An assembly for the start of year about bhow to make good progress at school. It opens looking at potential and what it means It then moves onto confidence, perseverance and challenge Each section is supported by inspirational quotes from famous men and women It then looks at four specific examples of people who have over come challenges (Bethany Hamilton, Van Gogh, Helen Keller and Emily Blunt) The assembly closes by addressing a common student complaint- I don’t need xxxxxx so why do I need to study it. It looks at a series of careers that have been ‘invented’ since I left school in 1998

This is a complete lesson covering sections 5.2.3 J and K of the OCR Chemistry specification- Fuel cells. The lesson starts be recapping some electrode potential calculations and a method for measuring those potentials. It then introduces cells and discusses the difference between primary and secondary cells along with associated calculations. The lesson then focuses on fuel cells including the difference between an alkaline and an acid fuel cell The lesson includes a starter, full notes, various student led activities and a differentiated summary at the end. All answers are included. I actively try to reduce photocopying, so all of the lesson resources are within the PowerPoint rather than as extra sheets.

A complete final revision lesson covering the content from AQA GCSE Trilogy Science Physics paper 2 The lesson covers: Forces Waves Magnetism and electromagnetism Radiation RPA Waves RPA Acceleration RPA Extension RPA Includes a variety of retrieval activities and exam questions All answers provided and all activities are within the PPT (36 slides in total)

A pair of lessons covering sections 5.2.3 f-i of the OCR Chemistry specification- electrode potentials The first lesson starts by looking at what half-cells are, how they are formed and the importance of salt bridges. It also covers how they can be used to measure standard electrode potentials. The lesson then covers half equations and using them to calculate the voltage of a electrochemical cell. The second lesson looks at the feasibility of reactions and how they can be predicted using half-cells. It also looks at the limitations of using electrode potentials to predict reactions Both lessons include lots of student independent work tasks and all answers are included I am to reduce photocopying so all activties are in the PPTs (30 slides and 25 slides each)

A PowerPoint for an assembly on study skills. Aimed principally at KS4 and year 9 but could also be helpful with KS3 It is 18 slides long with presenter notes on the majority of slides It starts by discussing why studying is so important before moving onto a series of tips around good study habits (set goals, plan time, location). It then looks at 6 different evidence led strategies including flash cards, interleaving and dual coding The assembly closes by considering the importance of practice but also looking at mental and physical health
