Currently selling and providing free resources for all three sciences, predominantly for GCSE, although there are some KS3 and A level chemistry resources available. Lots of the resources focus on differentiation and exam technique as I feel there is a profession- wide weakness in these areas.

4 lessons: KS3 and GCSE selective breeding; cloning; natural selection and speciation; and GM lessons

based on SMART KS3 course and AQA Biology course. References for AQA and Edexcel included. The students are given a task card, success criteria and information and develop a drama. The task card suggests the characters that might be needed, but you can ask the students to use their own characters if you feel this is best for them. All information is differentiated to four levels, so is suitable from lower ability KS3 right the way up to higher ability GCSE. could be done as four separate lessons or (as I did with my year 7 students) as 2 lessons where the first lesson is the creation and the second lesson is the performance. I asked them to extend their performance to 5 -7 minutes, instead of the 3-5 minutes suggested withing the lesson instructions. The task cards were very useful for my class as it gave them the structure they needed to focus on the information they had to impart. objectives: subject knowledge, creativity, collaboration, presentation skills alternative: the resources could be used to create a model/ story or whatever if you have some shy students
