This is a ppt used to introduce drugs - students were then put into five groups and each given one of the drug information posters (adapted from a resource on TES - thank you!) to carry out marketplace activity. Worked very well with students supporting/teaching each other with very little need for input from teacher - ideal!!

Useful for end of KS3 exams - I print out the student version of the ppt with four slides per page - they then fill in the gaps as we go through ppt in class. They then can stick two sheets back to back on a piece of card and cut them out to make 4 double sided revision cards. My students love this way of revising.

Covers difference between epidemics and pandemics, how our body defends itself against invading microbes including phagocytosis, antibodies, and antitoxins. Also mentions severe combined immunodeficiency.

6 different mysteries to solve using DNA fingerprints; could be used for forensic style activities

This is a task I give students at the end of the separating mixtures unit - the students are grouped into ability groups (Squid = HIgh, Crab = Mid, Starfish = Low) I show them a sample of dirty Rock salt - their task is to plan how to separate a sample of pure salt from the rock salt using these planning sheets - I blow them up to A3 to give them plenty of room to write on as a group

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

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. For Yr 3/4 Competition I laminated the animal fact cards and hid them around the school so they had to search to find them. For the Seniors (Yr 5 - 8) I hid the fact cards (that I found on TES - thanks!) around the school for them to find.

This is adapted ppt I found on TES (thank you) - now includes loads of assessment opportunities as you go through - I was observed during this lesson and was rated outstanding. The game where the students have to say which food group someone is lacking or needs is done by giving all students 4 pieces of card - 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green and 1 yellow - I then explain the problem/situation and count down from 3 to 0, at 0 all students have to hold up coloured card that matches the required nutrient - great to quickly see who is struggling!

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!

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!

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.

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
