AQA Science (New specification) lesson; differentiated for a low ability class. Interactive, with differentiated tasks. Addresses the following specification points from the Biology specification: 4.5.2.2 The brain The brain controls complex behaviour. It is made of billions of interconnected neurones and has different regions that carry out different functions. • The cerebral cortex is concerned with consciousness, intelligence, memory and language. • The cerebellum is concerned mainly with the coordination of muscular activity. • The medulla is concerned with unconscious activities such as heartbeat and breathing. Students should be able to identify these structures on a diagram of the brain. Does not address higher ability content: Neuroscientists have been able to map the regions of the brain to particular functions by studying patients with brain damage, electrically stimulating different parts of the brain and using MRI scanning techniques. The complexity and delicacy of the brain makes investigating and treating brain disorders very difficult.

This lesson was for year 7s, and it includes the PowerPoint, the lesson plan and relevant resources. It's all very detailed because I&'m still on my PGCE and we have to do a lesson plan for each lesson. I have taken bits out of other tes-uploaded files, so thanks to all those contributors who made this lesson possible!

A very useful revision session for students using the AQA A Psychology specification. This revision sessions aims to equip students with everything they need to know to address questions that could come up in the second half of the section on Memory (Memory in Everyday Life). Students generally find this section difficult due to the large amount of studies that they could potentially learn. This revision session however, breaks down AO1 and AO2/3 sections into manageable chunks that they can tackle alongside their classmates in the form of a carousel. This revision session can be shortened if needed, but it took me 2 hours to get through it all.

I have looked at the new specification for AQA Psychology and pulled it apart, looking at Papers 1, 2 and 3. At our School, we'll be entering all students for the AS exam at the end of the first year, and so this document reflects that. We'll be covering all Paper 1 content (to A-level standard) and the AS content of Paper 2 in the first year. Then the A-level content of Paper 2 will be taught in Year 2, as well as Paper 3 content. We've chosen Relationships, Aggression and Eating Behaviour to teach as our Options for Paper 3.

Features of each store: coding, capacity and duration.” All you need for these two consecutive lessons: - Sheet with bubble evaluation points - Evaluation PEEL scaffold slides printed two per page. - This Power Point Optional: I've included the resources for a Serial Position Effect experiment: - Serial position effect handout - Serial position effect stimuli list

A revision session aimed with a specific focus on exam technique for the first part of the Attachment section in the AQA A Psychology specification. Includes engaging activities, exam practise and exam tips on getting top marks in this section of the paper. My students have found this very engaging and gained in confidence after coming out of this lesson. A very clear focus on exam practise, whilst also maintaining an engaging and fun aspect to learning. Exam question/answers wording slightly altered to protect copyright from AQA A Past papers.

Very detailed lesson to ensure students full understand explanations of conformity. What you will need for this lesson: 1. This Power Point 2. Mini whiteboards 3. Whiteboard pens 4. Whiteboard rubbers

This was my interview lesson at an Academy. My brief was to give an Outstanding 20-minute lesson to a group of year 10 students. The topic was an Introduction to A-level Psychology. I was given very positive feedback and got the job :)

This is the first lesson for the year 12s that I taught. This lesson is based on the OCR AS Chemistry unit 'Resources&'.

Lesson addresses definitions, approaches and treatments of abnormality. Detailed lesson plan included, as well as presentation, card sort and patient/doctor scenario pack. Any feedback warmly welcomed :)

This was the first lesson with my year 7s to ease them into thinking scientifically.
