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.

This resource is for non-specialist physics teachers and new teachers as well as maybe more experienced ones who are looking for a different angle. It has historical background about Joule as well as questions (with answers) and practical activities. I have tried to make doing the calculations interesting by for example looking at the different kinetic energies of a tennis serve and a cyclist - which did intrigue my Year 10 group so I hope it works for you. The power point does the lesson for you - if you like this then use it as it is.

This is a great enzyme practical as it is colourful and works very well! The resource is ideal for new teachers or teachers for whom Biology is not their main subject. It provides a worksheet with instructions for the practical work, a power point with diagrams and background information and worksheets with questions and extension questions about the practical. Answers to the questions on the worksheet are provided in the power point. There are differentiation opportunities in this resource.

This resource enables students to make models and then evaluate them. It is an interesting way to teach/review this topic and the students get very engaged. The students evaluate each other's work and in this way review their knowledge twice over. You can use this resource to either teach this topic with the power point and worksheets provided and then review it which would take about 2 lessons or use this as a revision session which is one lesson. Many schools are using DIRT (dedicated, improvement, reflection time.) and this lesson(s) exemplify this.

This is an new part to the Science and Biology new GCSEs. I have successfully used it to help teach BTEC Applied Science, Unit 1 , B1 structure and function of cells and tissues, where students have to calculate the size of cells or parts of cells. It is also useful revision for AS and A level. These worksheets allow students to practice measuring real microscope images and then working out actual sizes and magnifications. Useful for classwork and/or homework. There are answer sheets which allow students to assess their own work.

Knowing how to make slides and how to use a microscope is essential information needed for the new GCSE Science/Biology. This resource has instructions and assessment criteria for a peer-assessed practical. Reduces marking time and allows students to practise this core practical in a directed way. Answers to the short written test are included. Clearly indicates areas for improvement to the students and to you. I have used this very successfully with several classes of varying abilities. Resource includes,: Practical instructions for the student. Assessment criteria. Lesson plan. Written test. Power point slide with pictures for guidance and answers to the written test.

This has back-up materials for the required practical (AQA GCSE) on measuring the rate of photosynthesis. Ideal for non-specialists in Biology and for newly qualified teachers. It contains tips on how to get good results and results of a practical in case your class does not get any data. There are differentiated worksheets which ask about rate of reaction - as this is a requirement now at GCSE.

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.

Here are two lessons of resources for the new science GCSE ( 2016) unit on Health and Disease. Written for the AQA scheme but will apply to other boards. Initially there are pictures to provoke thoughts about health and what health means.There is a differentiated literacy activity on different types of disease. It also contains a practical activity illustrating how diseases are communicated, which can be extended to allow students to analyse the data collected and develop mathematical skills. Finally there is some information and there are differentiated activities about the interactions between diseases. The resource contains a power point and accompanying lesson plan. There are instructions for the practical simulation and a worksheet about types of disease.

This is a set of questions to help students write up a practical investigation into Hooke's Law. With the new GCSE science students will get asked practical work questions in their exam. This worked very well with my middle set Year 9. I gave them the added incentive of awarding them BTEC -style grades Pass, Merit and Distinction for the amount/quality of work. It allowed them to work at their own pace.

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

This is a great way to teach respiration. Colourful and thought-provoking.

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 could be used as a starter for a lesson on adaptations or just as a general biology "thinking" starter. I will use it for my Year 12s who have just done stem and leaf structure. There are suggested questions and some background about the cabbage white caterpillars on the power point. Further details available at http://wilsonevescience.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/adaptations-caterpillars.html

This is a great way to get students to think about why things float. It has a simple but engaging practical with thought-provoking questions and differentiated activities. It connects particle theory with density and up-thrust. Plenty of opportunity for connecting key scientific ideas.

Data interpretation questions about rise in heart rate before and after a roller coaster ride.

A list of videos available on Youtube that describe how various power stations work. Suitable for GCSE students.

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.

This is a short power point with some 'real-life' data about temperature differences of some unusual objects. Also some images to stimulate discussion about infra-red radiation. It can be adapted to suit.
