A powerpoint which considers structure, rotation, orbital characteristics, Van-Allen belt, and distinctive lunar features, for curious, high ability students. Designed for a discussive lesson. One activity that could be done is to use a labelled photo of the moon to teach the order of the Mares, which my students enjoyed immensely.

A lesson on energy conservation for GCSE Physics. Designed for AQA 2016 but transferable to OCR , EDEXCEL. Students begin by simply naming energy forms They learn the law of energy conservation (with prompt questions) They then complete an energy carousel (or simply fill out the sheet if you like) Then they learn about wasted energy, energy units, and energy transfer diagrams. Students calculate and complete missing values. Then they learn about Sankey diagrams. To finish, they draw and interpret a Sankey diagram using given info. As always, answers are on the slides. Please leave a review.

A lesson on Human Evolution for GCSE Biology (off-spec but very engaging). Used to introduce the theory to low to middle achievers. MUST state what the theory of evolution is. (Grades G to E) SHOULD explain some evidence for evolution. (Grades E to D) COULD interpret data to trace an organisms evolution. (Grades D to C) Recommend a subscription to echalk for the peppered moth activity in the ppt. The activity uses the Homo-genus posters (print and laminate in colour A3 for best effect and hang around the room). Ask the students to use the posters to construct a timeline of evolution from oldest to youngest. There is a table on the powerpoint with the approximate years. I've also included some information for the teacher on hominid evolution if they wish to buff up their knowledge for extra nerd value.
