This resource covers the Religious Experience unit of the A-Level AQA syllabus.
It covers the whole unit, through a PowerPoint and a student booklet to support student-led learning. It is well organised and matches perfectly so it is ready to teach! There are a range of activities to support developing knowledge and assessment skills.
This resource covers the nature of religious experience, including different types of visions with a focus on Augustine, Otto’s understanding of numinous experiences and mystical experiences through both James and Stace. It also covers the section on verifying religious experiences, considering challenges from science, religious responses and Swinburne’s principles of credulity and testimony. It finishes with the influence of religious experiences and their value for religious faith.

Bring science and creativity together with this fun, hands-on Christmas chromatography activity designed for KS2/KS3 (Year 5–9). Pupils explore how colours are made by separating the hidden dyes inside felt-tip pens, then turn their results into festive decorations.
This resource includes a simple step-by-step investigation guide. Chromatography paper is recommended, but everyday alternatives are also suggested to make the activity easy to run in any classroom or at home.
Resources Needed:
• Chromatography paper - available on amazon for around £6 (or white coffee filters as an alternative)
• Beaker / jam jar / any clear plastic container
• Water
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Paper clip or tape
• Felt-tip pens for testing
Pupils learn that felt-tip inks are mixtures of colours and use chromatography to split them apart. Once their chromatograms have dried, they cut out their designs and glue them onto Christmas baubles to create a take-home decoration. This blends science enquiry, observation, and seasonal craft in an accessible, engaging way.
Perfect for introducing mixtures and following a scientific method while keeping learning festive and fun.

Popcorn science experiment or project that teaches students the Scientific Method in a simple and easy to follow format. Everything you need is included except the popcorn and some materials always on hand in a school or kitchen. There is nothing complicated in this experiment, even for the teacher that is new to science experiments!
Students will work together to try to find out if storing popcorn in different temperatures, such as the freezer, will help more kernels to pop. They will store several brands of popcorn in different temperatures. Then, they will pop the popcorn in a microwave or air popper. Students will count the kernels that didn't pop. They will work through all steps of the Scientific Method. As the students work through each step, they will complete the activity pages and data collection sheets. At the end, the class can enjoy a fun popcorn treat!
All activity steps are outlined in the Teacher Directions. All parts of the science experiment have record sheets and informational pages for the students to use. This is also great for kids that need to create a science project.

A worksheet to record the findings of a marble experiment, when learning about forces (friction). YEAR 2/3. The children rolled marbles down ramps onto different surfaces and measured how it went.
A set of A4 size posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc)
Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview.
There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.
Display these 6 A4 science experiment posters for your students to follow as they carry out a science investigation. I display these posters in class and my students refer to them throughout the investigation to remind my students of the steps involved.
