I went part time to spend more time with my toddler, the resources I make are designed to help you get some work-life balance and spend more time with your toddler/partner/cat.
Everything I make is designed to be ready to use, and make your life as easy as possible, while providing your students with the best chance to shine.
I aim to reduce your marking load, give your students immediate feedback and give you lessons that are ready to go, all you need to do is a tiny bit of photocopying.

In here there is… knowledge checklists for each topic in easy to understand language so you can check you haven’t missed anything out; links to YouTube video that explain part you don’t understand; quick-fire questions for each topic with links to a YouTube video working through the answers; lists of equations and units that are essential to learn for physics; lists of ions, equations and formula that are essential to learn for chemistry; key word lists and crosswords.

These are based on the OCR spec, I give these to my students before each topic, they include a before and after self-assessment to check progress. The text book pages for the Pearson AS book, and resources that can help students if the miss a lesson or don't understand.
More will be added once I write them!!
I have taken the spec, write learning objectives and sorted them in to lesson blocks. and then worked out the number of hours I think it would take to teach.
The ideal situation has worked out as a year 3 plan, taking out all the practicals and setting a lot of homework has worked out as a 2 year ("Oh ****, why didn't they tell us earlier") plan.

I make video of most of the demos and practicals that I do in class and post them on YouTube, to try and make these for useful for the teaching community, I've uploaded silent versions here so so you can embed them into your PowerPoint.
The clips are on YouTube, ad-free and noise free so you can add you own special magic touch without worrying about ads or disruptions. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7O6CcKg0HaH888fPYQ3w3hZudBSgV63m My YouTube channel has lots of videos to help students with GCSE and A-Level Chemistry and Physics
You cannot upload these to any public website, but can be used on VLE's for internal student use only.

-Convection
-distillation
-thermochromic properties of zinc oxide
-measuring rates of reaction by loss of mass (makes a great graph skills lesson)

In the full scheme of work for the new (teaching from 2016) exam spec. These are the resources I will be using in class so will be constantly updated and improved as they are taught. Any feedback is welcome!

Discount Bundles and Versions for AQA, Edexcel and OCR are available, and it’s clearly stated which bits are needed for combined or separate science.
This is designed so you have to do very little in preparation for the lessons. I hope you will enjoy the free time this gives you and your students will benefit from well thought out and detailed resources. Everything is clearly explained and all answers are provided so non-specialist can teach with confidence.
Student self-assessment sheets; I have used these successfully for years in lesson and OFSTED and SLT love them! They show clear progression for students, which can be easily seen by anyone who looks at the books. There are links to resources that students can use at home to improve their understanding if they do not feel confident in a topic.
Starter’s; these are designed to give cumulative learning, within a structured format. Each lesson (apart from the first) starts with five questions about content they have covered in previous lessons. This gives students a chance to review knowledge on a continuing basis (hopefully) leading to deeper learning.
Homework’s; most of these are on line, so you just have to set it for your class and it gets mark automatically. Otherwise there are investigations and activities that require very little marking from you, allowing you to enjoy your weekend.
End of topic tests; have been written to match (as close as I can) the style of the new exam papers. There are foundation and higher versions, each lasting 45 minutes with fully explained answers. The questions have been clearly and thoughtfully laid out to allow students to show off their knowledge to the best of their abilities,. The question ramp as you go through the paper and through the question and a number of maths and multiple choice questions have been included. Estimate grade boundaries have been included.
Worksheets; these have been made to accompany each part of the lesson; you can either use the slides or give out the scaffold to help students who need it.
PowerPoints; have embedded video clips, so you don’t have to find them, answers to all questions and engaging graphics. These have been designed with a clear/non-cluttered style to be friendly to students who have low level of literacy
