A digital version of the B1 2.4 The Skeleton lesson in the Year 7 Science Activate book 1.
This lesson is 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 this Presentation was written with those students in mind.
This single lesson includes a word-search as a starter.
An excellent resource for Science teachers who want a colourful engaging lesson written by an experienced science teacher. 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.
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” by Bristol University. This lesson (and scheme of work) has been successfully trialed in a state Academy and has been used (and improved each time) over three different classes.

Year 7 Biology B1.1 "Cells" Scheme of work Bundle.
This bundle contains all 5 lessons, 3 key-word searches, the "Observing Onion Cells" practical and a plenary KAHOOT quizz.
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.
