Outstanding Science in a box

Average Rating4.49
(based on 34 reviews)

I specialise in general science resources for KS3 and KS4 and biology for KS5. I try to make my resources suitable for non-specialists and teachers new to the subject, by including answers to any questions and full step-by-step explanations. I love flashcards and try to make a set for each unit I deliver. I am in the process of upgrading these to colour coded (differentiated) sets. All newly added resources will have a remote-learning version too (just in case :-))

This is the lesson that covers the content in Activate 1 (9.1.1) Food chains and webs. It includes a Powerpoint presentation suitable for delivery by a non-specialist, as all answers are included. It also includes a literacy support sheet for students with SEN to reduce writing load. I have also attached the homework mentioned in the powerpoint, but this is not included in the price as it is an external resource.

Activate 1 Matter: Particle model and separating mixtures Year 7 KS3 chemistry

16 Resources
These are the lessons for the Activate 1 (New book) scheme of work. Each lesson has a powerpoint which guides you through the lesson. Most lessons are suitable for non-specialists as answers to any questions on the powerpoint are included. Starting activities are a mixture of literacy, numeracy and scientific thinking. Most lessons have ‘literacy support sheets’ for SEN students and those who struggle to write quickly. There are differentiated double-sided flashcards to prepare for end of unit tests. Chromatography lesson is not included as I did not create a new lesson for this but re-used a colleague’s lesson.
