Predominately a Chemistry teacher, although I dabble with Biology and Physics too. Most of my schemes of work were planned for either AQA or iGCSE schemes of work at KS4 and the IB at KS5 (although I have no official affiliation with the IB)

This 2 week KS3 scheme of work was designed to take 4x100 minute lessons. The aim of the project is to guide students to research, test, ´market´ and evaluate their own fertiliser.
The lessons are broken down as follows:
Lesson 1 - Research and Planning
Lesson 2 - Testing fertiliser options
Lesson 3 - Product Design
Lesson 4 - Pitching the design to peers and evaluation
Originally designed to link Science with Business and Enterprise, it could also be used to encourage the use of transferable skills in science, and would make an independent and interactive ´end of year´ activity.
