This is a lesson that was taught to year 7 and has KS3 levels 4-6. The learning objectives slide promotes AFL and regular checking of progress in lesson - see my other resources for an explanation. I used a visualiser to demonstrate the flower dissection to the class using Lillies. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com.

This is a worksheet on applying the work done formula (work done = force x distance) with questions and answers. It uses formula triangles to make the content accessible for lower ability students. The final two questions are more challenging as students need to convert from kiloNewtons to Newtons. The conversion is given at the bottom of the sheet.

This is a revision lesson on the group 2 metals and group 7 halogens. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This Excel spreadsheet contains links to 48 fun and engaging science videos that are hosted on YouTube. These may be used for countdown timers, engaging starters or as instructional videos to accompany a main lesson activity. The spreadsheet can searched using a keyword for the topic that you are interested in. I have all of these downloaded to a hard drive (approximately 3GB of data) and am happy to make copies of these so please get in touch using my TES inbox.

This is an action packed lesson on polymerisation. The starter is a dingbat that is shown whilst students listen to music to help them. Part 1 is where students make ethene then link to make polythene using molymods. Part 2 is where students write down the formula of a polymer, write that on post its then stick it posters. Part 3 is where students design a cheese rolling suit using information about polymers. The plenary is a 6 mark question on their design that brings the lesson together. These are activities for a fun and potentially outstanding lesson. Please leave feedback.

This is a resource designed to help teachers track absence from lesson and promote follow up so that students catch up on missed work. Slides are printed as 6 slide handouts and then cut out and stuck in books.

This is an information sheet providing information on the bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle. See my other resources for an exam tips handout that students can use as guidance.

This is a series of information sheets on the 3 main species of bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle plus an overview of the cycle itself. Pupils may highlight keywords/ phrases and use this information to create a 6 mark exam question and mark scheme that another pupil answers. 1 mark should be for quality of writing.

Making conclusions - structuring a sentence using P.E.E. The first in a 3 part lesson sequence on making better conclusions. See my other resources.

This is a worksheet that encourages students to make their own classification for invertebrates with the beginning of a classification tree provided at the bottom of the page.

This is a set of 16 flashcards with questions and answers that are printed double sided. When printed this way the questions and answers align correctly. These have been designed for AQA C1.4 but would suit all exam boards. There are 8 challenging questions that will stretch the most able up to A grade. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is a glossary to help students revise ionic bonding and periodicity.

This is a tracker that I designed so that I can clearly see which students are not answering up in class so that I include them more during whole class AFL questions and answers. This is an A4 page with 3 tables that are cut out and stuck in the back of student books. I check them when marking books. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com

This is a detailed comprehension task that will push able students. The text on the discovery of insulin was taken from the Nobel Prize website. A brief glossary is provided. There are 4 levelled questions (Level 7 = A*).

This is a set of resources that are used in metals lessons at KS3 and GCSE. The metal trump cards cover 12 metals including 3 alloys. The superplastic alloy has been included to challenge students. Each card lists key information such as elemental symbols, properties and metal uses. They can be used in a variety of lessons such as when students need to design a car for the future (see my other resources). Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This covers naming of compounds (e.g. iron chloride) and some challenge questions such as where the heavier elements are made (supernova). Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is an AS Chemistry lesson on the group 2 metal compounds and their reactivity and solubility at grades C to A. For grade C students write symbol equations. Note that the hydroxides and sulphates show opposite trends in solubility. For grade B they consider the aluminium sulphate Camelford water poisoning in Cornwall and write ionic equations. Note that all ions are aqueous and that Barium chloride and aluminium sulphate are soluble compounds. For grade A they analyse different data and use this to explain trends in solubility of group 2 compounds. For an engaging starter you could show the reaction of potassium with water and ask students to predict how the reactivity of group 2 metals would be different (less owing to increased charge density and 2 ionisation energies to make the ion).

This is an instruction sheet for teachers and students on how to make a bioplastic using everyday lab resources. Silicone paper can be bought online. This sheet can be printed and laminated for the students. Photos and a lesson PowerPoint will be uploaded later. Please rate this resource and leave feedback.

This is an acids and alkalis revision crossword. This covers naming salts, H+, OH-, ammonium nitrate and neutralisation. There are 15 words.

This is a fun activity that be used as a lesson starter or for revision. Students replace element names with symbols to find the names of film characters (easier) or use the clues to work out the symbols (challenging). Please rate this resource and leave feedback.
