Students are paired and receive either the amoeba or euglena information sheet, then ask eachother questions to fill in their sheet.

Gap fill/cloze activity on breathing/ventilation/inhaling and exhaling/gas exchange, with a comparison of inhaled and exhaled air.

Information booklet which gives students guidance on how to: Draw even scales Draw lines/curves of best fit Describe & explain a trend (including identifying strong/weak/positive/negative correlations) Plot range bars Interpolate/extrapolate Calculate gradient Write a linear equation I have these out on the tables every time students are drawing a graph to serve as a ‘self-help’ guide in the first instance. Used with Y7 up to Y11.

Used with low ability y8 class.

Calculations worksheet used for AQA Trilogy Energy Changes unit - calculating bond energies. Please note there is no answer sheet included.

Used with low ability Y7.

Filtration card sort used with KS3.

Storyboard for students to draw and annotate diagrams showing the process of immune response - role of phagocytes/macrophages and B cells.

Students arrange the models of the atom into a timeline and add the statements that describe each model. They can then use this as a scaffold to demonstrate their learning, e.g. by recreating the timeline in their book or writing ‘The Story of the Model of the Atom’. Or they can stick it straight in their books if they have 1 copy each - I laminated because a) I wanted to use the resource again, and b) I wanted my low ability group to draw the timeline themselves to embed the knowledge). Used with a low-ability Y10 group for both atomic structure and radioactivity topics to help them visualise the development of the atom - I played this video to help them (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4Us5PTb4J8), could also be used with the information sheets or as a revision activity. Stretch: blue boxes contain either an evaluation fo the model or information on how it was developed (e.g. cathode ray tube, alpha scattering experiment). These could be omitted and students asked to write this information on post-it notes instead. I have tried to organise the boxes in a way that minimise the time taken to cut out.

These work like dominoes - students match the keyword with its correct definition, creating a loop. Covers pure and impure substances, separating mixtures and solubility.

Students sort the 4 steps (white) of a paper chromatography method into the correct order, and match them with 4 explanations (blue) for why things are done this way.

A card sort about diamond, graphite, graphene and fullerenes. One slide is scrambled, the other unscrambled to be used as either an answer sheet or an information source.

Revision summary sheet for the sound. One version contains closed questions (e.g. circle the correct answer, cloze activity), and the other has more open questions. There is an answer sheet for the more structured version students to check their work.

Summary sheet for revision of waves topic light section, covering reflection, refraction and dispersion. Used with a mixed-ability Y8 but could work with most years.

Covers pathogens, barriers to pathogens, preventing the spread of infection, cardiovascular disease and treatment, antibiotics and various examples of communicable diseases. Designed for B2 of OCR 21st Century Science, but could easily be used with other specifications.

Revision summary sheet covering particle model (states of matter), changes of state and heating/cooling curves.

Worksheet questions on calculating efficiency of an appliance. Questions are graded and increase in difficulty (no rearranging/converting, converting units, rearranging equations and converting units, 2-step processes). An answer sheet is included for self-marking/correction. Used with mid-ability Y10 for P2 - Sustainable Energy on OCR 21st Century, but works with most specifications. Some questions at the end combine the power equation with the efficiency equation.

Table used with Y10 to research renewable/non-renewable energy resources and their advantages/disadvantages.

Summary sheet created for the end of a Y7 unit on Cells, but could work as a refresher for up to GCSE level. Students could complete this from memory, using laptops/textbooks, or as a homework task. Differentiated with 1 more structured/scaffolded sheet and 1 more open-ended. Also includes a slide with suggested answers for students to self-mark and correct.

Activity used with Y7 class for a lesson on the menstrual cycle - I used this with the information sheets as an information hunt acitivity, but could work with laptops, a video or as a cover work activity with textbooks. Challenge questions to print on the back, differentiated gap-fill version included.
