One component of teaching I really enjoy is making resources. I love the creative aspect of it, as well as trying to think of ways to empower student independence and autonomy - as well as make our lives as teachers more straightforward. I am keen to hear what you think of my resources; I like to know what works and if there is anything constructive you think can make these resources better. Now, put the kettle on and take a moment to breathe before your next class :-)

A comprehensive overview of the classification of organisms into the five kingdoms. Range of activities, useful depending on time constraints.

Digestive System: Ingestion, Peristalsis, Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation, Egestion

Digestive System: Ingestion, Peristalsis, Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation, Egestion

This is designed for GCSE students (iGCSE Edexcel) but can easily be adapted for other specifications and age groups. I simplified it very easily for high ability KS3 students. A very detailed lesson which follows a flow diagram of exam questions to guide students independently to progress through the activities. VERY STUDENT LED. How it works: - Students attempt Q1 then self-assess - If the student achieves full marks, they may move onto the Q2. - If the student does not achieve full marks, then they must work through the related task. Then self-assess. Then re-attempt the exam question. - Student moves through the questions in the same manner... Teacher can play a facilitator role; encourage, as well as answer any questions the students may have.
