Complete lesson - starts with managing your money quiz by rhianrebecca on this site. Students then look at examples of job adverts. Previously they will have considered jobs and the nature of jobs, evaluated themselves and adverts for sexism etc. and now it is time to make a job wanted ad where they have to think about everything that they have learned so far. Lesson ends with careers wordsearch - also from this site. Probably needs tweaking for own role/ age etc.

Print out on thin card and play. It works really well with the money and pieces from Monopoly Junior. Other wise, you will need money, a die and some counters. Good way to use Christmas time when they don’t want to do ‘work’.

This is a brief homework comparing the statue in D-9 to Arbeit Macht Frei - both lies that were 'told' in sculpture. It is for grade 1-3 students really but could be adapted.

A worksheet asking students to research some of the jobs that they are less likely to have heard of . There are 30 sheets and each has a different job at the top. I ask students to pick one at random.

worksheet where students must read summaries of studies and decide whether they are primary or secondary. It works best if you can get them to explain orally too.

This is the first worksheet to examine the way of writing down scientific predictions in psychology. Please note, we would not yet have covered operationalising the variables or the direction of hypotheses. This is an EARLY worksheet

Can You Spot the Logo spelt out in letters from famous logos (UK) Students should see if they can spot where the letters come from - useful when starting work on media to note cumulative effects

Top Trumps for a mixture of male and female inventors. Students should decide on the stats/ importance. I am going to laminate them and play then but the important conversations are the ones where students see links and make their decisions about relative importance.

Students have to use Dingbats to identify studies where expectations and schemas affect results (War of the Ghosts, Allport & Postman, Brewer & Treyens) linking to Bruner & Minturn’s study on perception and expectations. Exam Q for practise too.

worksheet for students to look at the 4 types of sampling in AQA GCSE 1-9 spec. I get them to arrange counters to show the sampling types and photograph them, putting the digital photos into the worksheet. You could get them to draw the pictures. This follows an introduction with M&Ms (other sweets are available) where students only get to eat them if they have picked a handful with all the colours and no repetitions.

Two lessons working with geog and science to show how soil analysis works to solve the murder of Joe G. O’graphy. Apologies for puns. You will need 6 pairs of shoes in bags and seven different samples of soil. Joe G O’Graphy is dead and students must match the soil samples using sensory analysis, pH and soil profiles in a water solution to find whodunnit. When they have, they must prep to give their evidence in front of a judge (I ask the Head or Deputy to pop in). Also included is a reading comprehension for extension.

We dress up in police hats and the students have to decide what elements of Reconstructive Memory they should be conscious of as they read each eyewitness statement. They write those ‘notes to self’ on to sticky notes and be prepared to defend them verbally to me, their sergeant. This can be done as groups or individuals. The resource has a photo of a bus crash and I give a trigger warning before using it.
