I have been teaching science for over 30 years. although Biology is my specialism I have lots of experience of teaching Physics and Chemistry to GCSE. I am particularly interested in practical work and believe that all science teachers should be able to teach good practicals and give practical demos.

Modelling the action of white blood cells

Innovative and fun way for students to show their knowledge of antigens, antibodies and phagocytosis. Students use i-pads to make a film. More description of activity and a short video of one of the results are in the blog. Was a great success!

You can use these to: shuffle and ask pupils to sort them into pros and cons. ask pupils to rank them in order of importance. string a 'washing line' between 2 clampstands and get pupils to position them in rank order of importance/ reasons for and against. Use pegs.

GCSE required practical. Resource to measure the population size of a common species -indoors!

(1)
Measuring the population size of a common species in a habitat is a required practical for GCSE. Personally i love fieldwork, but we will all be in a situation when we have planned to teach this, but it is raining outside! Also there is always that one class that you really do not trust. This activity will help you still do that lesson, but indoors. It is not a computer simulation but involves real ecological techniques.

This is for Edexcel A level Biology context-led course. There is information and questions to answer including an exam-style question. I have used and modified some slides from hmc keating's power point on this topic ( on the TES website), and have added some more to suit the teaching of the Edexcel course. Thanks to hmc Keating. The blog link has a little etra about the Red Queen theory of evolution.

New practical to look at stomata. You will never use nail varnish again.

(2)
This resource tells you how your students can see some stunning pictures of stomata, without using that fiddly nail varnish! It also has questions which test the student's understanding of the function of stomata, scientific method and the link between decrease in stomatal density and global warming. Suitable for KS4 and possibly useful for KS5.
