Part of the new AQA spec (2016) B2 photosynthesis. Starter - video clip and think, pair, share. Lesson activity - information hunt using differentiated worksheet (red for 1* objectives, amber for 2* objectives and green for 3* objectives). You can also set pupils the next level questions as stretch and challenge extensions. Extension - for pupils who finish the green activity and need further stretch and challenge.

Perfect for any topic to check students' prior knowledge or check progress from prior lessons. Editable by adding new questions into each box. Pupils are given 5 minutes to move around the classroom and find a student who can answer each question, they must find a different pupil to answer each question. This checks pupils' progress or prior understanding as they must each answer most of the questions for other students. These can then be peer marked, self assessed or marked by the teacher for a progress check.

Used along with a sustainability/renewable resources Y8 lesson, this QWC or DIRT task can be used to assess pupils in-depth. I used it in conjunction with our KS3 textbook, however it is adaptable to meet your spec. Get students to follow the criteria and then tick off what they have done when you mark it so you can easily level it, then get them to do any SPAG improvements and additions to their work - simple.

The bundle includes a presentation with levelled outcomes, a starter activity, an activity which will enable pupils to RAG differentiate themselves, a RAG differentiated fact finding activity, card sort and specialised cell fact sheets.
