A4 Association map (similar to concept map) using keywords from OCR Biology Student book glossary. Shows a high level view of enzymes, particularly with respect to substrate interaction. More general information about association, and other visual maps, can be found on the website.

A set of differentiated sheets with slightly different annotations developed to support an SEN group to understand how to use a protractor to measure angles of incidence and reflection in a practical situation. I photocopied the sheets and students used them in place of a blank sheet of paper.

Flowchart showing the various feedback loops during female fertility. Option to add information about hormonal control. Gives context to menstrual cycle.

Further information about the association modelling process used can be found on the website. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking!

Feedback sheet for use by teacher or for self/peer assessment. I use this with marker pens. www in points coloured in green. ebi points coloured in pink. Following feedback Students have to mark the parts of their graph which are correct in green and modify where possible the ebi points. Could also be used prior to drawing a graph to remind students of requirements. Currently suitable for scatter graphs but could be modified easily for other types of graph.

A set of 25 revision cards. They are designed to help students build links between the different concepts. Cards can be read in any order and eg sorted into 'understand' and 'don't understand' I have used them effectively to stimulate group discussion and peer support half way through the topic. Further information about the association modelling process used to design them can be found on the website. Comments and ideas welcomed. Thanks for looking!

A concept/association map showing the requirements for thermal energy transfer (conduction, convection and radiaton) to occur. Of use when planning how to teach the topic, or to help students consider energy gradients and pathways for exam type scenarios (eg double glazed window, vacuum flask). Web site added as a guide to the mapping method. Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

This is a concept map of the ideas around selecting variables. Gives an overview so that students can link the different terms together and remember what they mean. Suitable for all areas of science. Key words: concept map; mind map; science investigation

This activity can be used with the Nervous Control Powerpoint Presentation or as a stand alone activity. Students draw round a 5-pointed star using the reflection in a mirror. They will find that they speed up over the course of six stars and develop strategies for coping with difficult turns. Some students find the activity more difficult than others and they can discuss why this might be (eg visual vs kinesthetic learners)

This resource shows keywords organized into a concept map which is color coded in three different ways. This might serve as a review resource for students, or for staff when planning a course. Keywords: concept map, mind map, light, sound

I hope you will find these posters useful as part of a class display or as a set for reminders when practicing particular aspects of PLTS. Please let me know how you intend to use them. I have found them useful for teaching many different elements of the Science curriculum at KS3 and KS4 and for linking into the whole school policy in this area. PLTS; Biology; Chemistry; Physics; Practical Skills; Group Work

A concept map of parts of a flower and the part they play in reproduction. Keywords: flower parts; plant reproduction; concept map; mind map.

Grouped keywords from the glossary of the OCR AS Level Student book. Areas include chemical reactions, bonding, forces, and solutions. Provides a useful reference and revision sheet in concept/mind map format. Information about association mapping process available at the accompanying website. Comments and ideas welcomed!

For those who don't have a snap fix system. Simple background circuit diagrams to stand components on (A4 but need to be photocopied to A3). I found these v. useful for 'achieving' circuits with our component and trailing wire system. The students put the bulbs etc on the diagram and then are much more likely to fit the wires correctly, fault fix and understand what the hell is going on! The funding search continues!

This is an A4 concept map of the keywords and ideas from pp40-41 of Collins AQA Science A. I used this as a background aide memoire whilst students were undertaking other activities on this subject. Also useful as a stimulus sheet for practicing longer written answers.

Learn the difference between cells and batteries, by holding up mini whiteboards ('cell' on one side, 'battery' on other) in response to images. Middle slide teaches the difference. Opportunity to try again. Could be used prior to potato battery experiment. \nKey words: Cell, battery, circuit symbol, potato battery,

This diagram was developed with a student who wanted to understand how the ions become atoms again during electrolysis. The "push" and "pull" comments are designed to enforce the idea that the process will not occur without an energy input. Comments would be appreciated.

For students who have to be able to write balanced half equations for binary salts. It is for use at the end of a lesson which includes video clips, discussion and demonstrations. We discuss page 1 and they are on their own for page 2. Forgive the comic s
