Instructions on how to use a marshmallow and a syringe to demonstrate the principle of Boyle's Law (p1V1 = p2V1)
Links to video instructions are on the sheet as well.
A set posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc)
Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview.
There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.
This guide will show you how to download the Vernier Graphical Analysis app for your (and your students') iPhone, iPad and Android tablets and phones.
It will also show you how to manually record data on the app, and how to share the data so that it can be processed in Excel.
Student activity to model the random nature of radioactive decay. Each group (2 to 3 students) will need a pack of skittles or m&ms.
Document includes student instructions, table template and graph template for students to record their data.
Step by step teacher instructions and guided worksheets on classic experiments in physics that are hard to get working the first time! Designed for new physics teachers or non specialist physics teachers.

A set of A4 size posters to explain some of the key words needed for science experiments. (Precision, accuracy, errors, variables etc)
Included is a PowerPoint version which can be added to and edited. A pdf version which you can print out with the fonts I've used. And also one of the slides as a preview.
There are 7 slides (posters) three with images. All images are creative commons, which can be reused for commercial purposes.
I made a powerpoint with easy to read font for all the possible command terms in science exams (SATs, GCSEs, AS/A Levels). However, I am certain these command terms are also applicable to many other non-science subjects.
There are 25 command terms with definitions, on A4 landscape pages. An example of one of the command terms is below:
State: Give a specific name, value or other brief answer. (No supporting argument or calculation is needed)
Included is the original powerpoint to add to/edit. As you may not have the font I used installed it will just show up in Arial. I've included a pdf copy as well which will have the font I used on it.
I picked the font, as normally these type of displays are written in comic sans to make them easy to read, but I detest that font! This font, named 'complete in him' is easy to read for dyslexic students (I have surveyed some of my students who are dyslexic, and I am also dyslexic)
