Year 10 GCSE (Higher) OCR Gateway Science Suite LIVING FOR THE FUTURE Lessons 1–2 (P2a) 1) Describe how light produces electricity in a photocell. 2) Describe how the power of a photocell depends on light intensity and the surface area exposed. 3) Explain why passive solar heating works. 4) Describe other ways that the Sun’s energy can be harnessed.

Year 10 GCSE (Higher) LIVING FOR THE FUTURE OCR Gateway Science Suite Lessons 11–12 (P2f) 1) …planets, stars, comets, meteors, galaxies and black holes. 2) …gravitational force determines the motion of planets and satellites. 3) Describe a light-year. 4) …unmanned space craft to explore the Solar System.

Students and graph drawing need I say more. I’ve finally written this set of simple rules to help with the new OCR Gateway Coursework but this should be useful with KS3, KS4 and VI Form for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Use the PowerPoint with the class as a reminder before they draw a graph and print and laminate the summary to put on the desks while they draw the graph. I've included a video by Semaj Nosugref the robot to explain things..

This is the basics of my MarkBook I’ve used for years. You can create registers, MarkBooks, controlled assessment and even seating plans, very easily. A little knowledge of Excel is required to maximise the potential of these sheets!

This is a PowerPoint and worksheet that enables students to use SUVAT equations to calculate the maximum height and speed of a tennis ball when they throw it to a friend.

Year 11 GCSE (Higher) OCR Gateway Science Suite ELECTRICITY FOR GADGETS Lessons 1-2 (P6a) 1) …resistance is varied as a result of changing the length of resistance wire in a variable resistor 2) …equation: R = V / I 3) …resistance of an ohmic conductor from a voltage-current graph 4) …voltage-current graph for a non-ohmic conductor, such as filament lamp, in terms of changing resistance

Extinction (Hybridisation of Wildcats) Biology GENETICS AND EVOLUTION Objectives Outline the process of extinction Give examples of endangered and extinct species Explain different causes of extinction Analyse the traits of different cats to estimate their genetic composition Consider the limitations of this phenotypic data Organisms are adapted to survive and compete in their environment. If the environment changes they can struggle to survive and reproduce If this happens to a whole species it can go extinct Causes of Extinction: catastrophic events, habitat change, over exploitation, alien invasion, disease, hybridisation Use a series of questions to evaluate photos of cats and identify wildcats. Complete the table for each of the four cats using the trait descriptors. Total the scores and decide which cats are wildcats, hybrids or domestic cats. Links to BBC Winterwatch 2016.

This is a FREE SAMPLE LESSON to show the quality of my work. Please take it, use it and enjoy it! I've uploaded the entire of the GCSE OCR Physics lessons P1-P6. P1 Energy for the home P2 Living for the future P3 Forces for transport P4 Radiation for life P5 Space for reflection P6 Electricity for gadgets Many of these have some very fun and simple practicals, linked homework sheets including marking PowerPoints and all are animated and have lots of pupil appeal. They contain a lot of my life with as many photos as possible taken of me and my family. The photo on the roller-coast is of me and my wife to be, our wedding photo is in digital images, the ultra sound scan is my eldest draught and the various animals are ours. This lesson is typical of my work but by no means my best! Please take a look at my other resources. Curriculum
