Science has been and always will be a passion of mine. As a successful science teacher and faculty leader it is my duty to make science accessible and fun for all, increasing prosperity and success within the science industry at a time where we need it most. These resources are aimed at changing the standard pedagogical approach to teaching and put a new modern touch to delivering science lessons through eye catching yet relevant imagery and questioning to allow independent exploration.

Combined Biology (CB1-CB9) Revision Booklets

(3)
These booklets are a great tool for any teacher wanting to revise in class for an assessment or to use as homework. Students are required to RAG their confidence against the specification points to start with in order to highlight their strengths and areas for development. The following pages contain a sumamrised version of the content alongside diagrams and images. Students can use this to hightlight key information and visit the areas they highlighted as a weakness. The is followed by a series of questions that students are required to answer using their sumamry pages. A blank page is proivided for students to make notes on the area of weakness as well as a page whereby they can write down concepts and knowledge that is not sticking. The booklet ends on a selectrion of exam style questions that students can answer and self-assess themselves on. Mark schemes are provided.

KS3 Science Stretch & Challenge Booklet

(2)
Welcome to the KS3 science stretch and challenge activity booklet. I have created this to challenge students knowledge and to develop a deeper, more critical understanding of the world around them. The activities inside will get students looking at content (based around Exploring Science but applicable to most curriculum) from a range of different perspectives, force them to think outside of the box as well as getting them to explore new, more difficult KS3 and GCSE content. Contents include: • Scenarios • Word Scramble • Retrieval Roulette • Scientific Literature • Odd One Out • Key Word Scrabble • Thunks • Six Degrees of Separation • What’s the question? • Science & Engineering Challenges • Be Inquisitive • Guess Who? • Dingbats • Code Breaking • Spot the Mistake • What Happens Next? • A-Z Key Words • Code Breaking • Its Not Rocket Science I use this booklet to stretch and challenge the top 50 KS3 students in a project called ‘Science Academy’ which has been hugely successful in preparing students for KS4 as well as improving their academic achievement in KS3 Science. Enjoy.
