Lesson is fully differentiated, includes timers for pace and has powerpoint animations to facilitate Q/A during a review of each learning checkpoint. Lesson is based on OCR SOW but could be used for any.
A full differentiated lesson on metabolism and the liver. Lesson is based on AQA SOW (B9.4) but can be used for others. Covers metabolism, basic structure of the liver, metabolic functions of the liver, removing lactic acid and deamination. Slides include timers to promote pace, and answers included via animation to facilitate self/peer correction during review of each learning checkpoint.
A full lesson with everything you need to teach the topic of stem cells. An additional quiz is included to use as a ‘back up’ exercise if time permits. Lesson is fully animated o facilitate Q/A during correction of answers and timers are included to promote pace. Main activity involves students reviewing different peoples points of view regarding stem cells, formulating an opinion and then engaging in a debate.

A complete, differentiated lesson for the topic of solutions. Additional green, yellow and red planner cards are needed for one of the AFL activities. The lesson is based on the Activate SOW and planned for a year 8 class. Could be used for other SOW’s and year groups depending on ability. Timers are included to promote pace and the answers for each learning checkpoint are incorporated into the slides through animation. A ‘car race’ plenary is included with preprepared questions and answers.
A full AQA physics revision lesson specifically tailored towards the P1 checkpoint (conservation and dissipation of energy). This lesson was used for a low ability group and is based on the foundation P1 test paper. Includes whiteboard activity, think pair and share, work done, GPE and power calculations. Timers are included to promote pace and PowerPoint animations are used to facilitate Q/A during review of each learning checkpoint.
A full differentiated lesson covering the principles of homoeostasis - this lesson is based upon the AQA (B10.1) scheme of work but could be used for others. Stretch activities and support sheets included to support the learning of high and low abilities. Support sheets are literacy and numeracy based for learning checkpoints 1 and 2 respectively. Timers are included to promote pace, and power point animations facilitate Q/A during the review of each learning checkpoint. Class wide AFL can be conducted through a simple ‘hands up’ to indicate mark. The plenary activity is based on student reflection against the learning objectives.
A full, differentiated lesson on the topic of drag forces and friction. The lesson is based on the activate 1 SOW and so is pitched to a year 7 group. The lesson includes a think pair and share, DART activity, simple practical activity (requiring different surfaces and a newtonmeters), differentiated question grid challenge and a reflective plenary. All answers are incorporated into the slides via animation and timers are included to promote pace.
A full lesson on the topic of muscles. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 SOW (B2.6) but can be used for others. The lesson includes a competitive game based on the recall of information and a whiteboard quiz. The plenary is based on student reflection on their progress against the learning objectives.

A full differentiated lesson on the topic of the skeleton. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 (B2.4) book but can be used for other SOW. The lesson includes an activity where students cut out bones and assemble skeletons in a pose of their choosing, peer assessment is based on the correct labelling of the bones and creativity of the pose. PowerPoint animations and timers are included to promote peer correction of written tasks and to promote pace respectively. An X-ray based whiteboard quiz is included as a plenary.
A complete lesson based on the topic of loudness and pitch. The lesson is based on the Activate 1 (2.3) SOW but can be used for others. All resources/activities are incorporated into the slides, no additional worksheets required. Planner cards (red, green and yellow) are needed for AFL at one of the learning checkpoints, and an oscilloscope would be good for the demonstration - a video is included if this is not possible. The lesson teaches the relationship between loudness and amplitude, and frequency and pitch prior to class wide AFL. The audible range is discussed and students are then redirected to the question posed within the starter. Students must then design an audible deterrent systems to protect certain animals (such as a goldfish) from predators making use of a table which gives the audible range of different species. The plenary is based on student reflection on their progress against the learning objectives, a soft toy can be thrown between students to elect who reads out their answer.
A full differentiated lesson based on the Activate 2 (P3.2) SOW but can be used for others. The lesson includes the calculation of speed (with whiteboard activity) and interpreting/drawing motion graphs with a range of activities.
