A4 sheet covering Energy types, transfers, fuels, fossil fuel formation, photosynthesis, production of electricity renewable energy and climate change - used as revision tool before unit test. Now including answer sheet.

Powerpoint that leads you through the importance of gene banks. Links to the Seed Bank set up by the Norwegian Government up in Arctic circle - complete with question sheet for students to fill in as they listen. Also video link to how Kew Gardens are using gene banks to protect plant biodiversity

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.

This is a ppt that I use to teach specialised cells - I stick the info sheets round the room and the students have to go round and collect information to complete their sheets - these are differentiated to allow for the wide ability range in the class

I used this ppt for the first lesson with my Yr 7 to get them thinking about rules in the lab. I printed off the second slide and laminated it and gave it to pairs of students with a whiteboard pen and asked them to circle any dangerous situations - we then used what they came up with to draw up our own class list of safety rules

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

A tutorial used along with a demonstration of the reactions of Lithium, Sodium and Potassium with water. Includes assessment opportunities

Ppt covering how the growth of microbes can be prevented: the difference between disinfectants & antiseptics and practical using different strengths of disinfectant to see effect on growth of bacteria on agar plates.

I've adapted a ppt I found on TES (thank you) to give more information and assessment opportunities - covers white blood cells, antibodies, immunity, vaccines, medicines, antibiotics and Alexander Fleming

Everything you need to revise Cells for end of KS3 exams - I stick the specialised cell sheets around room and allow students to extract necessary information to fill in on their sheets - assessment opportunities included on ppt

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

These are resources I put together for a Separating Mixtures sow - it covers atoms, elements and compounds too as an introduction to what a mixture is. Includes lots of opportunity for assessment and practical activities.

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

This lesson is taught in a series of lessons on different chemical reactions, following on from a lesson that went through why some metals corrode, what is needed for corrosion/rusting to occur and how to prevent corrosion. This was taught to a top set Yr 8 set who are set into two animal groups (squid = top, crab = bottom). Lesson is differentiated for the two groups to allow individual work for the top group and paired work for the bottom half - worksheet attached to enable bottom group to achieve LO. We spend one lesson planning this and then set up the expt during next lesson and leave it to run over half term to maximize time for rusting. In my school I use this lesson to assess one strand of scientific investigative skills that count towards our School's Baccalaureate.

Ppt that covers deficiencies in our diets and also the consequences of eating too much of certain foods. Worksheet (from TES - thank you) that I have adapted and differentiated to account for large range of learners in my class

Basic powerpoint containing method of making indicator with beetroot (red cabbage works just as well) and write up/testing indicator. Used with mixed Yr 7 class

This was done over two lessons - the first lesson was spent planning the investigation and naming the variables - see differentiated planning sheet - my pupils are all grouped according to ability (they had to come up with a method of measuring the energy content of a bit of food in groups) I then showed them the experimental set up so that the next lesson they could come in and start working straight away. A third lesson was spent writing up and evaluating - high ability group had to write up independently - low ability were given lots of the resources attached.

Resource collect to help students create a recycling campaign to encourage staff and students to be responsible with the resources they use. This was run as a 2hr activity for a Yr 7 science lesson to encourage group work and creative thinking. It worked extremely well with some excellent presentations taking place at the end of the second lesson. The planning sheet was blown up to A3. Starter activity borrowed from another TES resource - thank you!

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

I run this challenge after teaching a unit on renewable and non renewable energy sources. The activity is taken from Practical Action's website. I've done this with two mixed ability classes and it works really well - everyone very involved and some great critical thinking going on while discussing designs etc.
