in your brain. Did you know When you remember a past event, you’re actually remembering the last time you remembered it. Did you know Research supports that even a small dose of power changes how a person’s brain operates and diminishes empathy. Can be used to create a colourful and interesting display board. Plain letter templates attached for the title - but I jazzed mine up by buying some wrapping paper from paperchase to make it prettier!

All resources were used for a 2hr GCSE taster session. Taster 1: Students are introduced to psychology through the discussion of gifs to form a definition. Students are introduced to the course and complete a diamond 9 activity designed to get students discussing their justification for their thought processes. Taster 2: students focus on how psychologists investigate topics using different theories. students investigate the research question “What causes evil behaviour?” After discussing how ‘evil’ could be operationalised (e.g. aggression, selfish acts that lead to harm, lack of empathy), students complete a rotation task in which they are introduced to a number of theories (including milgram, conditioning, social learning, and brain scanning). The off specification topics can be used to enthuse students regarding the new subject.
