AQA GCSE New Spec social influence
This bundle includes lessons that cover all content of the social influence section (prosocial, obedience, conformity and crowd and collective behaviour). A lot of content is typed either on ppt or worksheets because of a lack of textbooks with 3yr GCSE. Lessons include starter activities, assessment opportunities and video clips. My students loved this unit and enjoyed watching suffragette at the end and applying their knowledge to social change (link to film included in notes on ppt). Ideal for non-specialists and specialists, a range of activities and worksheets ready made. Ive also included the word docs used to make and display the students newspaper articles. Approx 15h worth of lesson material.
AQA GCSE Psychology Memory
This is the first unit I taught for the new GCSE psychology AQA specification. I did verbally weave research methods content in (moved onto research methods as next unit).

Unit ends Ends with Disney's Inside Out which was a nice way to end the lessons at Christmas.

This bundle combines both experimental and non-experimental research methods (which I planned and taught in that order). There are a range of lessons each with its own popwerpoint and worksheets.
