Science Teacher and Marathon Runner! I graduated top of my class from the University of Limerick (BSc with concurrent teacher education) in 2015 and having taught in the Irish and UK system I have a in depth appreciation for curriculum. I currently teach Biology and Chemistry at A-Level and GCSE science in London. I am passionate about science and thoroughly enjoy creating resources, please feel free to review my resources.

A series of basic science investigation sheets for students to use in completing simple (KS3 biology, chemistry and physics) experiments. Includes methods, result tables, follow up questions and associated slides.
This lesson is part of AQA quantitative chemistry for GCSE chemistry.
It follows on from conservation of mass and balanced chemical equations
Complete lesson with associated practice questions
Complete introduction lesson as per AQA GCSE Biology lesson. These slides are easily adaptable and elicit prior knowledge of plants, organisation and infection and response.
Photosynthesis equation and balanced chemical equation.
Factors that affect photosynthesis.
A complete lesson as per the specificaiton for AQA combined science and GCSE Biology.
This lesson follows on from a lesson on ‘Photosynthetic reaction’.
It builds on knowledge of the equation for photosynthesis by introducing rate.
Elicits prior knowledge of enzymes and the effect of temperature.
Graph skills
A complete lesson as per the specificaiton for AQA combined science and GCSE Biology.
This lesson follows on from a lesson on ‘Rate of Photosynthesis.
Elicits prior knowledge of plant diseases.
Devising an investigation, carrying out required practical, virtual alternative
Graph skills
Two lessons that cater for the teaching of Meiosis and Reproduction as per the AQA specifcaition for Inheritance, Variation and Evolution (Combined and Biology only).
Resource comes complete with:
Excellent lesson slides and Mark schemes
Mitosis activity (Flipped revision task / HW)
Sexual Vs Asexual literacy task
Exam style practice.
Additional resources to support students preparation for Biology A (Salters Nuffield) Advanced PAPER 3: General and Practical Applications in Biology.
Please feel free to use resoures as part of your own teaching.
Demonstration of how to interpret command words and how to show your thought process when responding to extended writing Q.
These slides offer some examples and can be used as a basis to build a greater bank of model answers / model approaches.
AQA Combined science - Organisation
Non communicable diseases associated with the heart. Slides include activities with mark schemes.
Questions that are ramped in difficulty focus on command words used in exam style Q.
AQA Combined Science and Biology
Organisation
A challenging lesson for a class who have carried out flipped learning on CHD. Includes a literacy task and ramped questions (Recall - Application of knowledge). It also includes a mini whiteboard task.
Interactive set of slides that focus on revision of some practical skills and retrieval knowledge from OCR A / OCR B Chemistry at AS level.
Feel free to include some / all slides as part of a revision lesson.
Lesson 1 of Energy Changes as per AQA specication (Combined science/GCSE Chemistry).
Full set of slides, spaced practice and opportunity for self/peer assessment. Slides and worksheet can be easily adapted to suit other lessons/revision activities.
AQA Combined science and GCSE Chemistry Chemical Changes.
Series of practical activities and associated questions that can be adapted for a range of abilities.
Simulation practical
Foundation style practical
Higher level practical and use of graph and LOBF to determine temperature change for endothermic and exothermic
A series of slides and activities that gets students to think about the change of energy in a reaction, practise drawing reaction profiles, calculating the difference in energy between reactants and products. The use of cataysts and their effect on activation energy is also elicited here. Associated worksheets are included. This resource is geared towards AQA combined science and GCSE chemistry but can be easily adapted.
A series of slides aimed at eliciting prior knowledge of latent heat and introducing the concept of energies associated with bond breaking and bond forming.
This is a complete lesson as per AQA combined science and GCSE Chemsitry specifications on Energy Changes. The worked examples and questions used here can be easily adapted.
This resource also includes a mini teacher assessment.
Exothermic and Endothermic as per AQA specication (Combined science/GCSE Chemistry).
Full set of slides, spaced practice and opportunity for self/peer assessment. Slides and worksheet can be easily adapted to suit other lessons/revision activities.
