I have been a secondary school science teacher for 9 years and have just started using more resources that pupils can use in their interactive notebooks. I have found these are going down very well with pupils and they are using them throughout the year to revise and recap. All my resources are tried and tested and are up to date with the new curriculum at KS3 and KS4.

I use these with my year 7's to show progress and to plan for future lessons. At the start of the topic they do the test by just highlighting the answers they think, we quickly mark and make a note of what they get. At the end of the topic we do the test again to show how far they've come. It's really motivational for lower ability students as they might get lower marks but they usually always make progress which boosts confidence.
Laminate the posters, printed in colour double sided. These can be handed out to share. The pupils get the foldable - cut along the dotted lines and fold along the solid lines. They can then used the laminated sheets to write information under each flap of the foldable.
As a plenary pupils can do the crossword and/or word search for which there is a differentiated version and an answer sheet. A whole lesson on specialised cells sorted!
A worksheet for pupils to learn the steps of mitosis for the AQA biology new 2016 SOW. DOES NOT go through specific phases, just interphase, mitosis then cytokinesis.
