I have been teaching science for over 30 years. although Biology is my specialism I have lots of experience of teaching Physics and Chemistry to GCSE. I am particularly interested in practical work and believe that all science teachers should be able to teach good practicals and give practical demos.

This is for KS3 students to give them practice at collecting and analysing data. It proved to be very effective with a mixed ability group of Year 7 students. Although there is just one document there is enough here to keep a class busy for an hour and they are practising maths skills essential to science and some scientific skills as well

Van Helmont's Investigation into plant growth. KS3 or GCSE.

Van Helmont's Investigation into plant growth. KS3 or GCSE.

(4)
This is a worksheet for students to analyse data from Van Helmont’s investigation. It can be used as an introduction to photosynthesis or as an exercise in understanding the scientific method. The unique feature of this is information is given from the original writings and teachers have found this gives an extra stretch and challenge to the problems set. More questions than those given can be added. Could be useful for KS3 or KS4. I have just added a link to a video which gives the background to his investigation and has notes on the video from the Science and Plants for Schools website.
