Students always find predicting the products of electrolysis with aqueous solutions quite tricky - so I made this helpsheet to support my students until they were able to remember the rules themselves!

Here’s an interactive resource that can be used as an end of unit summary or as a tool for Year 11 Revision. This foldable will test the skills of students to recall, manipulate and apply some of the key equations from the AQA P5 unit. It’s also quite a hands on resource that works well with mid - lower ability KS4 groups. Print the sheet for each student - make sure it’s double sided! Ask students to cut along the dotted lines & fold along the solid lines. Students should then complete the foldable flap for each equation and use these to answer the questions. The back section of the sheet can then be stuck into their books. Feedback is always appreciated!

I always find teaching nanoparticles quite tricky, as students often don’t engage with the topic. Whilst searching for activities, I stumbled across a fantastic video that won best short film at the Scinema Science festival in 2010. This worksheet is designed to accompany the video and can be used as a task within the classroom or as an independent homework task. There’s an answer sheet included and also a section for students to write their answers. *I would suggest asking students to use headphones (if possible) whilst watching the video.

Here’s a free Introduction to respiration from my 5.2.2 Respiration Key notes collection. My Key notes summarise the non-negotiables that students need to know about the Cellular respiration sub-topic within the A-level Biology course. Each key note sheet is split into three ‘key’ sections. Sections will vary depending on the lesson but they all contain a ‘key terms’ section and useful diagrams. This resource is made to support the OCR A-level course but can also be used with other exam boards. The whole set of key notes for this sub topic can be purchased from my store.

AQA Chemistry is tricky at the best of times, but it can become even trickier when students are expected to remember all the different calculations from the various units. To make things easier, I give my students a copy of this sheet to keep in their books. Its a handy resource that gives them a bit of independence when attempting past papers or calculation questions. Feedback is always appreciated!

This helpsheet can be used to support KS3 or KS4 scientists in setting up and completing a lab report for an investigation. It contains guidance to each key part of a lab report and allows students to mark these off as they go along! The resource helps students with the following steps: Introduction Aim Hypothesis Method Tables for results Graphs for results Discussion & Conclusion

Higher level papers often include extended writing questions on investigation design. This bookmark acts as a writing frame to help students to structure their answers to these higher demand questions. The bookmark uses the ‘AIMFOR’ mnemonic to encourage students to cover all the key parts of method design. Key words are also included to help students when deciphering the exam question.

Teaching students to predict and explain the outcome of a change to a system at equilibrium is always tricky. So here’s a helpsheet that I use with students to guide them through the process. The double sided sheet includes: Step-by-Step guides to determining answers. Model answers A tool to visualise the change to the system Explanations of changes to temperature, pressure & concentration.

Here’s an activity that can be used to summarise the names and differences between Alkanes & Alkenes. This works well as a lesson activity or as a revision activity. Students should cut out each domino. Rearrange them so that the end of one leads into the start of another. Check their answers with you (answer sheet included in the resource) Stick the correct order into their book. Each domino also has a number on it so that a correct sequence can be written down, a process that doesn’t involve any cutting or sticking. This is useful approach for students that prioritise cutting/sticking over the actual activity.

Here’s a boomark that can be given to students at the start of each year to help them with their unit conversions. It’s a quick and easy way to help students to get used to looking for unit conversions in exam questions & also getting them used to quick conversions. The boomark covers: Units of length & distance Units of volume Units of mass

Here’s a ready to go resource for A-level biology students working through the OCR Genetic Manipulation unit. Students can scan the QR codes using iPads, laptops, chromebooks or their own phones. The QR codes will take them to videos or articles that will support them as they work through the questions. This is an excellent way of helping students to develop their understanding of gene therapy techniques (e.g. CRISPR) and how these are used.

ere’s a really engaging activity that encourages students to practice their using the W = m x g calculations. The activity includes: 10 calculation cards: each with a different scenario that requires students to calculate either mass, weight or gravitational field strength. 2 additional challenge cards A worksheet that could be printed to help organise their answers An answer sheet for checking work at the end of the activity. This active task would suit any KS3 class and possibly a lower set KS4 class.

Here’s an interactive resource that helps students to get to grips with the key differences and similarities between the Group 1 elements. The task allows students to research and compile information on Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium & Caesium. They can use this information to play against each other by comparing the boiling points, mass numbers, atomic numbers, reactivity and electron configuration of each element. The resource includes instructions and also extension questions for students that finish early.

This summary task asks students to identify organelles based on their description. Once identified, student can colour the plant & animal cell diagrams to show the correct location of each organelle. A few variations of the task are included, so tasks can be assigned based on students’ ability. Answers are also included for quick self or peer assessment. Feedback is always appreciated :)

Here’s an interactive activity that students can use to find out and summarise their knowledge of methods of glucose, insulin, glucagon & glycogen. Cut out the larger square and fold the corners along the dotted lines. Identify whether the key words hormones or molecules using the tick boxes. 2.Add a description of each hormone or molecule to the inside of each corner. Complete the gap fill to describe how glucose level are controlled. Stick the gap fill into the exposed centre of the foldable. Stick the reverse side of the foldable into their book. This is a resource that’s designed for a mid to lower ability class and supports the energy transfers topic from the AQA Biology specification.

Here’s a guided worksheet to help mid-lower ability students with calculating Rf values for the chromatography practical. It can be a good idea to use this sheet whilst students are waiting for their results to develop during the practical or can be a stand alone worksheet.

Here’s an interactive resource that helps students to get to grips with the key differences and similarities between the Group 7 elements. The task allows students to research and compile information on Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Bromine and Astatine. They can use this information to play against each other by comparing the boiling points, mass numbers, atomic numbers, reactivity and electron configuration of each element. The resource includes instructions and also extension questions for students that finish early.

Here’s an interactive way for your students to summarise the key aspects of each key atomic model. This activity has a tab with associated questions for the following scientists: Democritus John Dalton JJ Thomson Ernest Rutherford Niels Bohr James Chadwick. There is also a central section that contains a space for students to draw diagrams of two models & also a quick multiple choice quiz. Feedback is always appreciated!
