Mindmap with missing words to fill in covering: balanced diet, not enough food, obesity, cholesterol, diabetes, respiration, drugs, trialling drugs, smoking and alcohol. Used at end of B1.1 before end of unit test

I used this with both Yr 7 and Yr 6 in the week before their end of year exams. In end of unit tests lots of pupils were missing marks as they were not giving enough detail to gain full marks - I used this ppt and attached questions to try and rectify this and to calm their exam nerves!

Ppt covering effects of medicines & antibiotics on pathogens. Includes method for growing cultures. Some assessment opportunities included

Ppt that goes through what pathogens are, the effect they have on our bodies and the history behind infection control looking at Semmelweiss' discoveries. Includes opportunities for assessment through ppt and a cryptogram puzzle as a starter that defines a pathogen.

I stick these cards on all my students books - this allows me to easily get all the students into two sorts of groups: ability groups via animal (squid = high, crab = mid, starfish = low) and into mixed ability groups using the parts of an atom. I have then stuck big pictures of each grouping round room so that when I ask students to get into groups they know exactly where to go. I have also stuck the animals onto my desk so help with giving out differentiated worksheets - each student picks up sheet next to their animal.

This activity describes through different learning styles and how we learn. Includes activity to see if students learn better by reading information or using pictures.

This was used as an introductory lesson on a cross curricular day linking science to the holocaust. Links recent uses of DNA fingerprinting to help to reunite families torn apart by the holocaust and also to attempt to identify holocaust-era forensic remains. I finished the lesson with the DNA fingerprinting mysteries - see seperate resource and then a second lesson doing a practical where the students extracted their own DNA from cheek cells

I've adapted a sheet I found on TES (Thank you!) to add more assessment opportunities - I used this at the start of a lesson revising photosynthesis - students filled only what they were sure of at beginning of lesson then I went through lesson and then they want back to sheet and completed the rest of it.

Includes word loop and 'Find someone who ... &' used for a revision lesson on forces before end of unit test

Goes through definition of homeostasis and a quick overview of how temperature, water and glucose levels are controlled in our bodies. Includes a word loop activity.

Introduces idea of photosynthesis and leads through where all the raw products for photosynthesis come from and how the plant is adapted to get those resources

Contains powerpoint with activities - distillation task taken from TES (thank you!)

PPt covering antibiotics resistance, SARS & Bird flu. Exam questions on last slide to act as plenary

This is a group of resources that contains all you need to run a World Science Day/Week in your school. Every year I put on a week devoted to Science at my Prep School. I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. These are my resources from this year when I choose the theme of Our Amazing Solar System to celebrate Tim Peake being on the International Space Station. TES Cosmic Classroom cards were laminated and stuck around the school for the Science Quiz treasure hunt as well as the Astronomy quotes (thank you to TES contributer). Teachers were encouraged to do a Pop Rocket lesson during the week (see attached sheet) and use the video link below to use as starters for lessons that week (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-c1dffc35-fe53-492d-a4bf-752a22bd1ebc).

PPt used with mixed Yr 7 group for double lesson introducing the different parts of a scientific investigation - includes assessment opportunities and simple investigation at end to check their understanding

PowerPoint and starter for a KS3 Biology lesson on adaption and food chains. This was used for a double lesson (2hrs) for Yr 7's - introduces idea of adaptation and recaps food chains from KS2. Activities included. Worksheet used with low ability students as a starter

This was used as an introductory lesson to 'Microbes and Disease'. Has links to videos and clips to liven it up - I got students to draw a picture for each time period on the comic strip to show what people thought about transmission of diseases - they loved it - very fun lesson

Ppt describes role of diffusion in photosynthesis to allow Carbon dioxide to move into the leaf through the stoma. Includes a demo of diffusion using perfume sprayed into one corner of lab and class practical to observe stoma under microscope using nail varnish. Also included differentiated worksheet on diffusion.

All the resources etc you need to run a G&T CSI Day - I've taken out the photos of staff that I used as suspects so you&'ll need to add your own. Re Evidence - i dipped a shoe into hot chocolate (!) and then pushed it down onto sticky backed plastic to make a shoe print that was &';obtained' from the crime scene, fibres were pulled from several scarfs and stuck onto microscope slides

This is a group of resources that contains all you need to run a World Science Day/Week in your school. Every year I put on a week devoted to Science at my Prep School. I have competitions for each Year group (Yr 1 - 8) as well as Science Assembly where I do demos etc. These are my resources from last year when I choose the theme of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) to get children involved in the consultation process and get their families to vote. I also ran a teacher competition this year - to learn the whole Periodic Table of Elements!
