Keeping in mind giving that animal adaptations to the environment as well. Students then build up a food web of animals all adapted to hunting and evading each other. Comes with a powerpoint and differentiation material. This lesson has resulted in excellent observations for myself in several schools I have worked at.

This is a worksheet that provides students with a table to fill out in order to help them find the refractive index of the air glass boundary. It also provides a diagram to support them. The worksheet also asks the students to summarise the experiment and provides a markscheme. The worksheet without the powerpoint is also available here for lower cost. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/refraction-finding-refractive-index-worksheet-12049995 The experiment is the basic shining a light through a glass block. It could be done for A level, but it breaks down the instructions for the experiment in a very basic way for 11-16 year olds.

2 worksheets that allow KS3 students to identify and rank the problems in shanty towns using a diamond 9 worksheet and then pick out what improvements they’d make using a budget and deciding what/where to spend it. They must already know what shanty towns are before doing these activities. Can be done as individual tasks or in groups for differentiation. Can be done in 1 lesson or over 2-3 if you want to include a presentation of what improvements each group has chosen. Great activities if your student like taking ownership of their work.
