I specialise in general science resources for KS3 and KS4 and biology for KS5. I try to make my resources suitable for non-specialists and teachers new to the subject, by including answers to any questions and full step-by-step explanations. I love flashcards and try to make a set for each unit I deliver. I am in the process of upgrading these to colour coded (differentiated) sets. All newly added resources will have a remote-learning version too (just in case :-))

This is the second of a set of 10 weekly interventions to work through with a group of vulnerable girls. Aimed at those quieter students who slip under the radar and are struggling to settle in and make friends. They may have anxiety around school and poor self esteem. The content of the whole course is: How it feels to be a teen Navigating the ups and downs of life Focus on feelings Barriers to happiness Increasing positivity Hopes and dreams Letting go Self-esteem and how to increase it Life without limits Celebration This resource is ‘Navigating the ups and downs of life’ - I will add the other resources each week as I deliver them.

This is the first of a set of 10 weekly interventions to work through with a group of vulnerable girls. Aimed at those quieter students who slip under the radar and are struggling to settle in and make friends. They may have anxiety around school and poor self esteem. There is a starting/end questionaire so schools can assess how much difference their intervention has made. The content of the whole course is: How it feels to be a teen Navigating the ups and downs of life Focus on feelings Barriers to happiness Increasing positivity Hopes and dreams Letting go Self-esteem and how to increase it Life without limits Celebration This resource is ‘How it feels to be a teen’ - I will add the other resources each week as I deliver them. There is an online video included in this resource which is not my own but is available on youtube. Any ‘how it feels to be a teen’ type video would suffice here as it is a prompt for discussion.
Biology Keyword definitions and test for units B1, B2 and B3 AQA

Biology Keyword definitions and test for units B1, B2 and B3 AQA

1 Resources
Keyword lists, definitions and tests for the first three units of the Biology GCSE course. There are around 50 definitions for each unit. Created for the most able students aiming for grade 9 in separate science, these are easily tweaked for lower grades and combined students by removing some of the trickier definitions. I’ve used these for my bottom set by paring them right down to 15 definitions to concentrate on. I encourage my students to create a new flashcard each time they come across a new key term from the list and learn it for next lesson.

(0)
Encourage your students to learn key definitions as they study with this keyword definition list for B3 Health and Disease (AQA). Includes blank list (so students can find their own definitions), definitions and test. I will be making these for each unit as I prepare to teach them so look back here for more lists appearing and for the bundle once I have completed all the units. Each keyword list is designed for top set Biology students aiming for grade 9. For lower sets and combined science students, delete as many of the words as needed to make it manageable for them as appropriate.

This is a single lesson on ‘Data manipulation’ Produced for KS3 it is also suitable for KS4 lower sets. We have produced 20 different ‘science skills’ lessons for each of years 7 and 8 which we deliver in 5 'skills weeks throughout the year. I will make these lessons availably singly, in sets of 10 and as whole year sets as they become available. This is year 7 - skills week lesson 5 The lessons can of course be taught in any order and as stand-alone lessons. All lessons have literacy support sheets where needed for students who struggle with writing and differentiated questions where applicable. Lessons are suitable for delivery by specialists and non-specialists and this lesson has a remote learning version included.
