Links for you tube clips with a true or false quiz as a starter and tweet plenary.

A full scheme of work ready to teach with differentiated resources and presentations to support. Some slides are personal to my classes so delete or adapt to suit yours. Lesson 1 - presentation supporting teaching of puberty in boys and girls Lesson 2 - human reproductive parts. Use the students to have the labels and descriptions and stick onto the board before students add them to their own A5 diagrams Lesson 3 - fertilisation (differentiated comic strips available) Lesson 4 - development of a fetus (group task on sorting the correct order and diagrams for students to annotate) Lesson 5 - fetus in the womb (activity in which students create a 3D model of the fetus in the womb) Lesson 6 - OB Menstrual cycle (differentiated worksheets available plus a group sorting activity. Also a starter and plenary to measure progress in learning).

This is a series of lessons that i used to teach acids and alkalis to my year 7 group. There will be a few slides you will need to edit or delete to suit your classes. Lesson 1: the theory behind acids and alkalis and the PH scale. Blank PH scale available also for students to colour and label. Lesson 2: practical into acids and alkalis Lesson 3: neutralisation practical Lesson 4: Making Salts practical

Revision powerpoint covering the objectives on photosynthesis. There are some slides that include questions on food chains (this was a starter based on the previous lessons on food chains) - delete or use elsewhere if you like!

6 lessons covering chemical reactions for my year 7 class. PPT includes slides specific for my classes that you would have to change or delete all together. Includes practical instructions for some lessons. Lesson 1: chemical reactions powerpoint Lesson 1a: chemical reactions practical with practical instructions word document Lesson 2: word equations Lesson 3: combustion PPT Lesson 4: thermal decomposition PPT Lesson 5: conservation of mass PPT Lesson 6: exothermic and endothermic reactions PPT

This is a PPT and ‘qualification’ lesson on how to use bunsen burners. Students carry out a simple practical of melting ice cubes but the focus is on using bunsen burners for the first time. They then receive a ‘bunsen burner qualification’ which is a credit card size print out on card that i have had them stuck on the front of their books.

Presentation to take students through the progressive disease of Alzheimer’s. Attached website links to the Alzheimers UK website and also downloaded mental test with MS and scoring descriptions that students could do. This is a good example of tests used by specialist to help diagnose someone with Alzheimer’s.

A presentation taking students through the process of a nerve impulse crossing a synapse. Some slides will need to be deleted/adapted for your classes.

A series of lessons to support teaching of B1.1 on the new 9-1 GCSE specification including microscopes, animal and plant cells, specialised cells, diffusion and osmosis. Some parts will need adapting for your own classes. Lesson 1 - Microscopes 1 and then Microscopes Part 2 if needed Lesson 2 - Animal and Plant Cells with a cut and stick activity Lesson 3 - Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic (unable to upload resource from AQA due to copyright) Lesson 4 - Specialised Cells in Animals (i printed off the slides for each of the cells and put students into groups to be experts on their given cell and then rearranged the groups so that there was an expert on each cell in a group and they had to teach each other ) Lesson 5 - Specialised Cells in Plants (i again printed off the slides of the cells but this time I stuck them around the room and they moved around teaching themselves or working with a partner) Lesson 6 - Diffusion (demonstration of spraying air freshener around the room whilst students closed their eyes to avoid copying others! - check for asthmatics!!. 3 students stood at the front with me and watch the order of hands go up). Practical involving beetroot in this lesson with hot and cold water Lesson 7 - Osmosis Practical using starch solution and cellophane acting as the membrane Lesson 8 - Osmosis practical using potato - 2 similar methods for different ability classes Lesson 9 - Turgor in Plants - involves a comic trip activity Lesson 10 - unable to upload due to copyright but did some ‘how science works’ bits on the osmosis practical Lesson 11 - active transport (no information sheet available due to copyright) Lesson 12 - exchanging materials (no information sheet available due to copyright)

A series of lessons to support the teaching of B1.2 Cell Division on the new 9-1 GCSE specification. The lessons may need adapting/changing for your classes. Lesson 1 - Cell Division (comes with cell division diagrams for students to annotate) Lesson 2 - Cell Cycle - comes with a literacy activity to prepare students for 6 mark questions in the exam. Mark scheme at the end. Lesson 3 - requires a computer room for students to research information on stem cells. There is a task sheet instructing the students and also a work sheet to complete either by hand on on the computer. The presentation goes over some of the key stem cell dilemmas for when back in the classroom to check their understanding.

A presentation taking students through a nerve impulse, including video links.
