I am a super dyslexic teacher, with a dash of ADD, all my resources are built with access in mind, because honestly, if they weren't I wouldn't be able to read them. Note the pastel tones, chunking and clear notation ques. As such my resources are also super easy to scaffold or stretch, and definitely easy to replicate.
Please enjoy, and hang in there, at whatever school you're at, I can guarantee that those kids need you in their lives a lot more than you realise.

Expanding on the Yr7 base knowledge this lesson goes through the differences between transveres and longitudinal waves, labelling diagrams as you go, I find this to be so much more fun if you have an airzooka for blasting the class with and a pocket laser and ray box for impropt demos as needed. Of particular use will be a prism to demo that light is mad eof different colours and wavelengths.
Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!
My style of teaching isn’t for everyone, I’m a dyslexic teacher who’s heard it all, my lessons are all catered towards accessibility (because if they were not I’d never be able to read them myself). Everything is short sharp and to the point, I don’t believe in endless writing, reams of printing, spoon feeding diagrams or pointless activities. Every minute matters!
Be sure to check out all my other resources, as a personal goal I intend to share all my resources at least once because hey, the government isn’t going to make it easier and we both know you are reading this way outside of your work hours.
Enjoy, comment or rate if you can, but most of all hang in there, they need you way more than you realise!
I had a revalation for this lesson, get two of your most overt and dramatic kids, two piles of printer paper and get them to ram the piles together and BOOM, instant mountain range complete with stratified layers, take a picture, get the kids to sketch and its easily the simplest easiest way to get them to understand how orogeny works. My guys loved this!

Recently updated! This lesson in current use has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, thank you to everyone who helped in the development!
Love this lesson, my degree is in environmental science and getting the kids hands on and identifying rocks is the best way to go about it, you don’t necessarily require samples for this, but it does amplify the learning and engagement by a long way. Don’t forget to throw in a few geology jokes, I mean, there’s loads, almost to a fault, you might have to dig up some up, some are a bit schist, but its gneiss to try and the kids will learn to take nothing for Granite.

The MOTHER-OF-ALL-DEBATES is included with this bundle, students will take time learning the facts then let the learning fly in the final lesson. Students will never forget how they learned about renewable and fossil fuel energy!
Top-tips
Manage the quiet ones, encourage and reward their opinions, the louder students and the budding activists will take care of themselves.
Let them know there’s a debate to get ready for, set them homework for research on debates, energy resources and practice constantly how you want them to argue. (Demoing this is so much FUN).
