A lesson resource for covering artificial and natural selection. Lots of good examples and a nice activity around the Quagga and Pocket Mice...much better than the Peppered Moth and accompanied by a decent video. As always leave feedback and follow @CE4ET and @boostprogress.

Good all round coverage of variation, analysis of variation (fingerprints) and the inheritance of characteristics. Provides good examples and punnet squares for the understanding genetic crosses. There is also a nice Mr. Men and Little Miss activity I 'borrowed&' from somebody else. As always leave feedback and follow @CE4ET and @boostprogress.

This lesson follows on from 'The Egg' for teaching solids, liquids and gases in a contextual way. The focus is Felix Baungatners(?) high altitude heroics (?) and the idea of his suit and capsule being a 'man-made&' egg. The lesson covers covers L3 to L6 and good progress is possible by looking back across both lessons and redrafting written explanations. Basic lesson attached as usual and please suggest improvements or additions. Follow me on twitter @boostprogress

Basically a take on the caffeine practical getting pupils to drink water, decaffeinated or caffeinated cola and then test reaction times online. You could alternatively use the ruler drop or compare with ruler for precision work.Students plan and then implement, then review and improve their plans. Great fun and there is a diamond 9 card sort activity to identify the key control variables. The drinking of water also helps to introduce control tests properly. Can be tailored to cover from L3 to L8 easily.You can also follow me on twitter @boostprogress

I came up with this lesson to teach solids, liquids and gases in a contextual way by using a chicken's egg as a practical focus. Give the pupils an egg and find the solids, liquids and gases, where and why are they present and link to some high brow science with the explanations and links to particle theory. This lesson covers L4 to L6, and can be changed to go beyond. Basic lesson attached as usual and please suggest improvements or additions. Follow me on twitter @boostprogress

A resource to investigate the mathematics skills needed for calculating magnification of cells and objects. Also covers the idea of a formula. Engaging context and has a card sort for kinesthetic activities. If used please send me feedback.
