I am currently a Lecturer in Engineering Design at a University, prior to this I worked in secondary schools as a specialist physics teacher. My experience from working at these levels of education has emphasised the need to ensure fundamentals in science are mastered by students for continued success in education & beyond. My resources aim to clearly communicate complex scientific principles through clear visuals and explanations - with well structured tasks to practice what has been learnt.

A 5 MINUTE SEATING PLANNER in excel which also displays the pupil data.
Watch demo on youtube to see planner and how to use:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e4HN80mdbg
You are able to import data from another excel spreadsheet to use as data to include in your seating plan.
Coloured cells are automatically populated with pupil names and the data which you wish to display.
The coloured cells can be moved to create the plan of the room and therefore the seating plan.
Data fields can be filtered help produce seating plans based input variables (for example, filtered by target grade).
Cells used a colour scale which can be set to the data you wish to use, for example above, at or below class average grade.
This creates a teacher seating plan (data) view and a class (just names) seating plan view .
