A quite simple crossword on aerobic respiration that works well as a starter activity to settle a class who have previously been learning about respiration. May be suitable for higher ability KS3 or else KS4. Answers are provided on the final page. Comments welcome.

A task that will likely run across 2 lessons. Context setting using a video clip then introduction to the task using the ppt. slides. A set of useful links is also provided that you can give to students to guide their research. A different inherited disorder can be given to each group of students. Originally designed for AQA Science B Unit 2.

A timed quiz that will play itself. There's a student sheet that you can print out and give to students to complete as the quiz plays - helpful for less able students. Covers a variety of topics. Please let me know what you think! Hope your students enjoy it!

An elaborate sorting/matching activity. Print and cut out ready for students. You will likely need to refer to the 'solution'! I usually mark the middle 6 triangles and tell students to do these first otherwise they get a bit swamped. It will probably take them around 20 mins or more. Particularly good for revision/end of the topic. Originally designed for the old AQA C2 spec but pretty much all relevant to the new C2 spec I think and any other course featuring properties of different structures.

A powerpoint to be used as a guide during this lesson on solubility and how it is affected by temperature. Very 'practical skills' focussed, which probably explains the negative reviews below. See notes section for more directions/links. Fits in with a series of lessons for this topic. Includes directions for a practical and takes students through each of the steps to plan and write up their investigation. There is unlikely to be time to cover each section fully in one lesson, so choose a focus or spread the work out over a couple of lessons.

This is an animated Powerpoint slide, including sound effects, to try and simplify the method for the limestone cycle practical using diagrams.

A lesson of activities as revision for the Energy and Ecosystems topic within AQA A2 Biology (Chapter 5 in Nelson Thornes text book). Contains a ppt providing a starter activity to generate discussion then guiding through a couple of revision activities that aim to get students really thinking about exam technique. Past-paper exam question also provided, with mark scheme and examiner commentary. Thanks for looking and please add your comments here!

A series of slides to help run a pub-quiz-style lesson for revision of this unit. There are various rounds to try and maintain students' interest and enthusiasm! It's for the new spec. Students can work in groups. There&'s quite a lot in here so you will have to judge whether you can fit it into one lesson. Rounds could be left out/inserted as necessary. Various tips/instructions are provided in the notes sections of the ppt. slides. Hope it helps - please leave me your feedback!

A powerpoint to be used as a guide during this lesson on heating on cooling. See notes section for more directions/links. Fits in with a series of lessons for this topic.

A template for students to fill in when doing/planning an investigation to get them to think about the different variables and aspects of reliability. Good preparation for any controlled assessment/ISA.

Lesson for AQA Science B new spec Unit 3 Theme 1. Has various student activities but requires Q&A from the teacher to elicit understanding. Also includes a link to a video clip and 2 gap-fill activities that you may wish to print out for students in advance. Leave me some comments. Hope it helps!

A set of slides pulled together from various places for a lesson on selective breeding and cloning for Unit 3 Theme 2 of the AQA Science B new spec. I went through the spec with the students for this lesson so they could understand the context so have attached that here as well. Please leave your comments - hope it helps!

Ppt acts as a guide through the lesson and contains various activities. SOLO taxonomy used throughout. Learning objectives also SOLO linked. Includes mini plenaries. I also provide students with a placemat that has a topic mindmap on 1 side and glossary on other. I print it A3, colour & laminate. It is attached here: 'Respiration Mindmap'. One activity is to evaluate a model answer. You could use 1 or more question from file attached. I taught this as a 1 hour observation lesson and was graded 'Outstanding'. I developed it with help from teachers on twitter after #PlanningPanic so THANK YOU!

A powerpoint to be used as a guide during this lesson on compression. See notes section for more directions/links to useful websites. Fits in with a series of lessons for this topic. Includes a practical using syringes to compress sand/water/air. Also features advice on writing a conclusion.

These are the same questions in two formats (as a loop game or question cards). For the question cards, i print out one set and laminate then give one to each student. Students then walk around the room and ask their question to someone else. They receive a question in return. Students then swap cards and continue. Run this for 5/10mins or however long you want and students keep count of their scores. For the loop game I challenge them to call out their answers before I can intercept...encourages their concentration!

An overview of the topics included in Unit 3 of the new AQA Science B spec. I find students get confused about what is included in each unit within science B so this aims to remind them. Not in a lot of detail - merely aims to prompt. Given out during revision. Hope it helps - please leave your comments!

I print this in colour on A3 paper, double-sided and laminate as a form of 'place mat' that students can have with them throughout the lessons for this topic. It encourages their independent learning as they can look for the meaning of words themselves. It also allows students to see where each lesson fits into the overall topic. Please leave you comments. Enjoy!

A set of questions that could be set in class or for homework to help students to revise for Unit 3 (Theme 1) of the new AQA Science B spec. Very closely linked to the exam specification. Please leave your comments - hope it helps!
