This resource contains a very basic 7 slide theory lesson. This theory lesson contains an introductory four slides which define Physics concepts such as WORK and POWER, their units and their relationship with Energy. Slide 5 displays the relationship mathematically as an equation. Slide 6 is a book-work reference to practice using this equation. Slide 7 is a worksheet containing real exam questions to reinforce familiarity with the equation. If you liked this lesson, please don't forget to review it and feel free to browse my shop where there are plenty more.

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.

A digital version of the Year 8 Biology B2 3.4 "Continuous and Discontinuous variation" lesson.

(0)
This lesson was written for middle/top sets. The lesson is designed to provoke discussion and thought about Continuous and Discontinuous variation in humans. The main focus is on two small practicals that demonstrate both Continuous and Discontinuous traits but also the resultant Continuous (line) and Discontinuous (bar) graphs drawn from the data. This is a deliberate attempt to help students understand when it is appropriate to draw a line graph and when to draw a bar graph. The tongue rolling practical is fast, fun and interesting. The "measuring pupils height" practical requires meter rulers but a blank results table on slide 7 can be used to project onto the whiteboard ready for the students data, 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 the learning). An excellent resource for Science teachers who want a colourful engaging lesson written by a science teacher with 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 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 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 and a KAHOOT quiz as a plenary. 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.

This lesson was written for middle/top sets. The lesson is designed to provoke discussion and thought about the process of Natural Selection . The lesson is constructed around 3 YOU TUBE videos. The first is the classic story of the Peppered Moth (12mins).

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.
