This 2 week KS3 scheme of work was designed to take 4x100 minute lessons. The aim of the project is to guide students to research, test, ´market´ and evaluate their own fertiliser. The lessons are broken down as follows: Lesson 1 - Research and Planning Lesson 2 - Testing fertiliser options Lesson 3 - Product Design Lesson 4 - Pitching the design to peers and evaluation Originally designed to link Science with Business and Enterprise, it could also be used to encourage the use of transferable skills in science, and would make an independent and interactive ´end of year´ activity.

This lesson was planned as a stand alone investigation lesson for KS3, designed to allow students to work on their practical skills. When observed it got an ´Outstanding´ (for what it is worth), and I have attached the lesson plan. It involves a ´poisoning´ scenario where students are asked to identify an unknown powder used to poison someone. Students are asked to choose the equipment that they will use, test some named powders and use this to identify the unknown powder. They are then asked to write a letter to a detective (using a level ladder as a guide) explaining how they identified a poison. They should then peer assess against the level ladder.

These revision sheets were designed for year 9 Chemistry pre-iGCSE scheme of work and could be used as revision for the Cambridge Checkpoint Science 9 Chemistry topics. They may also be useful as revision for weaker GCSE students Topics: Atomic Structure; Energy Changes; Rates of Reactions; Acids, Bases and Salts; Reactions of metals

Three homework projects for the Exploring Science 7 scheme of work on Cells, Reproduction and Adaptations. Each project comes with a level ladder style success grid for students to maximise their learning

This scheme of work was planned as part of the iGCSE course, but could be used for other courses. It includes PowerPoints, activities, experiments, homework and formative assessment resources. The topics covered are: - Elements, compounds and mixtures - Atomic Structure - Isotopes - Ionic and Covalent Bonding - Conservation of Mass and Balancing Equations

Scheme of work planned for KS4 redox (originally for the IGCSE scheme of work). Includes a practical on oxidising and reducing agents, a full PowerPoint (41 slides) and a starter activity. Students will learn: How to define oxidation and reduction in terms of hydrogen, oxygen and electrons Practicing writing half equations How to assign oxidation states to transition metal ions How to identify what has been oxidised and what has been reduced Common oxidising and reducing agents - how these work and the colour changes involved

3 homework projects suitable for KS4 Physicsx students on Energy and Payback Time, Forces and Momentum and Waves and Communication. Each project comes with a level ladder style success grid, graded A*-D, for students to maximise their learning

4 homework projects suitable for KS4 Chemistry students on Extracting Copper, Oil, Nanoparticles and Smart Materials and Analysing Substances. Each project comes with a level ladder style success grid, graded A*-D, for students to maximise their learning.

2 homework projects suitable for KS4 students on the topics of genetics and hydroponics. Each project comes with a level ladder style success grid, broken down into grades A*-D, for students to maximise their learning

Two lessons designed to cover the topics of stability of compounds (carbonates, nitrates and hydroxides) and the limecycle for the iGCSE, but could also be used for other exam boards. Includes PowerPoints, two practical activities and a computer research task

Unit of work on structure and bonding focusing on the four different types of bonding - ionic, covalent (simple and giant) and metallic. The Unit includes a PowerPoint and a booklet. The booklet provides spaces for the students to fill in answers as they go through the PowerPoint and also includes an exam question summary of each type of bonding. The answers to the questions are also included. Could be used for students to learn the topic independently in a flipped classroom setting, or in class with a lower ability group.
