The objective of this activity is to introduce students to science while fostering team collaboration and getting to know each other.
Divide the group and give them the science-themed question cards, students will work together in groups to answer questions and share their responses, simultaneously introducing themselves to their peers and teacher.
The resources include the power point presentation I follow on my first day of Science so that I set expectations for they year and an icebreaker activity.
All resources are editable for you to add or remove items and customise it for your needs.

This resource is designed to enhance Biology students skills in simple and serial dilutions.
Mastering dilution techniques is fundamental for paper 3, practical exam for CIE and these slides provide several examples for students to practice the most common ones.
They also gain hands-on experience through these slides as I provide them with the material needed to prepare the dilutions after working out the numbers.
I use this presentation in combination with “Practical skills booklet” so that they can also practice past paper questions and other required skills such as graphs and planning investigations.
I hope you find it helpful.
