Practical resources to investigate if wing length makes a difference to the speed a parachute seed falls to the ground. Template gives 4x seeds - cut along the dotted line and fold one wing behind and one wing in front. These can be trimmed. Also attached is the investigation plan.

An activity looking at food chains and food webs

A retrieval roulette that is loosely based on the kerboodle book 2 year 8 scheme. Any feedback - @TJohns85 A Y8 retrieval roulette I have made using the template designed by Adam Boxer ‘@adamboxer1’

A starter to introduce adaptations

Documents for CPD I led on developing science in primary feeder schools and making stronger science links between primary and secondary contact me on twitter if you have any questions @ TJohns85

A presentation that explains some of the adaptations of the common species that could be found in your school or local stream and how they are used as pollution indictors. This includes a worksheet that can be used during stream fieldwork.

A presentation that goes through some common UK woodland flowers that may also be found on your school field and grounds. resource also comes with a worksheet that students can use to investigate these flowers on their own

A presentation that has some interesting facts of the mini beasts of your school grounds. A worksheet is also included that students can use to jot down notes, go outside, find the critters and draw and annotate them. A chance to get students in the great outdoors.

A presentation that explores some of the most common trees that could be found in your school grounds. Discover their shape, leaves, flowers and seeds. Students can then explore their school grounds and collect leaves from the trees and stick an example on the worksheet. For stretch and challenge learners could create an Identification key which can be used to ID the tree in the future.

Students can colour and create an interactive resource that they can stick in exercise books. The flaps lift up to show the effects of either physical, chemical or biological weathering. Students can then describe the process under the flap. Also including is a worksheet to assess knowledge and a teacher guide which contains photos of the finished products.

Teaching quadrants and ecological sampling? Too wet? no school field? PE say no to going out? left ecology to the winter? then fear not with this interactive notebook resource to fit in with the required practical ecological sampling and GCSE, A-level courses. Students can create their very own field to stick in the book with added tape measure and quadrat that moves horizontally and vertically in all directions. It can also act as a transect line 3 templates are included to fully differentiate the resource (one blank for students to draw their own flowers, one with lots of flowers and one with few) A table with key to record the results a lesson plan teacher help sheet GCSE questions for foundation learners and answers GCSE questions to stretch and challenge higher tier learners and answers

A knowledge organiser for Y7 variables and planning an investigation

A plan using the idea of teachertoolkit that science teachers can use to help plan science practicals and investigations. This could be especially useful for new science teachers
