Can be used as a summary sheet/homework/revision aid. Possible use as assessment task.

Meant for a lower ability group but could be adapted. Card sort and pictures for students to present as a poster / flow chart to tell the story of ozone depletion and the ban on CFCs. Powerpoint is to help introduce this - could be added to.

Could be used as a homework or a class activity . Assesses ability to analyse and apply infromation.

This is for a homework and/or an assessment of the student's understanding of the diffusion topic. There is a link to 'Practical Science teaching' Blog that has other activities/information about teaching science.

Used as a homework to revise key words for solids, liquids and gases and separation techniques.

This worksheet enables students to use key words to describe the structure of graphenes, fullerenes and nanotubesin Cloze passages and a question. It also covers uses of these structures. Suitable for Science GCSE students. Good for a summary, review lesson or homework.

Power point which explains how chlorophyll pigments can be separated using chromatography. This is a basic power point that can be improved with additional details of how to do the chromatography.

Worksheet with information and questions about the pH scale. Has extension question. Requires some prior knowledge as well as comprehension of the worksheet. Ideal as a homework. Just modified it to make it more accessible after my Year 7s completed it for homework. Good to see if they are reading the information properly!

Made for AQA Core Science. Uses of oil. Aim is for students to sort the cards, discuss and then answer an exam-style long answer question. Students then peer-marked their answers. There is a mark-scheme on the power point. The video link on the power point is from the BP education website and you have to log in to access it but it is free.

I did this for my Applied Science BTEC group to help them review their work on Trends in the Periodic Table. It would work for AS Chemistry too?

Made for Chemistry AQA GCSE 4.1 1.1 Atoms, elements and compounds as a homework/revision/ activity in class. Could be used at KS3.

Used with GCSE chemistry/physics when teaching about the structure of the atom. Hopefully the repetitive nature will help fix the patterns. Many students get a sense of achievement completing the sheet.

This was made for my Year 7 to help them review the new KS3 section on atoms, elements and compounds, prior to a test. Could be used as a homework activity.

Tests student's ability to recognise metal/non-metal properties. could be used for an assessment or homework.

This is a very successful investigation that encourages students to link observations with theory. Link to a webpage with a photo of one of the results the students obtained.

This is a great little investigation to illustrate the pH scale of colours shown by Universal indicator. It is fun for the students to make and this recipe gives good success.

This is for the new BTEC Applied Science Course. There are questions here about how to use a colourimeter and an evaluation criteria sheet for some peer-evaluation when the students actually use the colourimeters. This was useful as it focussed them and will also help them evaluate their progress for this part of the assignment.

This is an extensive resource. It contains activities and worksheets that are differentiated and have answer sheets so they are easy to mark in class and you can check the student's learning. There are numeracy and literacy tasks involved. One task goes over the relationship between size and surface area which is a key concept in science. The main activity involves independent research. The starter has an interesting example of an ancient use of nanotechnology which is surprising. There are references to videos to show about nanotechnology and other resources that can be used for extension/homework. This resource is suitable for GCSE students. It is especially matched to the new AQA Science scheme of work.

Resources for teaching this new part of KS3. It contains instructions for a demonstration and optional class practical with material for a whole lesson. The work is differentiated and aims to teach some practical skills as well as the concept. Contains differentiated worksheets, extension material and a power point.

Try a new distillation practical! This uses a different example of distillation to the ones usually used. It provides a comprehensive set of resources for a lesson on distillation. In the activity particle concepts are reviewed to explain mixtures and key words are applied in a description and explanation of how distillation works. It contains differentiated worksheets and a power point.
