A lesson with lots of board tasks to prepare students for either an end of unit test or revision for the final exams. Each set of tasks attempts to tackle a small number of the Edexcel 9-1 specification statements for radioactivity. Useful to spot gaps, and also to fill them in. I found the lesson went extremely fast. All the tasks are timed appropriately with a disappearing clock.

27 Differentiated worksheets, designed for EAL, SEN, and English Speaking students, for each of the following KS3 science topics: Cells States of Matter Electricity Sound Food and Energy Reproduction Rocks Acids and Alkalis Circulation and Respiration Recommendations: Can be used for homework, consolidation, cementing keywords, revision, starters, plenaries Please leave feedback :)

49 lesson openers for your powerpoint needs! A collection of DO NOW activities for biology lessons (age range 11 to 14, though it can work for some GCSE lessons too). A DO NOW is any activity that you have at the very beginning of class that helps you set the tone for that day. The powerpoint is fully linked to a menu and animated where appropriate. It's very much a download-and-use resource. There is a rationale slide and how to use/things to avoid slide as well. There are 49 different activities that can be used as starters (or plenaries if you like) covering biology topics below: Microscopy Cell Structure Cell Function Plants vs animal cells cellular diffusion unicellular organisms multicellular hierarchy skeletal functions muscles and skeletons muscular function balanced diet energy requirements unbalanced diet digestive system bacteria and digestion plants, carbs, and photosynthesis gas exchange breathing mechanisms exercise, asthma, and smoking stomata and gas exchange reproductive organs menstrual cycle fertilisation gestation to birth plant and flower structure pollination plant fertilization seeds and fruit photosynthesis photosynthetic organisms leaf adaptation recreational drugs substance misuse aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration fermentation aerobic vs anaerobic food webs insect pollinated crops bioaccumulation inheritance DNA Watson, Crick, Wilkins, Franklin Biodiversity Variation Natural Selection Extinction Gene Banks Generic DO NOW activity

A basic powerpoint lesson on force = mass x acceleration. Starter - Discussion on laws of motion Share Equation and practice Qs Gravity, mass & weight Practice Qs

A powerpoint lesson on Atmospheric Pressure for KS3 Physics Students Learning Objectives: Explain why pressure decreases the higher the altitude Understand how a barometer works Explain why boiling point decreases the higher the altitude Includes: A starter Explanations AFL activities Simple practical Plenary - the story of the Thief and the Mountain Execution

A GCSE Physics lesson on terminal velocity with differentiated worksheets and practical activity (will need equipment) based on a class of 24 pupils in 4 groups. It's busy, mucky, and, like all good physics lessons, they've got to work stuff out. MUST: Identify forces on a falling object in a fluid SHOULD: Use force diagrams to show how force changes during a fall/describe changes COULD: Explain terminal velocity/in terms of resultant force/Interpret v/t graphs Powerpoint is to provide structure to the lesson and includes the plenary. I recommend embedding the online stopwatch. Starter – individual (Grade C) entry question based on previous lessons Task 1: Experiment – groups, roles in groups, (calculations v=d/t + mean) B- A grade Task 2: Group 4 – Aristotle worksheet (B grade) – less wordy task Group 3 – Galileo worksheet (B to A grade) – task includes acceleration calculations Group 2 & 1 – Newton worksheet (A grade) – focuses on graphs only Plenary  Exam question – individual, self-assess.

A lesson on speed and velocity for AQA EDEXCEL OCR specifications GCSE Physics. Lots of examples in the powerpoint and a worksheet for challenge, extra practice, or simply homework. I've also included an investigation planning sheet for testing height of ramp on toy cars. Objectives 1. To know the correct units to apply 2. To be able to calculate and rearrange s=d/t 3. To explain the difference between speed and velocity What you get for your buck: A supporting powerpoint A nice picture of a Saleen S7 twin turbo (lovely. Yellow, but lovely) A short history on what we consider fast (in ppt) Oodles of calculation examples and practice (in ppt) A nice interactive slide with moving blocks (you'll need a stopwatch) (in ppt) More calculations (in ppt) An explanation of speed versus velocity More calculations (in ppt) A scaled worksheet with the answers separate for homework, practice etc. You could differentiate by giving the students: A speed investigation proforma (they plan the test given the question - independent learning task) That should keep them busy for an hour ;) Have fun

A lesson for AS Physics students which covers density equation, pressure in solids, liquids and gases, upthrust, and archimedes principle. There are practice exam questions to check learning (with answers).

A powerpoint lesson on relative motion for KS3 Physics Learning Objectives: To describe what relative motion is To plot a distance time graph and use it to calculate the relative speeds of objects To calculate the relative motion of various objects Includes Starter Concept animations Explanations with examples Calculations of delta-v with graphs Supporting questions with answers Differentiated Plenary

A lesson for AS Physics students covering triangle of forces, with notes, examples and questions

Comes attached with QCA Science level descriptions. I found this very helpful when SLG insisted on levelled objectives and evidence of lesson structure, as I could quickly add a scheme of work and adjust it to suit my needs. It gradually swelled as the year went past. Now I only have to tinker my lessons! Hope it helps. Any suggestions, please leave a comment. I can take it *sob.

A powerpoint presentation/lesson on velocity for KS3 students or low level KS4. Learning Objectives Recall the difference between scalers and vectors To describe the difference between speed and velocity To calculate velocity of a falling object Starter - speed calculation Definitions of scalar and vector with exercise Clear explanation of speed vs velocity Practical activity using falling paper cake cases Plenary questions All calculations are answered in the slides.

A powerpoint lesson with diagrams, worked examples, and questions for AS Physics students studying OCR A.

A trio of DART activities for GCSE physics, but could be used with higher level earlier years.

Covers spec CP1 TO CP2.10 Physics Revision lesson for Motion Includes: Starter Specification statements Range of questions timed on each ppt slide. Answers included. While specific to edexcel, is transferable to OCR and AQA. Just edit the statements.

A lesson on ethics of organ transplantation. Objectives: 1. Understanding why organs are donated for transplant. 2. Considering the limitations of organ donation a) Prior health issues including alcoholism and obesity b) Supply of organs 3. Discussing and deciding whether a patient should receive a transplant.

A powerpoint lesson on convection. Objectives: To define heat transfer by convection To describe an example of convection To explain why convection happens Includes: Starter Potassium Permanganate Demo Definition Examples Gap exercise Application with Convection heater True or False

A simple lesson which helps students think about science in the past, present and the future. It helps them determine which of the three "umbrella" disciplines (Bio, Chem, Phys) and allows them the choice of activities. I used this as an end of term filler lesson and it worked well with year 7 & 8 (especially the fact or fiction activity) To note: The past is everything they currently study, the present is the fact or fiction activity at the end. The future is a posed question in the plenary, as we don't know what the future of scientific discovery is, though it may prompt some nice discussion.
