All of my resources are priced at the minimum allowed by TES, they aren't trendy or earth shattering, they are a backbone to build the finesse onto, or, if it's period 7 on a Friday, you've got 300 reports still to write, a dozen UCAS references AND you need to set cover for a colleague who's sneezed twice and is off all week, they will serve well enough at an advanced FOFO level.

Developed for the IB DP but fine for post 16 (or even pre-IB as stretch and challenge)
A body of notes, questions etc that can be used for cover lesson work, with weblinks for "flipped learning"
Includes simple explanation of Vapour pressure etc (no Raoults law I'm afraid) and forms supplementary notes, includes questions.
If Ofsted are about- includes Learning objectives and assessment statements- an easy way to demonstrate you are at least ticking their boxes. Alternatively, it is really for supporting pupils with the more challenging topics.
Additional Notes and reflections from having run this lesson now through a complete cycle. Quite honestly I plan to put this into a bundle with other large video files, but I'm struggling with the upload of the slow-mo videos.
An activity that can be used as a Starter or Plenary.
It is best to look at this as part of the mega bundle.
I use it as flashcards/ matching pairs as a stretch and challenge exercise for my good sixth formers who have aspirations of studying medicine.
Editable.
I added to it to private tutor Year 1 medics and Upper sixth pupils considering Oxbridge.
A set of notes, exercises and videolinks to support the teaching of Kinetics.
This works well for students in remote working mode and as catch-up work.
I use the gap-fill exercises in Word or Markup on iPad, but they work just as well printed off and filled in by the student.
I use this as a data management tool to get the pupils taking responsibility for their applications.
I prefer pupils to fill in the columns in the table, so I just have to monitor the application via google docs.
Simple powerpoint that I use this as a template for parents days, staff inset and pupil assemblies.
All you need to do is add in the blanks...
It's designed to give an overview of the school set-up
Other resources available here- mainly science resources with some whole-school items.

This is a good Pre-IB pupil's lab report that I use as a marking exercise for staff and pupils as preparation for their IB DP work.
There are lots of examples out there of pupils' lab reports from primary data- but this one was conducted from secondary source data.
A good activity to give to pupils with marking criteria to check they understand the rubric for a lab report.
This is a piece that I wrote for the TES and that I issue to mentor tutors to help their tutees make choices about work experience.
It can be edited for your school, and even sent to parents.
Differentiated Resources for teaching Organic Chemistry.
Differentiated by ability and task.
Pupils use the cut out and match-up cards to construct a reaction pathway, from alkenes to carboxylic acids and back and flashcards to learn the functional groups.
I have colour coded this into three simple reaction pathways-see picture- you could amalgamate for stronger pupils (or get them to integrate) into one larger web, or provide blanks to expand on the stimulus material.
To make Flashcards- simply fold down the centre and stick.
For weaker candidates I give them colour coded versions.
Additionally, for the flashcards, weaker candidates get given the structures.
Stronger candidates can do this as a pair matching or sequencing activity which gives better retention in the long run.
Works fine as a starter, revision, plenary or activity.
This contains a little more information about the benefits of studying in Europe (principally cost) but also calibre of university via weblinks.
Obviously, Berxit is going to scupper a lot of these fee structures but it’s worth showing your pupils there is more than just English unis available.
It is editable and I use this as the framework for a letter to parents.
I have u
This is a simple resource of matching pairs.
Fine for revision- can be used as matching cards or as flashcards/ sequencing.
I use this type of activity as part of a standard repertoire for a starter or a plenary for fact-based learning.
It may not be trendy- but assimilating facts is pretty-much the cornerstone of chemistry learning, but pupils don't like it. This sort of activity makes it more entertaining, and with bigger classes you can do it as a race. I have small classes sources so I do it as a timed exercise over successive lessons.
Differentiated revision/ activity.
This is a simple reinforcement/ revision resource in which the pupils need to link the boxes to complete the definition.
I normally pair this with a second resource (attached) where the pupils then write the second part of the definition in a blank box.
Alternatively, slice the statements into individual parts and scatter across the desk- pupils need to reassemble -which, if you believe in gardner's multiple intelligences (which I don't), is good for kinaesthetic learners.
As it says on the tin- a checklist of things I would expect pupils to do before they go to an interview. Proper preparation and planning prevent pretty poor performance.
