Space, solar system, stars, galaxies, moons, light years, gravity, the universe. Complete KS3 lesson. This is lesson 1 in a series of 6 high quality lessons that fully and expertly delivers all the points within BOTH the NEW KS3 Department for Education ‘Space Physics’ National Curriculum and the AQA KS3 specification / syllabus sections ‘3.7.2 Universe’ and ‘3.1.2 Gravity’. Updated and Improved 17th June 2019. Ready to use, no preparation required ! Project and go !! The powerpoint will lead you through every step. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES - are given towards the bottom of this text. STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking and working in pairs in a race to unscramble some of the key words in today’s lesson. After revealing the title and lesson outcomes students self assess against their current understanding of this topic. MAIN and MAIN and MAIN… This lesson is ‘chunked’ into discrete sections to support learning and engender positive behaviour by keeping students interested and focused. All points of the specification are addressed. There are various student activities such as gap fill, matching, reviewing a solar system model, words unscramble, literacy activity, questions and answers, think/pair/share, quiz, sort into size order, mnemonic, self-assessment, peer assessment etc. PLENARY In the plenary activity pupils complete a quiz and then peer assess it to uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. They then self assess themselves against the lesson outcomes. Students who need further support set themselves additional homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES These are provided just in case any group requires them. All resources are included in this excellent lesson, there is nothing for you to do but deliver it. OUTCOMES - STUDENTS LEARN TO: * Understand the structure of the solar system and be able to draw it with the planets in the correct order. * Explain what keeps the planets in place ‘orbiting’ the sun. * Understand what ‘stars’ and ‘galaxies’ and ‘light years’ are… * Use new literacy words such as ‘orbit’ and ‘light year’. * Comprehend the vast size of the Milky Way and the Universe.

Vaccinations, immunity and Edward Jenner. Complete KS3 Biology lesson.

(1)
Complete and ready to use high quality KS3 Biology lesson. All resources are included in this engaging and fun lesson. Students learn to: * Understand new key words such as vaccine, smallpox, bacteria etc * Describe the role of vaccines in fighting disease. * Explain how vaccines work. * Analyse the sequence describing how Edward Jenner developed the very first vaccine. STARTER Pupils will start the lessons by thinking and working in pairs in a race to work out a picture puzzle. This leads to revealing the title and lesson outcomes, and then students self assess against their current understanding of this topic (at the end of the lesson they will use this assessment to reflect on how much progress they made during the lesson). MAIN and MAIN and MAIN… This lesson is ‘chunked’ into discrete sections to support learning and create positive behaviour by keeping students interested and focused as they have fun learning. There are various interesting and fun student activities such as gap fill, matching, video, sequencing, literacy activity, questions with answers, recall, think/pair/share, quiz, self-assessment and peer assessment opportunities, up and about game etc. PLENARY In the plenary activity pupils complete a physical (up and about) quiz to uncover how much they have learnt during the lesson. Next they self assess their progress against the lesson outcomes. Students who need further support set themselves additional homework to enhance learning of today’s lesson. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES These are provided just in case any group requires them.

Sleep, insomnia, hints and tips, wellbeing. Hints and tips to help you sleep.

(0)
Hints and tips on how to fall asleep and get good quality sleep. This is not a lesson as such. However students who are short of sleep find it very very difficult to learn, so hopefully this will help them. I wrote this as one of my colleagues (yes he is a teacher!) is having a problem sleeping, and several of my students complain about not being able to sleep / lack of sleep. So I hope this will help them. It’s aimed as my adult colleague but these word docs can be very easily modified and given to students… Best wishes Barclayfox
