BUNDLE
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.
BUNDLE
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). Includes tracker and assessment (I made my own questions). I planned this unit without a textbook - instead watering down A-level content. Unit ends Ends with Disney's Inside Out which was a nice way to end the lessons at Christmas.
AQA Psychology
A booklet to accompany the teaching of the social influence unit of AQA psychology. Includes specification checklist for students to monitor progress through the course. Booklet covers key content on studies/theories (Asch, Milgram, Zimbardo etc) as well as having activities for students to complete. They will need the Cardwell and Flanagan (catbook) to complete some tasks (you could photocopy pages from book if you only have one copy).
Excellent to use for flipped learning before teaching or revision.
Attachment AQA workbooklet
A booklet that goes through the entire AQA attachment specification. Includes checklist. Activities are included for students to complete as they progress through the unit (eg drawing bar charts, answering questions, fill in the gaps, etc). Most content is included with links to additional reading for more able students. Students will need the Cardwell and Flanagan (cat book) for some of the activities, page numbers are included. The booklet is used in tandem with teaching my current teaching, either as flipped learning or consolidation. It would make an excellent revision booklet also.

BUNDLE
GCSE Psychology new spec AQA Research Methods
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 their own popwerpoint and worksheets. Tracker is included for students to stick in at the start and then write a comment after each lesson with a red, amber green traffic light colour. I also get my students to learn 5 essential spellings which they have to define when we come to the word or as homework (literacy sheet included) I made these before the new spec book was published so all content is type or on worksheets with answers provided- so is ideal for non-specialists. Opportunities for practicals and self/peer assessment has been included. Approx one full terms worth (3x lessons a week). Price reflects time and effort that went into planning and making all of these resources.
