A2 Biology Respiration - written as a list of reactions and then again as a silly story for students to draw as a cartoon or just memorise. Using this technique I have had students be able to memorise and then recite every part of respiration from glycolysis to the electron transport chain under an hour. It takes a bit of a leap of faith to try it, but it has worked well for me. Let me know if you need any help. Pete

Starter/Plenary exit ticket-type activity which asks students to draw a picture on an instagram template about 'today’s topic' as a starter and then in a plenary to show progress within the lesson.

These personal learning checklists have been created by John Andrews, Chemistry teacher and Deputy Head at The City of Leicester College. They have been broken down into key areas of study for each unit with RAGed self assessment boxes for each one. Great resource to support revision.

Great resource to support student understanding of key words, phrases, numbers, equations, literary characters...etc. Students place a different key word/phrase etc from your topic in each of the 7 hexagons. In the grid below, student's explain how each word is linked to the one next to it, e.g. for “A” you would explain how the word in the centre hexagon links to the word in the top hexagon.

Twitter template for students to summarise their learning at the start, middle and end of a lesson or series of lessons. Great way to show development of learning and student understanding (especially by looking at what they use as a hashtag). A great example of a hashtag was used in a recent biology lesson about the menstrual cycle. A student added the hashtag #who_let_the_eggs_out? Genius! Enjoy, Pete Sanderson @lessontoolbox
