This is a collection of separate pdf documents that help learners summarise information about the alkanes. Each of the different sheets allows for a different level of support and challenge - Sheet A is totally blank. - Sheets B and C have fewer sections to fill in. - Sheet D has all of the molecules drawn. - Sheets E involves some reading for information and only has a limited amount of information and could be good for the least able. - Sheet F, many of the answers can be deduced (at least approximately) and can be good for stretching the most able. It is intended that the activity be carried out as 'flipped learning' so that learners complete this activity before learning about the alkanes and/or fractional distillation.

These are a sequence of PowerPoint slideshows designed to support the retrieval of the composition of particles in the standard model. They can be used as an instant engagement task (rolling on screen as students enter the room for immediate engagement with learning). They can also be used as a retrieval quiz. The slideshows are essentially the same task (with rearranged slides) but get progressively more demanding as the changeover of slide gets faster (as the numbers on the titles of the slideshows in brackets increase). Start the students with (1) and then as they get faster, use the more demanding versions. This resource goes well with the particle flashcards also available on TES Resources at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-6341199

This activity contains a powerpoint with graded questions & answers and matching pupil activity sheets, designed to be used at the end of a lesson and/or the start of the next lesson to review previous learning. The questions are based on the previous OCR 21st Century Science Specification unit C2, although could be used with other exam boards. Clicking through the show reveals answers one a time. These reduce to A5 easily, the ideal size for most pupils. Please note grades are approximate.

This resource is a short powerpoint show and a pdf of the first slide. The idea is that learners read the URLs for a series of websites and decide whether they are trustworthy. They could put them into one of say three categories (e.g. High, Medium. Low).This is great for stimulating debate amongst learners, especially if the task is completed as a group. It is very effective when learners are asked to explain their reasoning. The powerpoint show can then be used to develop understanding further.

Key words: Universe, Galaxy, Solar system, Sun, planet, asteroid, constellation. This is a sort card activity and powerpoint show to support the task. It gets students thinking about objects in space. The powerpoint show comes in two forms, with or without the word constellation. The addition of the constellation card adds a real opportunity for cognitive conflict and helps iron out a preconception of what a constellation is.

A simple but effective activity to establish prior knowledge at the start looking at the topic of the Greenhouse effect. Learners can be encouraged to use scientific vocabulary and ideas. It is a great way of finding out how they think a greenhouse works before looking at the atmospheric effect. Works well when working in small groups (e.g. 3) on a large piece of paper. Really helps them to think when they are asked to justify their reasoning. Right-click then 'save as&' the web link to download the PowerPoint show.

These are a sequence of powerpoint shows designed as an instant engagement task (rolling on screen as learners enter the room for immediate engagement with learning). Learners write down the the SI units for the named quantity. More able learners could provide SI units in terms of fundamental base units. They are essentially the same task (with rearranged slides) but get progressively more demanding (as the changeover of slide gets faster) as the numbers in brackets increase. Start the students with (1) and then as they get faster, use the more demanding versions

Keywords: Image, quality, file size, download time, compression A series of activities that use a familiar image to get across the relationship between file size and image quality. It also supports learners to consider the effect of compression on image quality. It was intended to use the powerpoint show as a starter and follow it up with the file size worksheet, then the compression worksheet. Originally designed for unit P2 of 21st Century Science.

This activity aims to clarify thinking around the models of the atom that scientists use, and why we have more than one model. A slideshow that compares different models of the atom, the timeline of discovery and summarises the uses of each model. Key words: Model, Plum-pudding, Rutherford, Dalton, nuclear.
