This is the perfect topic to end the year on. It is fun and the students don't even realise there is a serious aspect to it: healthy eating, analysing food etc. You can adjust the depth and type of learning outcomes depending on the age group (eg. if it is an older group I always include a section on microbiology and we swab surfaces and check for cleanliness, learn about how factories manage food safety etc). This topic encourages student-led learning and there is considerable enthusiasm in the classroom. You do not need to have an ice cream machine, although I did and there is often someone in the class who does have one). I have written up a rough guide on how the 1-2 weeks would go but I found that the students really enjoyed their own research and in some years this took longer than I originally had planned for. This resource includes: notes for teacher, a base ice cream recipe, ice cream in a bag activity, taste testing template, energy calculation activity and some other ideas (eg poster design). It is a lot of fun and will save you that painful end of year "now what do we do"?

Thank you to all those who have bought this resource. Please leave feedback as it helps me better align the material to student needs. This resource bundle (85) combines material from multiple resources focused on Science for Chinese students learning English as a second language. The purpose of the bundle is to provide material for teachers who have native Chinese speakers in their class. The students are regularly put into other subjects (eg Science) as part of the experience yet often with limited material that targets both language and content knowledge. This material has been trialed on 20 students over 12 months and refined over the year. This bundle includes material in biology, physics, chemistry and astronomy. Specifically, * A list of translated general science question phrases typically asked in worksheets and exams * A list of useful describing words when filling out worksheets and exams * Chemistry: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), works sheets covering periodic tale, electron configuration, acid/base, PT trends, fun worders, cross word puzzles, cloze-style activities, short answer questions, True/False activities, 15-20 minute tests, PT, who am I activities and a metal-non metal practical activity. * Biology: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), anatomy diagrams for labeling, plants/flower diagrams for labeling, short answer questions, ecology x-wrds, poster activity, classification activity. * Physics: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), light and sound x-word, graph w/s, calculation w/s, forces w/s, pressure w/s and power w/s, mechanics w/s * Astronomy: translated list of words (fill in Chinese or English versions), short answer questions, word finder. Admittedly, there is slightly more chemistry resources than physics. The students told me that chemistry and biology (and the associated terms) were their biggest issue. Please leave me feedback to let me know what and how I can improve the bundle or tell me of material you are searching for.

This resource consists of 5 pages of terms and expressions in Chinese and English that relate to the human body. Separate version require filling in the Chinese or the English word. Additional resources (and answers) specific to the heart, lungs, digestion, the hormone system such as as cross word puzzles, cloze style activities, diagram labeling are also given. Although these resources have been checked by a native Chinese speaker mistakes do happen. Please get back to me if you find an error. The feedback from my international class has been positive and these notes help the students.

This resource consists of 2 worksheets consisting of lists of key genetics words in which the student has to add the correct term -in English or Chinese. A worksheet where the student chooses the correct word to complete the sentence (5 min starter) There is also a 2-page worksheet (and answers) that asks the students to fill out some punnet squares and carry out simple calculations (these are written in English).

This resource consists of 7 worksheets made largely of diagrams that require labeling (heart, lungs, endocrine, digestive and the eye), some questions that require short answers and a cross word. This is that resource you struggle to find: some diagrams that can be labelled and then some questions to follow. This resource would suit a range of students depending on the national curricula (eg. IGCSE).

This resource consists of * 2 worksheets with 3 pages of science terms we use to discuss and describe aspects of ecology. The student is asked to either fill in the correct English word or Chinese word when the opposite word is given. * A crossword (and answers) that uses some of the English words in the above worksheets * A worksheet in English with missing words that the student must fill in (answers are provided). My students tell me they enjoy using these resources because they can use them as references afterwards rather than gluing in their book and forgetting about them. The students also enjoy drawing pictures to help them learn these words. If you find any mistakes please contact me. The Chinese words have been checked by a native speaker though he is does not have a science background.

This resource consists of 8 worksheets (and answers) that focus on the key words that are used when describing plants: cells, leaves and flowers. There are two versions of each resource requiring either a Chinese word or an English word (usually 1-2 pages of words). There are also resources that require the student to label the diagram using English words. The feedback from the classroom has been very positive and the resources are being reviewed for use in other schools. If there are specific topics you would like please tell me as a number of other resources are currently under development and review.

This bundle of resources is suitable for students studying Ecology (age 13-15 years old). It covers terms such as food chains, food webs, habitat, niche, symbiosis, trophic levels, predator- prey relationships, scavenger, parasites, producer and decomposer. The resources included are: * A two page checklist of all the learning objectives * Activity 1: a 10 min. exercise to match terms and words * Ws1 and ws2 require students to draw food chains or webs and answer some questions (double sided). There are also some cloze activities included in ws2. * The "food webs" resource can be laminated and used as a class set or the students can cut the arrows and animals out and produce a food web. * The "ecology poster" is a handout (3 per page) given to students who then develop a targeted poster * A crossword puzzle (and answers).

This resource consists of two activities. The first requires the students to cut and match the 5 Kingdoms, the definition and a picture (answers are given in the other document). The 2nd activity gets the students to cut out some descriptors and organisms and group them into different phyla.

This resource includes a colour-coded power point pack (51 slides): the first half focuses on inheritance and how information is ultimately coded into proteins. The 2nd half covers sexual vs asexual reproduction, genetic variation, mono-hybrid inheritance, punnett squares, pedigree charts and natural selection. The slides are kept simple and are not cluttered with lots of words. The user can delete slides not required for their specific course. My students tell me the slides are easy to annotate and are very good for exam preparation. A set of learning objectives (SLOs) is given as well as three 2-page problem sheets that focused mainly on punnett squares and pedigree charts (answers provided). Two of the problem sheets can be bought separately from this shop ("Biology: punnet square problems and interpretation of pedigree charts"). Thank you to everyone who has bought this resource over the past year. If you have a spare 2 minutes could you please leave some feedback? This will help me refine or add to what I have published.

This resource has 4 related activities and a short 2-page exam (20-30 minutes long). There is a template microscope that can be labelled; a fun-worder on microscopes and plant cells; a handout for the students to use regarding sample slide preparation (2 pages) and a cross word puzzle. The 3-slide power point tries to show relative size by comparing images of viruses, sand, sugar, bacteria etc A stand-alone microscope slide template is also included should a teacher need to use different labels or use it in an exam. Thank you to everyone who has bought this resource. If you have some time could you please take the time to leave feedback. It is the only way I know whether it hits the mark or not.

This resource contains two double sided problem sheets (and answers). The first is a series of punnet square focused problems and the 2nd asks students to interpret and answer questions from two pedigree charts. Both also contain some short answer questions. It will suit students who have not studied Genetics before. Key words: homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, punnet squares, zygote, chromosomes, pedigree charts. Thank you to everyone that bought this resource. If you get a spare 2 minutes could you leave some feedback? It is the only way I will know whether it meets your needs or what I might need to do to develop it further. My students want me to make up some more similar-styled worksheets, which I will load in the near future.
