Bread and butter task sheets.
Each lessons students answer the questions as a starter or plenary to ensure that they continue to remind themselves about the core elements of each of the core units.
Topics include: limestone, atoms, periodic table, alkanes, alkenes, cracking, auxins, hormones, nerves, reflex, energy, energy resources, waves and much more.
3 different keyword and definition spinners.
These are printed out and then cut out. The windows on the top sheet are cut out to reveal the word and its definition below. These work best if the two sheets are secured with a pin.
This is great for keyword revision and for students working in groups testing each other.
These are available for biology, chemistry and physics units.
These ideally are printed and laminated and either used as a class quiz or several copies are made and students work in small groups.
This includes topics from the topic: diet, metabolic rate, nerves, hormones, genetics, menstrual cycle, carbon cycle and more

15 Homework Sheets.
Each sheet has three questions for students to complete. These are designed around Higher Order Thinking. They begin with identify and move to describe and finally an explain question.
These follow the AQA additional unit.
They are available for Biology, Chemistry and Physics units.
Additional Biology AQA - Digestion Keyword and definition bingo.
This contains a set of questions and a pack of pre-made cards. This can be used as a starter, plenary or revision activity.
This covers all of the key concepts in the unit. Other bingo games are available for the other units too.
3 GCSE Additional Biology Matching Triangles Games.
Includes an answer sheet and the triangles mixed up for students to cut out and arrange so that the keyword and definition are matched together.
Cover keywords from the whole of the Additional Unit.
Second book in series designed to support and inspire new and existing science teachers.
This book contains 50 ways, old and new, of capturing students and providing them with a memorable experience of science.
These books supports the teaching of various topics/units including:
Speed, velocity, acceleration, forces, energy transformations, atomic structure, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, energy resources, states of matter, magnets, terminal velocity, volume, elements, periodic table, genetic, diseases, floating and sinking, pressure, chemical reactions, enzymes, cell division, combustion, momentum, smoking and much more….
Some of the activities include:
Coloured exploding balloons, floating cans, student lift, spinning grapes, accelerometer, hand warmers, making DNA, spreading diseases, crumple zones, bed of nails, speed of kicking, solar ovens, walking on custard
A set of 5 different games of thoughts and crosses that can be used as a starter, plenary and/or revision task.
This works best when students work in pairs. The task is that the students have to compete to get three in a row. Which ever way they decide to try and get three in a row the questions include a range of difficulty - there is no easy pathway!
These sheets cover all of the main areas from the additional science unit. There are versions available for Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Students compete to get the lowest score. This can either be played as a full class or the cards can be printed out and students compete against each other in small groups.
This is the third book in the series with each book containing 50 demonstrations and investigations.
The book is designed to support science teachers new and old, including trainee (PGCE, ITT, NQTs) science teachers. It contains both old and new ideas that can help to engage and inspire students.
Investigations include: Bouncing egg, mouse traps, comets, bath bombs, exploding cans, kaleidoscope, testing double glazing, rockets and much more.

A full set of flash cards to aid revision. Question on one slide and then key responses on the following slide. These can be printed or saved on a phone to use.
All of the key topics are covered on the flash cards, including cells, specialised cells, photosynthesis, respiration, adaptations, glucose, limiting factors, enzymes, pH, distribution of organisms, digestive system, DNA, chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis, stem cells, genes, genetic crosses, genetic disorders and more.
Revision loop card activity for Additional Biology. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
digestion, digestive system, enzymes, denature, pH, lipase, bile,
A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation.
Steps include:
- Forming a hypothesis
- Research
- Method
- Variables - Independent, dependent and controls.
- Risk Assessment
- Conclusion
- Graphs
These can be printed on A1 sheets to make as a classroom display. They can also be printed as A3, laminated and then students can use post it notes to complete.
This is designed to familiarise students with the how science works terminology and format for laying out a clear practical.
