Prokaryote vs Eukaryotes

(0)
Overarching concepts in biology. The lesson requires microscopes and slides, it focuses on identify the difference between prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The AFL component is a 10 mark hinge question this lead to a differentiated outcome depending on the score. There is an exit ticket at the end. Lesson allows student to be independent but at the same time provides structure and fits the students needs.

Hooke's Law - Lesson 8 Forces and Energy

(0)
This a core concept for Edexcel 9-1 GCSE physics. This lesson is aimed at year 8-9 however could be made course specific. The lessons starts by allowing the student to take ownership of their learning by selecting a title for the lesson. The lesson then moves to let students discover Hooke's law in a structured yet problem based and independent way. The students demonstrate learning with a graph and a short conclusion always driving them to come up with Hooke's Law by themselves. The lesson concludes with a Cloze exit ticket.

Cell specialism: sperm, egg and cilliated epithelial

(0)
The lesson starts with a presentation focus to ensure the students show pride in their work. It then moves in to introduce the main cells of the lesson: cilliated epithelial, sperm and egg. After a brief introduction to these there is a ten minute Kagan activity where students can gather information about the cell before sharing with their group. This rolls into a true or false hinge point question to direct learning via differentiated association squares. The learners solidify their understanding with a Cloze activity before finishing with an exit ticket.

Enzymes - amylase and experiment

(0)
The lesson starts by getting student to make the link between amylase and sugar. Three Key definitions are reviewed before a table and colour scale is given out. The students then experiment with amylase, the method made clear. They then demonstrate their understanding with a graph before reviewing learning with and exit ticket.

Plant structure and adaptations

(0)
The lesson start by looking at variety in plants, this case study in the venus fly trap. There is then a hinge point question to decide the starting point for the SOLO taxonomy task; this starts with basic key word match up and finishes with adaptations of cacti and stomata. This includes both the ppt and the SOLO work sheet.

CB5a - Health - Edexcel 2016 - Topic 5 lesson 1: Health

(0)
The lesson is specific the new Edexcel GCSE and part of topic 5. The lesson starts by engaging the students in what it means to be healthy before to learning outcomes are discussed. The lesson moves to look at the WHO definition of help with memory trigger pictures to help students make associations. After this a graph is interpreted that helps establish the correlation between wealth and health, there are questions to guide thinking and HOTS questions to stretch able students. Definitions of communicable and non-communicable disease are reviewed with students before a work sheet and a further HOTS questions stretch learning and demonstrate understanding the lesson concludes with an exam question and model answer.

Free body diagrams - Lesson 10: Forces and Energy

(0)
The lesson starts by recapping what a force diagram is before looking at examples of force diagrams. There is the a active watch video with HOTS questions to answer. The understanding is assessed via a mini-whiteboard identification of forces. The lesson further assesses understanding with a hinge question an this leads a differentiated activity on force diagrams. The lesson concludes with an exit ticket.

Hinge Point Questions (HPQ)

This CPD session is set to last about 20 mins. I used this technique extensively as a science teacher; both to assess misconception and to drive differentiation. The presentation includes examples from other subjects as well as the theory and justification to using them.

Year 6 - Lesson 1 states of matter: based on the interim assessment framework 2015 - 16

(0)
On the Wasted Years report recommendations this is the first lesson in a scheme of work that looks at preparing Year 6 students for secondary science. It is written by a secondary science teacher for the cross phase development program being run 2016-17. The spec is based on the interim assessment framework. The lesson states by reviewing solids, liquids and gases before starting to introduce the idea of particles and linking to the properties of the state of matter. This is modelled and presented to the students before they demonstrate their understanding using small balls/ marbles. The lesson then assesses understanding before directing the learning appropriate worksheet. The lesson review learning by the student producing a flow diagram and annotating inter conversions.

Y8- Forces and Energy- Lesson 14 Energy Efficiency

(0)
The lesson is aimed at year 8-9 and focuses on efficiency . The lesson encourages the student to work out the efficiency calculation on their own before testing their understanding, the student then complete different tasks (high quality differentiation) to best suit their ability. the lesson finishes with an exam questions and exit ticket.

The lesson starts by matching the keywords to the images. The lesson then moves to review the examples of the evolution of giraffes linking each stage to the exam specification. The students then rate their confidence and move on to differentiated storyboard tasks looking at the evolution of the woolly mammoth. The lesson finishes with a 6 mark question with a mark scheme so the students can self-assess their answers.

Y8- Forces and Energy- Lesson 15 Heat Transfer

(0)
The lesson looks at the 3 methods of heat transfer: radiation, convection and conduction. This is done via demonstrations and discussion. With a double bubble the students take the ideas of convection and radiation and compare and contrast them before they write a GCSE style 6 mark questions, this is differentiated via a hinge point question. The lessons concludes with an exit ticket.

CB4a Edexcel 9-1- Human evolution - Lesson 3

(1)
The lesson is a well constructed and differentiated lesson intended for the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE. The lesson starts with a comparison between apes, humans and pre-humans before introducing the idea of fossilisation. There are then a couple of videos showing great apes acting in a human fashion. Students then complete a research task making a time line of human evolution. Learning is assessed before there are two differentiated worksheets to best cater for the level of need. The lesson concludes with a GCSE exam question.

On the Wasted Years report recommendations this is the second lesson in a scheme of work that looks at preparing Year 6 students for secondary science. It is written by a secondary science teacher for the cross phase development program being run 2016-17. The spec is based on the interim assessment framework (IAF). The lesson starts by reviewing previous learning before introducing the skills focused practical, adhering to the IAF. The students then record the results on a table before producing a graph. The lesson finishes with a structured conclusion to ensure that the learning has been achieved.
