I am a chemistry teacher, I spend lots of time making resources and decided to share them here on TES. Most are free or have free sample versions, but the best and most detailed ones that I'm particular proud of I sell for around £2-£5.

These are question cards on diet and exercise this include questions on food types, nutrients, food tests, malnutrition and health.
These are made to go with the Science Revision Board Game I made which I use with KS3 and KS4 students to revise for their end of unit tests or exams. The board game and some sample question cards are freely available at
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/science-revision-board-game-free-version-11445205
If the game board isn’t quite how you’d like it, or if you want your own question cards you could download my ‘Make Your Own Revision Board Game Resource Pack’ which can be purchased at
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/make-your-own-revision-board-game-resource-pack-11445322
For the teacher, this is quick and easy revision activity that requires a one-time set up and then it can be used time and time again! Very little effort is required by you and the students can happily spend all lesson playing the game (if you let them) leaving you free to do what you fancy! My students love it and I get chance to sit down with the students who need extra help, or catch up on a bit of marking.
To get started:
• Print the board game on white A3 paper.
• Print the question cards on blue paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags.
• Print the hazard cards on yellow paper/card, cut them up and pop them in little bags.
• Laminate the board game (optional but makes the game last longer)
• Get a little stash of counters or items that could be used as the player pieces e.g. coloured paper circles, novelty rubbers, little model etc
• Get some dice.
For a class of 30 I’ve found that 6 groups of 5 work quite well, therefore you’d need 6 game boards and 6 packs of cards.
For each unit taught I’ve made my own quiz cards so the students can test themselves on the unit content, I have quite a few different units which I am in the processing of uploading to TES now. Keep your eyes peeled for the bundles I am putting together.
This is the full resource pack for an assessment for KS3/KS4 students who are studying forces, friction, scientific investigations, variables, data analysis, graph plotting.
This resource pack comes with several parts;
1. PowerPoint presentation to introduce the task and relevant background information.
2. Word document printout for the students to stick in their books.
3. Word document printout with a level ladder on so that the students work can be assessed, this has two columns so that the students can tick off the levels as they go and then the teacher can tick off the achieved tasks too.
4. Excel spreadsheet that can be used to automatically generate extended written feedback including improvement strategies for the teacher to give the students. This spreadsheet focuses specifically on the graph part of the assessment, the conclusion and evaluation section are included with a different resource pack.
