How to use this resource
This lesson resource is designed for a 60-minute class but can be split across two sessions for deeper exploration. The PowerPoint guides you through each task with clear teacher instructions, while the accompanying worksheet provides students with a structured format to record their learning. Perfect for in-class teaching with the demonstration element, but the clear instructions and embedded video links also make it suitable for independent study or homework assignments.
