    The document presents a sample student-created timetable with various subjects scheduled across different days and time periods of the week. It explains that recent research shows academic lessons are less effective in the early morning and students learn better in the late morning to early afternoon. It also aims to group science and statistics subjects together on some days and humanities subjects on others to help students get into the appropriate "mindset" for those related subjects.

    - Recent research states that ‘lessons that you schedule between 9am-11am are
    less effective […] The research has exploded the myth that “academic lessons are
    better in the morning.” It appears that KS4/5 students learn better late morning
    early afternoon’. ‘Memory tests performed on Monkseaton pupils by
    neuroscientist Russell Foster, chair of circadian neuroscience at Brasenose
    College, Oxford, showed the students' brains worked better in the afternoon.’
    Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/7932108.stm Therefore, I have
    placed more creative, practical lessons in the early morning timeslots.
    - I have attempted to group together science/ statistic-based subjects on certain
    days, and humanities subjects on others. My reasoning behind this experiment is
    the idea that pupils will get in a certain ‘mindset’ appropriate to those subjects on
    those days. By ‘mindset’ I mean subject specific terminology (jargon)/ pedagogy
    and ways of thinking and working. It may encourage students to see links/
    comparisons between these subjects in similar fields and draw links between their
    topics and learning. It could help to further contextualise their learning, especially
    if the subjects they are studying align their themes/ topics.
