I have been teaching science for over 30 years. although Biology is my specialism I have lots of experience of teaching Physics and Chemistry to GCSE. I am particularly interested in practical work and believe that all science teachers should be able to teach good practicals and give practical demos.

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.

Christmas Quiz - Christmas Plants and Animals

(1)
A science Christmas quiz based around the plants and animals we associate with Christmas. Suitable for higher end KS2 and KS3 as an end of term activity. It looks at adaptations, classification and even science methodology so it reviews topics and has a bit of end of term Christmas fun.

The topics here are action potentials, synapses and COPD. These are worksheets designed so students can do some independent research either in class or for homework on some aspects of the biology part of unit 1. Could be used as revision tasks,
Practical investigation into balanced forces

Practical investigation into balanced forces

(0)
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.
Rusting. New method Practical and Results.

Rusting. New method Practical and Results.

(0)
This practical protocol is different to the usual set-up and gives results in 30 min. It is easy for students to do and the results are very clear. Written for AQA GCSE Chemistry, but suitable for other exam boards. Techs like it as it’s not so messy. This resource contains actual results for students to interpret as well as the protocol. The resource covers, corrosion, rusting and the chemical equation, methods to prevent rusting and why and how this happens. There is a power point, worksheet, teacher and technician notes. Enough material here for a full lesson and possibly a homework too depending on your class.
Revision Aid. Biology Puzzle Wall . Nervous system to DNA and genes.

Revision Aid. Biology Puzzle Wall . Nervous system to DNA and genes.

(0)
This is aimed at AQA GCSE Science and Biology Students as a review and revision tool. This resource revises the topics of the nervous system, homeostasis and DNA and genes. It emulates the “Only Connect” wall where students have to find connections between four items and find 4 groups of four in a grid of 16. In doing this they reveal their understanding of key terms and the associations between them. It is a more interesting way to revise and review knowledge and understanding. There are 6 walls presented in a power point and in word, with answers supplied. Can be used in class or for homework.

Revision Aid. Biology Puzzle Word Walls. Cells to Respiration

(0)
This resource based on AQA Trilogy, helps students review and consolidate their knowledge in an engaging way. Students usually like “puzzles” and I hope this may make revision more interesting. In this resource there are grids of sixteen words and phrases commonly found in a particular topic such as “digestion”, Topics are: Cells, Digestion, Blood and circulation, Plant tissues and transport, Disease, Disease prevention, Drugs, Photosynthesis and Respiration. Students have to find 4 groups of four words/phrases that are linked in some way. By doing so they show understanding of how the words/phrases are linked and the resource can be further developed by asking students to explain the links either verbally or in written form. The answers are given in the resource so students can check their work. The resource is given in power point and word. Individual word walls can be printed and given as homework. It can be differentiated by condensing some of the phrases to just words. The phrases and sentence starters in some of the walls make linking easier.

New practical to look at stomata. You will never use nail varnish again.

(2)
This resource tells you how your students can see some stunning pictures of stomata, without using that fiddly nail varnish! It also has questions which test the student's understanding of the function of stomata, scientific method and the link between decrease in stomatal density and global warming. Suitable for KS4 and possibly useful for KS5.
Inorganic Ions in Living Things (A Level Biology)

Inorganic Ions in Living Things (A Level Biology)

(0)
This is a full account of the importance and use of 4 inorganic ions found in living things - hydrogen, iron, phosphate and sodium. It is tailored to AQA A level Biology but would be useful for other exam boards. The power point has many diagrams and it also has 10 questions with answers for review and revision. Some questions are longer answer questions worth 4 marks that require students to connect areas of study together and are thus more challenging for the more able. The 10 questions are also supplied on a word document.
KS3 Science - Light. Fun demonstrations and resources

KS3 Science - Light. Fun demonstrations and resources

(1)
Want to put a bit more fun into teaching the light topic? These ideas are not "new" but are collected together here with some background information. This will be useful for those new to teaching or those not familiar with teaching Physics. There are 3 demonstrations, some background information on refraction and a homework idea. All illustrations are my own photos or I have permission to use them.
