Lesson plan and simple worksheet for Breathing and Gas Exchange for the new GCSE spec. Aimed at my low ability year 10 class. The lesson features a high amount of discussion with the class as I was interested in developing this aspect of their learning both with myself and each other. Instructions are in the notes section of each slide. Starter - Label the parts of the gas exchange system as a KS3 recap. Main - Using words to describe alveoli structure as a building block to develop ideas around why it is sack shaped. Students then complete short gap fill exercise and do a simple data task looking at % of gas present during inhalation and expiration. Picture task for students to draw the alveoli either as a memory game or describing game in pairs as a way to introduce adaptations and build on description/discussion skills. Plenary - Students use the different word banks to answer the WALT question "How does oxygen get into the body?" They can then feedback to the class. OBJECTIVES: GOOD – LIST the main parts of the gas exchange system GREAT – STATE what happens at the alveoli relating to gas percentages EPIC – DESCRIBE how alveoli are adapted for gas exchange As always feedback is appreciated :)

Lesson plan including powerpoint and resources. There will be information on four alkali metals which shall be distributed evenly between the pupils. In pairs, they have to use the information provided to come up with a clear and concise scientific poster. They will have 2 minutes to then present or teach three other pairs about their element. All four pairs will complete this task before evaluating the other groups work. Task is differentiated between sets by giving higher level learners extra information to include, found on the second sheets.

A practical lesson which allows pupils to follow step-by-step instructions in order to complete an investigation into the difference in voltage between parallel and series circuits. All instructions are on the PowerPoint as well as a mini-starter, a 'set your own homework' plenary and questions relating to the lesson. Apparatus (Per Group) - Power Pack, Wires, Croc Clips, 3 Bulbs, Voltmeter.

Lesson plan detailing the halogens. Pupils watch video's on each halogen element, using that to fill in their table. They then have to write a letter to a fellow scientist detailing their findings. Cross-Curricular links with English.

Carousel activity looking at different animals and how they reproduce. Pupils have to use the different resources at the different stations to fill in their info sheet. Each station will have a particular rule to obey. E.G. Only 1 person can talk. Nice 'what are the odds' poster at the end detailing the chances of us being here, from Ali Binazar.

Step-by-Step break down of the Hardy-Weinberg principle.

Activity into the different uses for silicon. Pupils will use information sheets to create a leaflet on different uses for silicon. Can then use as a peer review task marking other people's work etc . . .

A lesson looking at different ethical questions within science. There are five sets of questions, one on each 'viewpoint' sheet along with people's opinions on the question. Pupil have to use these opinions to answer the questions provided at the bottom of the sheet. Originally set out for group work but can be modified. A starter and a plenary are on the Power Point.

Originally for medium/low ability students, but can be differentiated. Revision booklet for the topics mentioned. Booklet has heart to label, flow diagram gaps to detail movement of blood through the heart, Blood vessel structure, function, features table to fill in, CHD DART activity, blood components table task and application questions at the end of the booklet.

Lesson plan investigating non-communicable diseases and correlation v causation. Instructions and ideas for delivery are included in the notes section. I used post-it notes within the lesson for a group task, but the lesson can be delivered without. Starter - Students rank diseases in order from most to least deaths caused as of 2012 before identifying risk factors relating to these. Main 1 - Continuum of risk factors for students to rank from least impact on health to most impact. Post it notes were used for groups of students to rank their own ideas before feeding back as a class. This then leads into a table activity whereby students identify diseases as communicable or non communicable. Main 2 - Worked class example of correlation vs causation using pollen, ice cream and hay fever as a way of introducing the idea. Students grasp that evidence is needed to imply causation through correlation, and some ridiculous examples are used to highlight this idea before students explain evidence for 3 non communicable diseases. Feeds into a data worksheet task on link between liver disease and alcohol consumption. Plenary - Students come up with 5 ideas on how to minimise the risk of developing one of the non communicable diseases covered in the lesson. Objectives: GOOD – LIST some risk factors that are linked to an increased rate of a disease. GREAT – DECIDE whether a link is causal or not. EPIC – DRAW conclusions on disease from given data As always any feedback is appreciated :)

Starter - Pupils fill in blank eatwell plate. Development - 5 different people with different energy needs are displayed on board. Pupils have to distinguish why they think these people might have different energy needs. Main - Comprehension exercise. Pupils have to use the information given to answer the questions at the bottom of their sheet.

3 sections with questions on identifying independent and dependent variables, exam style questions on graph skills before building up to students plotting data onto their own graphs.

Homework/research task on puberty. Pupils have to fill in the venn diagram for both male and female changes before writing an agony aunt letter to a concerned reader detailing the changes they might go through during puberty.

Group work lesson. 1. Memory game. in groups, pupils recieve blank periodic table. They will have 15 seconds each to look at the filled table before going back to their groups. They will then mark another groups work against set criteria. One mark for the element being in the correct position, One mark for writing the correct symbol and two marks for completing a whole group of the periodic table. 2. Pupils recieve info on Mendeleev. They have to condense the information into a 'tweet' of 140 characters. Pupils vote for the best tweet.

Complete tutorial/lesson looking at the particle model involving solids, liquids and gasses with supplementary key learning points detailed under relevant slides. PowerPoint looks at the characteristics of each state and also what happens to the particles when they change state. Has a starter and plenary on the PowerPoint.

Structured lesson looking at Animal/Plant cells and their organelles. Needs some prior prep with printing and sticking up organelle information around the classroom before the lesson. Opportunity to differentiate and allow students to build on knowledge bit by bit throughout the lesson. All additional instructions are in the notes section of each slide. Starter - Give me 10. Students write 10 words relating to cells. This acts to gauge prior knowledge. Main 1 - Paired drawing task where Student A (facing the board) has to describe to Student B (who is facing away from the board) what to draw. After you have used questioning to get the names of the organelles, students can be given the picture of the cell to stick in. Main 2 - Information Hunt. Give students the organelle table to fill in – cut out the organelle information and stick/hide them around the classroom so students have to go and find the information to complete their table. You can either cut the name with the definition or stick the definition and the name separate. Main 3 - Analogies. Students are given 2 examples of analogies before being tasked to come up with their own for each organelle. Can extend to 2 or 3 different examples for each organelle if necessary. Plenary - Make a prediction questions... What would happen to a plant cell if we removed the chloroplasts? What would happen to animals if their cells had a cell wall? What do you think we will study next lesson? Objectives: GOOD – NAME the ORGANELLES found in animal and plant cells GREAT – DESCRIBE the functions of each main ORGANELLE OUTSTANDING – EXPLAIN organelle functions using analogies Thank you
