2 ppoints with 12 optical illusions to confound and confuse your students brains.

This is a resource that I created just for fun to have on hand in those awkward moments when you have some time with a class or form that you did not expect to have. It's entirely for fun but I know it will cause arguments and discussions as, quite simply, you will not be able to believe what you see. Any and all feedback is gratefully received, whether positive or developmental.

GCSE PE AQA Spec. Exam style questions on pre-release: James and mark scheme

(0)
This years pre-release material for the 2017 AQA GCSE PE exam is about a year 10 student called James. I'm providing 11 questions on a sheet ready for immediate use as a test or exam. Each answer is worth between 2 and 8 marks. Each answer requires a structured, written answer. Depending on the ability of the students, the test should last about 55 minutes. For those who finish early, they can mark each others papers with the comprehensive Mark Scheme provided. Both exam and mark scheme can be retained for future revision work.
Diff'd Workbook to celebrate the Rugby League World Cup 2017 in October.

Diff'd Workbook to celebrate the Rugby League World Cup 2017 in October.

(0)
This has been created to allow students to understand the celebration that is the Rugby League World Cup and hopefully foster an interest in a minority sport at a time of year when there is not an awful lot happening in the world of sport. I've created this so that all students using it can come complete a workbook that is different from everyone else's but also differentiated to their needs. For example, there are three sheets on Legends, each one has a different task that is aimed at different levels of ability. Students should/could choose or be given a team to follow and have as their nominated team and spark some extra interest in the tournament. Pages are interchangeable so that fast workers can readily move onto the next page whereas slower workers can sheets that they may access more readily. Activities include: *Research activities on the host nations and history of the tournament. *Creating your own opening ceremony. *Matching key terms to their definitions. *Researching nominated team. *Focus on legendary players. *And more This resource can easily be adapted for the other home nations. Any and all feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.

AQA Spec. 3 lessons on School and PE including PESSYP, PESSCL, National Healthy Schools Programme.

(0)
Three lessons. Glossary with checklist to assess learning after every lesson. All on powerpoint and accompanied with a worksheet for Low Attainers to complete instead of making notes. Each lesson begins with a "Do Now," activity for students to complete as soon as they enter the class. Key terms are discussed at the start of the lesson. Exam style questions that are differentiated. Students choose whether to answer the 'Normal' questions or to 'Level-Up!' Tasks within the lessons are a combination of group tasks and individual tasks. It may be an idea to have groups pre-selected. Lesson 1: PE in School Lesson 2: Sports Strategies (PESSYP & PESSCL) Lesson 3: School and Healthy Lifestyles Powerpoint includes teachers notes at intervals to offer further guidance. All feedback greatly received.

Power point guides students through reviewing the previous year. Students complete 1 of 3 worksheets that asks different questions about the past year (example: Who were your best friends? What could you have done better?) Because the sheets are all different, students won't simply copy their neighbour's information. Following that activity, students move on to looking forward to 2017 and creating resolutions in four fields: School, Home, Health and Happiness. They are requested to come up with specific steps to enable them to better achieve their resolutions. There is a sheet for them to complete accordingly. Finally, we try and emulate this with school targets. It would be ideal if these were available but, if not, it could be set as a homework or an extension task to complete. Again, there is a sheet for students to complete if required. The idea for this was to review the resolutions at regular periods but it would also be nice to keep them all in a folder to get out at this time next year, becoming an ongoing activity and a nice keepsake for students. Many thanks. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.
Diff'd lesson on aerobic/anaerobic respiration.  Ready for immediate use, ideal for revision/recap.

Diff'd lesson on aerobic/anaerobic respiration. Ready for immediate use, ideal for revision/recap.

(1)
This is a complete lesson that needs no preparation other than printing the two activity sheets above for some of your students to use. I used this lesson as a recap for my GCSE PE class after they returned from half term holidays thinking they'd struggle to remember the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. I was right, but this lesson lulled them into remembering and applying their notes in a fun and enjoyable way. I was genuinely surprised by how well the lesson went and how much they learned. Lesson starter is a crossword with all the key terms of the lesson. There are two corsswords, one with a word bank of correct answers and one without to aid differentiation. The power point contains a youtube link to an old Merrie Melodies cartoon of the fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. It's 8 and a half minutes long and makes for an interesting start to the lesson. My students were surprisingly attentive throughout! We then had a debate about how we can link this story to demonstrate respiration and it's effects. Once students start to see the link we can begin with the main activity. Students have to retell the story but using some specific terms that relate to respiration. This task is differentiated in three ways. For the more able students they should write their story in continuous prose. For intermediate students there is the attached short version of the story to remind them or to stick in their book. For low ability students there is a comic strip for them to annotate or add dialogue. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.

It's the Euros 2016! 6 round, ready to use, 60 question quiz on powerpoint. Enjoy!

There are six rounds to this quiz with the vast majority of questions being of a nature where the football mad kids who know all the stats will get as many correct as those who rely on guesswork therefore making it very inclusive. Round 1 : Multiple choice . 10 Questions about previous tournaments and this years tournament. Round 2 : The Picture Round. 5 pictures of celebrities who were half-decent at football in their day followed by 5 pictures of mapped countries that students have to name. Round 3 : Trivia. 10 Questions on some of the more interesting and unusual aspects of the Euros. Each answer also brings up some additional information to add context to the answer. Round 4 : Say what you see. 10 Dingbats related to players and places to do with the tournament. Round 5 : Whose strip? Students have 10 representations of the football kits of some of the teams playing and they have to work out the correct country. Round 6 : Where was I born? (Sorry, couldn't think of a better title) 10 players who play for a country that they weren't born in. You've got to name the country they were born in. Tie-breaker about Michel Platini (his playing days not his, alleged, mis-deeds in UEFA). After every question the answer is immediately revealed or is written in the accompanying notes so that students interest is maintained. Any feedback, negative or positive is greatly appreciated. Enjoy the Euros!

Each sheet has part of a comic story printed on it and prompts to complete encouraging them to to think of one characters point of view or to provide ideas as to how the story got to that point. Because they are all so different you can pick one for specific children depending on their interests or the areas that you wish them to develop. They are ideal to use as either a starter or as an extension task both of which could be developed into the creation of a creative story. Any and all feedback is gratefully received whether positive or developmental. Download as word doc. or PDF at your convenience. Any q's, please ask.

Power point guides students through reviewing the previous year. Students complete 1 of 3 worksheets that asks different questions about the past year (example: Who were your best friends? What could you have done better?) Because there are 3 different sheets, students won't simply copy their neighbour's information. Following that activity, students move on to looking forward to 2017 and creating resolutions in four fields: School, Home, Health and Happiness. They are requested to come up with specific steps to enable them to better achieve their resolutions. There is a sheet for them to complete accordingly.

Fun, creative football project book for students to create their own club. Ready to use.

(0)
These are two project books that are identical with one being on PDF and the other being on Publisher for your convenience. The whole idea behind this is for students to create their own football club from scratch. It is very design-based with tasks including creating the club badge, designing a kit and drawing the club mascot. There is also a transfer list task which includes adding up the cost of the transfers. www.transfermarkt.co.uk gives up to date values on players should you require them. Other tasks include simply reviewing some kits from the past and giving them the thumbs up or down and picking your first 11 and creating a key to represent them on the football pitch diagram. The final task is drawing a legendary player for their team. There is one blank page for better drawers and a choice of three designs for the less gifted. This could be done all together as a complete project or used sheet by sheet as an extension task or at form time. Any and all feedback gratefully received.

GCSE PE Loop game. Ideal as a starter, can be re-used. Needs cutting prior to first use.

(0)
This is a game that I used as a starter in every lesson with my GCSE PE group. It's a simple, fun way of getting little snippets of info. into their heads. Give each student at least one slip of paper, more able students can have 2 or more. Each slip has a blue answer, followed by a red question. Every answer corresponds to someone else's question. Whoever has the "Start," begins by asking their question, whoever has the corresponding answer, states it and then reads out their question. This continues until you get to the finish. If someone doesn't know they have the answer, get everyone left in the game to read out their answer until the correct one is announced. You can then ask that person the question at the end of the lesson to see if they have retained their knowledge. My kids loved it and after a couple of weeks it was taking them 2 minutes to complete instead of 10.

Over 100 slides of questions related to the PE GCSE course. Once the slideshow has begun, the slides will play at super speed and are stopped by the pressing the "S" key. The presentation will stop and a question will be visible. The questions are a variety of styles including: True or False Multiple Choice Missing letters Etc. The quiz can be run in a number of ways but I found it best to have students in teams and then, when the question has been selected, you can nominate someone from that team to answer therefore ensuring the student has a question matched to their ability.
