Bread and butter task sheets.
Each lessons students answer the questions as a starter or plenary to ensure that they continue to remind themselves about the core elements of each of the core units.
Topics include: limestone, atoms, periodic table, alkanes, alkenes, cracking, auxins, hormones, nerves, reflex, energy, energy resources, waves and much more.
3 different keyword and definition spinners.
These are printed out and then cut out. The windows on the top sheet are cut out to reveal the word and its definition below. These work best if the two sheets are secured with a pin.
This is great for keyword revision and for students working in groups testing each other.
These are available for biology, chemistry and physics units.
These ideally are printed and laminated and either used as a class quiz or several copies are made and students work in small groups.
This includes topics from the topic: diet, metabolic rate, nerves, hormones, genetics, menstrual cycle, carbon cycle and more

Question based on past papers but re-written for the purpose of the exam.
They are designed to get students to revise the key topics that are more likely to appear in the 2016 exam.
Paper come with mark scheme and so can be set as a class task, homework or revision task.
Foundation tier also available.
The book is designed to support new and existing science teachers. It put together a number of old and new ways to inspire students and engage them in their learning. This is particularly useful for new and trainee science teachers as it gives ideas and guidance, all in one place.
This is a merge of the 3 book in the series of making science engaging and memorable through the use of investigations and demonstrations.
This book contains all 150 demonstrations and investigations from the 3 books that are also available separately.

A full set of flash cards to aid revision. Question on one slide and then key responses on the following slide. These can be printed or saved on a phone to use.
All of the key topics are covered on the flash cards, including cells, specialised cells, photosynthesis, respiration, adaptations, glucose, limiting factors, enzymes, pH, distribution of organisms, digestive system, DNA, chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis, stem cells, genes, genetic crosses, genetic disorders and more.
15 Homework Sheets.
Each sheet has three questions for students to complete. These are designed around Higher Order Thinking. They begin with identify and move to describe and finally an explain question.
These follow the AQA additional unit.
They are available for Biology, Chemistry and Physics units.
Additional Biology AQA - Digestion Keyword and definition bingo.
This contains a set of questions and a pack of pre-made cards. This can be used as a starter, plenary or revision activity.
This covers all of the key concepts in the unit. Other bingo games are available for the other units too.
This is the third book in the series with each book containing 50 demonstrations and investigations.
The book is designed to support science teachers new and old, including trainee (PGCE, ITT, NQTs) science teachers. It contains both old and new ideas that can help to engage and inspire students.
Investigations include: Bouncing egg, mouse traps, comets, bath bombs, exploding cans, kaleidoscope, testing double glazing, rockets and much more.
A full set of flash cards to aid revision. Question on one slide and then key responses on the following slide. These can be printed or saved on a phone to use.
All of the key topics are covered on the flash cards, including diet, health, pathogens, vaccinations, antibiotics, reflex, synapses, nerves, menstrual cycle, fertility, auxins, homoeostasis, drugs, thalidomide, smoking, alcohol, ecology, plants, environment, biomass, food chains, decay, carbon cycle, variation, DNA, chromosomes, genetics, cells, natural selection and more.
Revision loop card activity for Additional Biology. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
digestion, digestive system, enzymes, denature, pH, lipase, bile,
A set of 5 different games of thoughts and crosses that can be used as a starter, plenary and/or revision task.
This works best when students work in pairs. The task is that the students have to compete to get three in a row. Which ever way they decide to try and get three in a row the questions include a range of difficulty - there is no easy pathway!
These sheets cover all of the main areas from the additional science unit. There are versions available for Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
A set of 25 5ADAY question sheets and accompanying answer sheets.
These allow students to continue to build and refresh their knowledge of the Biology units.
More will be published as they are produced as well as for chemistry and physics.
Students compete to get the lowest score. This can either be played as a full class or the cards can be printed out and students compete against each other in small groups.
