This is an edited version of 'Deadinburgh BioMaths' uploaded by BBSRC. I've added to it to make it more relevant to the topic of microbes. I ran this over the course of 2 double lessons and my mixed ability Yr8 class loved it! In order to stop the zombies we need to know if the microbe is a bacteria, a virus or a fungus! This is my first upload, please comment with suggestions for improvements.

Can you crack the code using colour filters? Project the powerpoint slide and it looks like a random mixture of letters. Hold up a coloured filter (red, yellow and blue) and secret messages appear! Quite a nice activity that can be used to elicit discussion when talking about colour.

I get one of the students to accurately weigh a can of soda (to 2 decimal places). I then get them to open the can and weigh it every 5 min or so throughout the lesson. This allows a good talking point about how often you should take a measurement. The students seem to really engage with this real life example of particle theory. There is a lot of opportunity for getting the students to find problems with the diagram and improve on it demonstrating higher order thinking.

Follow the link, the picture is just because I had to add a file. A Prezi containing resources for the new OCR specification of AS Chemistry module 2.2. It pretty much follows the textbook in order. Contains links to other resources found on TES and elsewhere. https://prezi.com/3fez6acc8dfw/electrons-bonding-and-structure/?webgl=0 Enjoy!
