"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler"-Albert Einstein. These wise words from the worl'd greatest physicist has long inspired my lesson plans, ensuring that concepts are made as simple as possible without dumbing down. All paid for lessons follow the same design, all lessons are clearly differentiated, with plenty of peer assessment and self assessment to reduce teacher workload and are fun and engaging for student and teacher alike.

This activity can be adapted easily for a wide variety of different ages and abilities. It gets the pupils to think about and/or research the pros and cons of spending billions of pounds on a mission to mars. Pupils then decide on what their view of the matter is and write a letter to the Prime Minister arguing for or against it. this activity could then lead onto a classroom debate about it.

My Vertebrate's Habitat

My Vertebrate's Habitat

(0)
I allow my students around 30-40 minutes to do this in pairs. Following on from the previous worksheet where the pupils had to design their own vertebrate and label it, the pupils now have to design a habitat for their vertebrate, the boxes around the edge should be filled with labels explaining why they have put the things there. I got my pupils to do this in pairs and then made a display along with the earlier worksheet called 'Year 7's Fantasy Zoo'. I would recomend blowing this up to A3 size on the photocopier.
