Supporting Powerpoint for OCR A. Includes notes on: dynamic vs static electricity movement of electrons and ions. conductors and insulators Conventional current vs electron flow Showing a plasma ball is optional and not on the specification but its weird and cool and the students like it. This also applies to the Van Der Graaf Generator if you have one.

A powerpoint which considers structure, rotation, orbital characteristics, Van-Allen belt, and distinctive lunar features, for curious, high ability students. Designed for a discussive lesson. One activity that could be done is to use a labelled photo of the moon to teach the order of the Mares, which my students enjoyed immensely.

A lesson on Human Evolution for GCSE Biology (off-spec but very engaging). Used to introduce the theory to low to middle achievers. MUST state what the theory of evolution is. (Grades G to E) SHOULD explain some evidence for evolution. (Grades E to D) COULD interpret data to trace an organisms evolution. (Grades D to C) Recommend a subscription to echalk for the peppered moth activity in the ppt. The activity uses the Homo-genus posters (print and laminate in colour A3 for best effect and hang around the room). Ask the students to use the posters to construct a timeline of evolution from oldest to youngest. There is a table on the powerpoint with the approximate years. I've also included some information for the teacher on hominid evolution if they wish to buff up their knowledge for extra nerd value.
