Practice worksheet for students to add resistances in series, in parallel, and in combinations of the two. It’s free, because paying for stuff sucks. I’ve included a photo of the answers for the back page. You should be able to work out the answers for the rest pretty quickly.

Some B3 powerpoints. I am a physicist, so please do point out any errors that I have made, so that I can alter them. I have been giving plenty of exam questions with these to make sure that skills and terms are practised. Lung exchange one was too big and needed to be split up.

PowerPoint presentation outlining some key features of the layers of the atmosphere.

Set of powerpoints to teach the base level of AQA C1-4 and C1-5 to some mid ability year 9s. I used them backed up with a fractionating column labelling worksheet, and a series of exam questions from AQA Exampro.

Worksheet to help students grasp key points about density and atmospheric pressure for Earth & Space Science.

Sets of creature cards to be handed out to students. Powerpoint/notebook up on the board. Get all students to stand up with their card. An environmental change happens, and if they are not suitable for the environment they die and, once they have explained why they are dead, sit down. Eventually there is one (or perhaps two) creatures still alive. Get them to explain why they are alive. The original was made by a coursemate, but I have extended it and included some lovely pictures of capybaras. All cards have the same animal on to represent this as variations within a species leaving only members of the species with desired characteristics remaining. It doesn't need to be capybaras; they were only chosen as I didn't expect my students to be familiar with them.

Designed to support students preparing for AS91411 Investigate a Socio-Scientific Issue. Students have some questions to lead them in finding out about the arguments for and against the use of wind turbines. Primarily used in a New Zealand setting, where wind turbines are not widely used.

Powerpoints to help lead lessons on B1 cloning. Targeted at a medium ability group who have quickly covered the content earlier in the year. The worksheet used was about cloning Dolly and was found on TES. Twin video link has poor picture, but good sound. If anyone knows the original source of this I would be keen to find out. Other links are a basic Dolly the sheep video, and a clip from Through the Wormhole. I use some low level exam questions from AQA Exampro alongside this, but have not included them as I am unsure how that works legally.

Used to support students preparing to write about a socio-scientific issue of their choice in AS91411. Students use devices to research about coral and what is happening to it. They get the opportunity to investigate why it is happening. I have used it with lower ability Yr13 and higher ability Yr9.

Simple sheet for students to show understanding of relative ionising and penetrating ability, and to identify what alpha and beta particles are. Shows how nuclear equations work for alpha and beta decay and a little about gamma emission. I used it before doing a set of practice nuclear equations.

Calculate speed with exciting maggot races. Starter of speed calculations. To finish, students can take information from a greyhound racing result card to calculate greyhound speeds. Risk assessment included. I've left my class's results on the final slide, so you can see if your maggots were faster than ours.

Used to support students in preparing for AS91411 where they investigate a socio-scientific issue of their choosing. Also used with a higher ability Yr10 class. Research task that asks students to search for information about a topic, looking at an issue from more than one perspective. Topic of Mars colonisation proved popular with students.

Designed to use with NCEA Earth & Space Science Level 3, but potentially suitable for AQA GCSE Physics to support Specific Heat Capacity.

A simple table for students to complete to identify key features about the layers of the atmosphere. Includes the patterns in temperature, pressure and density as you move upwards through each layer. Students may be more comfortable working from the bottom of the sheet upwards, as the troposphere is where they should be used to starting.

Designed to support my students in completing NCEA internal standard AS91168. Encourages them to take a logical approach to completing practical investigations. It has thrilling features like; designing a good table, selecting appropriate control variables, identifying relationships by looking at curved graphs, and using the relationship and gradients to find the equation. How exciting! Have fun! Feedback and alterations are welcome.

Adapted/updated from an existing TES resource that I saw in use before I started my training. This activity looks at inheritance of alleles and traits from parent dragons to baby dragons. It takes a while to prepare and needs a load of letters written on lolly sticks. My Yr10 (NZ) relatively low ability class enjoyed it, and it was nice to have something like this in a topic without practical work. Enjoy.

PowerPoint presentation covering: What are aerosols? What are the effects of aerosols? How do clouds form? I have used for New Zealand NCEA AS91414.

This VERY EXCITING, animated PowerPoint delivers a problem for students starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Darth Vader. The problem covers the ideas of momentum, centre of mass, and projectile motion. I have now scanned in the worked answers. So exciting to show that the centre of mass obeys conservation of momentum. Enjoy.

Exciting animated powerpoint including a high quality audio recording. It is a simple conservation of momentum question with the two bodies sticking together during the collision. Enjoy. Answers are there.
