Watch video ‘Hearing the sound’ (find on YouTube) whilst answering questions. Approx. 20 mins video, so 20 questions roughly one a minute. Can be answered on the sheet with (mostly) single word answers.

Activity to identify names of endocrine glands. Word doc. has 2 copies of slide 2 of the powerpoint. Makes for easier printing for A5 copies to stick in exercise books. Full instructions on slide 1.

Pairs of science words that students might confuse, in meaning and/or spelling. Pick a specific slide to use in a lesson or pick one at random to fill a few spare minutes at the start or end of a lesson.

I always found that students struggle to draw predator/prey sketch graphs. So this is a half done graph for them to complete. The worksheet has 2 identical pages so that you can print 2 pages on one to give A5 worksheets if you need to. The powerpoint also includes a pyramid of biomass. I haven’t included this on the worksheet because it is good practise to be able to draw the levels correctly using a sharp pencil and ruler!

Table and graph axes to support lower ability students with recording data from the practical identified on the table.

Differentiated card sorts. Sheet 1 has less text than sheet 2. Could be KS3 and KS4 or less and more able. I use them as starter activities. Print on card and cut up, put in small zip bags. Could be used as a starter to assess prior knowledge or as a plenary to assess learning in the lesson.

This could be done as a revision task to assess understanding of concepts. I have found it most useful as an alternative homework task. Students either love it or hate it. Those that love doing these want to do more. Some just don’t get it. I have always found that more students do the homework if they have a choice of activities. Consider this as one alternative. I usually print off 4 slides to a page. Slides 1-3 and one other. Print off landscape so that each slide is easier to read.

This needs printing and cutting up ahead of the lesson because the sentences are correctly matched on the sheet. If done on thin card they can be used again and again. Try printing each sheet on a different colour card. That way if one card left over you can easily pair it up with its correct pack. Also 2 students sitting together can have different colour packs without them getting cards mixed up.
