This is a research task for students to introduce themselves with how earthquakes occur, the effects they have and ways to reduce or minimise eathquake damage.

These are my slides I’ve prepared for my lessons this term for Stage 4 (Year 7 and 8). I used Pearson Science 8 textbook as my reference material as well as youtube clips included in the slides.

This contains worksheets for Case One and Two based on the game http://forensics.rice.edu/. Students will be taken though basic forensic techniques using the familiar CSI characters to engage in their learning and understanding of forensics. I’ve used these resources in the past as extra work for my advanced students.

These worksheets are based on the second case on the forensics game located on http://forensics.rice.edu/. It contains a range of questions and activities that students will encounter in the game. It is of an intermediate level, and so I suggest completing the first case: Rookie Training before completing this one.

These are worksheets that I've created to go along with the first case in for the CSI experience (free online resource http://forensics.rice.edu/index.html) In this activity, students can explore forensic science by cases they get to experience online with the original CSI cast. Students will have to create an account on the website, and it is free. The answers has not been included, however, if this becomes a popular resource, I'll add it at some point.

This is a PowerPoint lesson that is a part of the unit Earth Resources for stage 4 (Year 7/8). This takes a look into the water cycle and different ways in which water is managed specifically in Australia. This follows the Australian Curriculum for Science.

This is a whole PowerPoint on Nuclear Radiation, which is a part of Chemical Reactions unit. This is an extensive resource on Nuclear Radiation with the types of radiation. It includes activities to assess learning.

This is a lesson covering Year 7/8 Science unit on Matter (physical and chemical properties). There are activities and experiments included in the slides that are taken from the textbook Person Science 7 textbook that is based on the Australian Curriculum. Worksheets that are referred to from the PowerPoint are also resourced from Pearson Science. They have not been included as they are not mine.

This resource was used for a student with a learning disability. This is great for students who are still learning how to read and write. The pictures are used for the student to identify the parts of the nervous system. The word has been spelled out clearly in large fonts to help clearly identify the part and create association between the word and the picture.

This is a resource I created for one of my science students with a learning disability. The student it was created for is still in the process of learning how to read and write, so this basically helps them to associate pictures with key works in the video. This activity can be used to introduce homeostasis and assess the learning of the student after watching the video.
