I am a TES recommended author and a UK Science teacher with a Chemistry specialism.
You'll find various KS3 and KS4 Science resources here (Biology, Physics and Chemistry) as well as some A level Chemistry stuff. I try to make my lessons visually appealing, with clear diagrams and text and a variety of different tasks.
If you have any suggestions of resources you'd like to see uploaded, I'd be happy to hear from you.

A colourful worksheet for year 7 or 8 pupils on drawing particle diagrams.
Includes tips on how to draw particle diagrams, avoiding some common misconceptions (eg. particles not touching in a liquid) and a 7 question worksheet to check understanding.
The worksheet is uploaded both as PowerPoint (editable) and PDF files (same worksheet).

Year 7 or 8 lesson on understanding how sound travels through materials.
LOs:
To recognise how the speed of sound changes in different substances.
To use the particle model to explain why sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
To use the particle model to explain why there are differences when sound travels through solids, liquids and gases.
Activities:
1. Do Now: Keyword match-up with definition
2. Student Activity: Fill in the gap sheet on how sound travels through different materials
3. Student Activity: Drawing a bar chart of the speed of sound through different materials
4. Mini-plenary: Drawing conclusions from the bar chart
5. Student Activity: Discussing the film poster tagline "In space no one can hear you scream" and adding scientific information
6. Independent Task: Drawing particle diagrams for solid, liquid and gas and using them to explain why sounds travels fastest through solids and slowest through gases
7. Plenary: 3,2,1
