I have been teaching Science for 12 years now and the last 11 have been in British International Schools in Mexico and Spain. I have been an IB Diploma examiner for the last 9 years.
My specialism is Biology but I currently teach Biology up to IGCSE and KS3 Science. Most of my resources are EAL/ESL focussed as the majority of my pupils do not have English as a mother tongue. I am selling resources for KS3 Science and IGCSE Biology. I continue to upload many resources for free.

This is a differentiated sheet where pupils have to order or fill in blanks for instructions of how to use a microscope. The extension would be to write instructions without this resource. Page 1 has the instructions in the correct order, I put them next to the microscopes. Page 2 the pupils have to cut out and put in the right order, Page 3 Pupils have to fill in the blanks with words provided.
This worksheet gets pupils to describe the differences between inhaled and exhaled air. They have to draw a graph of the data and draw the particles too as a challenge.
This is a set of posters with vocabulary useful in all science topics. There are names of equipment and classroom furniture as well as units of measurement. I have these up in my lab as most of my pupils are EAL.
This revision guide is 58 pages long. It is composed of closed questions that cover every point of the 2015 0653 syllabus for all three sciences. Pupils complete the revision guide by answering all the questions which gives them a summary of the whole course in one book. This is an essential revision tool and really helps pupils to structure their revision time and should improve their grades. This is the version for 2015 exams in June and November. 2016 version to follow.
The price of this resource is set high because you can make as many copies as you like for the pupils in your classes. This is considerably cheaper than buying the required number of copies of any revision guide book.
Please contact me if you notice any mistakes and I will edit the resource and upload a new version.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS REVISION GUIDE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANSWERS/SOLUTIONS
This PowerPoint explains monohybrid inheritance with a few examples and punnet squares. I have tried to make it as appealing lots of colours, images and animations. Written explanations are as simple as possible as a lot of my pupils are EAL learners. Key vocabulary is highlighted throughout.
This PowerPoint is a great start to your lesson/planning. All you have to add is learning objectives and activities to suit your syllabus and class.
Flipped learning videos of the lessons are available at:

All images used are credited in the Bibliography of the PowerPoint and those not mentioned are either taken by me or from Office Clipart for Mac/Windows.
Here you have my planning document for a KS3 Energy Resources Unit. The cover page is a unit outline includes objectives for skills and content, cross curricular, language, ICT, differentiation, collaborative and independent learning. The following pages are lesson outlines with objectives, suggested activities including experiments and homework. They also include ideas for assessment opportunities. Please note worksheets are not included.
This is a transition document as I have included the new National Curriculum objectives but assessment is still outlined using the APP criteria.

This is a quiz with 9 questions that can be used to check pupils understanding of the Energy topic. The concepts included in this quiz are
- burning/combustion
- fire triangle
- energy types
- fossil fuels
- energy in food
- energy changes
These questions can be used one at a time as Hinge Point Questions during the lesson or at the end of topic to diagnose as a class areas that should be revised in more depth. Each question is designed to probe a specific common misunderstanding/misconception. Answers are in the notes section of the PowerPoint.
An answer sheet is provided
Pupils have to summarise their learning in 140 characters like in twitter. They can include hashtag for key words. The resource can be printed and laminated so pupils can write with board pen. I put highlights of these on twitter #tweetplenary
In this ICT lab based lesson pupils search for information about metals and non-metals of their choice. Website links are provided. They then use the information to produce a summary table about the differences.
This is a worksheet to be completed by pupils when they are searching the internet during the 8.2 topic. They have to search using different search engines and complete information for any relevant website they click on (includes bias, reliability, fact or opinion). This sheet should show progression as they improve during the unit.
This is a simple worksheet that I gave to my Year 7s to help them to plan a PowerPoint. They have to complete with the audience, purpose and write what content to include on each slide.
I used this in the first lesson of my rugby world cup unit where pupils will adopt an unfamiliar country and team and produce a powerpoint to inform the rest of the class about the country.
This is a plan of approximately 20 lessons to serve as an introduction to the lab and how to write Scientific reports for year 7, it incorporates 7G. I chose the theme of water, and have included practicals, demonstrations, videos, homeworks and APP links. Some worksheets etc. are not uploaded here but can be sourced through TES, or email me and I can send them to you. I would appreciate comments as I have yet to teach this. The powerpoint for the unit will be uploaded when completed.
These are posters you can use to make a WAGOLL (What a Good One Looks Like) display for lab reports. I got pupils to choose their best examples and put them on the board along with an explanantion about why they were good.
A cover sheet for pupil assessments for AF2. It includes space for teacher comments, a level and pupils write their own improvements. VERY useful. I modified a resource I found on TES named something like APP I can checklist but I cant find it now. Thank you to the person who did that and contact me if you see this.
Here is a homework booklet for the end of the topic. It includes recall questions as well as APP skills where pupils have to identify variables and make a result table.
This is a colouring and labelling activity where pupils have to label a life line which is to scale adding key vocabulary (childhood, adolescence, fertilisation etc.). It is differentiated into three different levels.
