Outstanding observation lesson. Students are introduced to the terms conductor/insulator/ammeter. Over the course of the lesson students work out which material could be used to fix some Christmas tree lights through collecting evidence and evaluating its reliability. Please rate/comment.

Students are designated a specialised cell and they then speed date the other students (aka specialised cells) to find out more about them. Lesson is scaffolded to support the weaker students whilst stretching the more able students. The lesson is engaging with 'levelled&' learning outcomes (SOLO taxonomy) and students found the lesson extremely fun. I have uploaded a comprehensive lesson plan and &';levelled' topic overview which may also be of use for any teachers using SOLO taxonomy.

Students look at pulmonary and systematic circulatory loops. Students compare the circulatory system to a model of a sushi restaurant to demonstrate their understanding.

Great lesson where students use QR code readers on their phones/tablets to go on a treasure hunt collecting information about different cell organelles (cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochonria, ER, golgi apparatus, ribosomes, lysosomes, cytoskeleton). The lesson uses the analogy of a factory to help students comprehend the roles of the different organelles and the analogy also offers students a platform to discuss the roles of different organelles before scanning the QR codes. QR code readers can be downloaded free on all smartphones and tablets.

Have a look at the Introduction powerpoint as this can be used to introduce the type of assessment to students across the curriculum. I have also uploaded an example of a levelled topic ladder that can be used by students to track their progress each lesson and across the whole topic. This is useful for students in terms of catching up if they have been absent, reading ahead if they are eager and structuring their revision at the end of a topic.

This can either be followed by a teacher or student led dissection. Both powerpoints are uploaded for you to decide which best suits your group.

These can be bought cheaply from local pet shops or hatched in school. The lesson is engaging with 'levelled&' learning outcomes (SOLO taxonomy) and students thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. I have uploaded a comprehensive lesson plan and &';levelled' topic overview which may also be of use for any teachers using SOLO taxonomy.

Observation lesson. Students collect evidence to work out whether the mystery substance (non-newtonian custard or cornflour mix) should be classified as a solid or a liquid. Very hands on and students loved it. HSW AF4.
