A digital version of the Year 8 Biology B2 3.5 "Inheritance" lesson.

(0)
This two-part lesson was written for middle/top sets. These lessons are are designed to provoke discussion and thought about the discovery and mechanism of DNA. The first lesson is some basic history, theory and discussion about DNA. The presentation includes three YOU TUBE links - each one explaining, with increasing complexity, how DNA actually works. The narrative is loose and visual so the lesson can follow the students questions but the slide sequence ensures that the learning objectives will be covered. At the end, if you have time, there are 'book-work' references to consolidate learning. The second lesson contains a step-by-step method, resources and safety instructions for students to extract (and observe) DNA from Kiwi fruit. This is a brilliant and memorable, multi-step practical which always engages and enthralls students. An excellent resource for Science teachers written by a science teacher with over 20 years’ experience of working in a range of Schools. This lesson (and the scheme of work it is part of) has been successfully trialed in a state Academy and has been used (and improved each time) over three different classes.

This download contains 2 presentations to end the topic. A revision lesson based around designing a mind-map of the complete topic, including key concepts, words and diagrams. A Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time (DIRT) lesson which uses real scanned examples of (anonymous) students work to show best practice and common mistakes. This is one of the most powerful tools that I have ever used to improve student grades.

A digital version of the Year 9 P1.15 Life cycles of stars lesson.

(0)
This resource contains a 21-slide theory lesson and a Kahoot Quiz as a plenary. Slide number 1 is an introductory slide explaining the lessons learning objectives. Slides number 2 defines Stellar Nebulae as clouds of dust and gas where stars are ‘born’. Slide number 3 explains how Stellar Nebulae collapse due to gravity to form a protostar. Slide 4 looks at Main sequence stars and explains how our sun is a main sequence star. Slide 5 & 6 look at what happens when the core of a main sequence star runs out of hydrogen and then helium to become less bright; forming a red giant. Slide 7 shows that when a red giant finally collapses then its outer layers shed off and the remains are called a white dwarf. Slide 8 shows that the outer layers of the red giant that drift off into space become planetary nebulae. Slide 9 looks at the different life-cycle of massive stars and begins by comparing the relative sizes of some known stars. Slide 10 and 11 show how massive stars become red super-giants – using Betelgeuse in the constellation of Orion as an example. Slide 12 looks at what happens when Red Super-giant stars start to die. Slide 13-15 looks at Supernova’s - the death of Red Super-giant stars. Slide 16 and 17 look at the two possible outcomes post supernova. Giant stars become either a Neutron star or a Black hole (depending on the size of the giant star). Slide 18 and 19 are much needed summaries of both Star life-cycles. Slide 20 is the book-work reference with two hyperlinked you tube videos of Stars life cycles. Slide 21 contains the hyperlink to a Kahoot Quiz based upon this lesson Slide 22 contains the image credits.

A digital version of the Year 7 B1 2.6 "Muscles" lesson.

(0)
A digital version of the B1 2.6 Muscles lesson in the Year 7 Science Activate book 1. The lessons are differentiated to cater to a less academic audience than the original texts were intended. The Activate 1 book has a reading age of 11-12 years, however, many year 7 students have a reading age below their chronological age and these Power Points were written with those students in mind. This lesson includes a KAHOOT quiz as a plenary. Good for Science teachers who want a colourful engaging lesson written by a science teacher with 20 years experience. The slides are colour coded by topic, contain All/Most/Some differentiated learning objectives, the current date and with 28-32 point Ariel font to enhance legibility. Both the presentations and the hyperlinked KAHOOT quizzes are fully customisable to suit your particular audience. The Author has over 20 years’ experience of working in a range of Schools and was awarded a Master’s Degree in 2008 in “Education and technology in Science”. This lesson (and scheme of work) has been successfully trialed in an academy having been used (and improved) with three different classes.
