A power point to tell a story of how natural selection occurs over time. Used for lower ability groups but equally as usable for higher groups. Also attached a work book for students to extend the concepts learnt in the story.

Foldable cube net for students to create a display of knowledge about the Periodic table and four elements of their choice. Four sides: each one about an element of their choice. One side: definition of an element One side: things I know about the periodic table. A lovely creative task where student add information, facts and pictures to create a 3D cube. The end results are fantastic and the learning along the way is fun and can be differentiated depending on students ability.

Three lessons around plants, pollination, germination based around a core scientific investigation comparing growth of cress in light and dark conditions. I created this to use as the first introductory lessons for YR7 SEN students so that I can quickly get an understanding of each students ability. My lessons need to be simple and clear with lots of hands on activities so much of the assessment is done via open questions during practical tasks. The resources included are lesson PPT with videos and brief lesson guidance, Higher (HA)and Lower(LA) ability investigation scaffold, colourful sequence and foldable worksheets, keywords list, levelled I can statements and teacher / TA open questions to extend students.

differentiated comic strip sequence to allow students to look at prescription and non prescription drugs and the illnesses associated with them. I use this with MLD classes.

Very simplified (missing chunks of history) card game of the history of the atom - played as happy families or go fish game. designed for SEN science classes but would be equally good for KS3 classes I am sure. Please leave a comment if you use so I know if it worked well or not.

I used this eye spy power point with a point sheet for non verbal students to engage students and lead in to conversation/teaching about sight as a sense and how the information is processed at super quick speeds

Linked to the spec for entry level AQA science skills for TDAs in child speak so that students can assess themselves and be aware of what they need to do improve their levels.

a set of guided questions that help students to fill in the planning sheet that I usually print out as an A3 sheet so that pictures and labels can be used for some students.

Remove the tiles one by one and students have to name the life stage. I use this with MLD students and support with the statements also attached. Think it work equally well for KS2 as well

Child speak APP summary for AF1-3 that I stick in the front of each of my MLD student science books so that they can be involved in their assessment. the practical bits I do using entry level spec which I have put on TES too.
