This is a 2 part lesson sequence for B1 biology where in lesson 1 students research what diabetes and hypothermia are. They they then create a PowerPoint presentation to explain what homeostasis is and what causes these 2 diseases. In lesson 2 they complete their presentations plus present to the class. Presentations are assessed using a 10 point guide that assesses presentation skill and scientific understanding. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

I have created a laminated chemicals, elements and compounds cardsort that is colour coded and kept in A4 plastic wallets. Red = acid, blue = alkali / CO2 / water, grey = metals, non-metals = elemental colours where possible. I make 6 lots of these so that I have one set per table. They can be used to: (1) make word equations (and by extension symbol equations), (2) sort metals from non-metals, (3) sort acids from bases (4) sort elemental metals from alloys. Many other uses also. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

These are A4 moved classroom labels that I laminate and keep on the back of my door. Then when the class moved from a lab to an ICT room or the library we put this on the front of the door so that staff or students know where the class has moved to.

Debating and critical thinking skills are an absolutely essential component of scientific thinking. I have provided a range of resources to promote debating skills: a lesson plan where students consider the disadvantages of cars and create their own solutions, debating strategies ideas and student instructions that can easily be adopted into a wide variety of lessons across different subjects. Feedback to my TES inbox please. Thank you.

Templates are provided that can be readily modified. One template is a GCSE revision template where students are guided to create their own exam questions and peer edit answers. The second template is useful for writing Blooms-leveled answers at Key Stage 3 and includes a wordbank. The third is an AS Chemistry exam question with keyword glossary. All templates include written instructions for students. Peer editing is great when combined with AFL strategies before and after the activity.

This is a set of labels to printed as 6 slide handouts and stuck in student books either when homework is handed out or when it is handed in. It serves a similar purpose to the missing labels (see my other resources) in that it allows teachers to easily track missing homework and check which students regularly miss handing in homework.

This is a lesson plan that has been designed and taught to year 8 students. It is taught early in the rock cycle scheme of work and uses salol. Glass rods are dipped in the salol and drops are put on warm, room temperature and cooled (in freezer) glass slides. Crystal size is measured and compared. This model is used to make anologies with rock cooling in the real world. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

This is a lesson plan for an ICT research skills lesson on the history of the cell. 2 timelines are given - one easy and one that is more challenging. Students present their research at the end of the lesson. Alternatively they could present their findings in a second lesson. The presentation skills lesson (see my other resources) could be modified and incorporated into this lesson to structure the presentation. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

This is a levelled checklist for graph skills that year 7 and 8 students should be able to do. I use this the second time that I teach year 7 graph skills. It helps promote inclusion. Higher ability pupils should be able to complete all of the checklist to a very high level of ability. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

I have created an achievement wall that shows student work that has been peer assessed as well as marked by the teacher. Photos of my 2 displays are provided. These displays are changed relatively quickly once a half term or so. See my other resources for an activity that promotes peer and teacher assessment. These display letters are printed on A4 paper then cut and laminated. They are coloured according to levels - blue = 3, turqouise = 4, green = 5, orange = 6, red = 7, pink = high level 7 or 8. Please give feedback to my TES inbox.

This is one in a series of AFL strategies that I have put together. A photo is provided to show the equipment that I use. It works really well with clear Blooms-leveleld objectives and the number line (see my other resources). I have been using a question ball for some time now and here have tried to develop a variety of there kinaesthetic activities that can be used during question sessions. P.E. teachers within my school have made some excellent suggestions. I will be implementing these in the new year 2013. Feedback to my TES inbox please.

This is a visually engaging and fun method for students to self assess their progress at the end of a class. If more than 1 web is used students could assess their progress at the start, during and end of a task as part of assessment for learning. Slides are printed as 6 slide handouts.

This is a lesson that was taught to year 7 where we looked at the tissues that make up an organ. A carousel-style practical was set up where there were different plastic organ models around the room and students had to identify the tissues in each organ. The organ system triangles can be printed for students to use. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com or contact me directly on TES.

This is a lesson that was designed for and taught to year 7. It can be extended to 2 lessons by getting students to collect data in the first lesson and check the validity of their predictions in the 2nd lesson. Some of the slides can printed as 6 or 2 slide handouts to serve as worksheets or writing frames (e.g. learning objectives, table). Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com.

This is a student handout on viscosity that be printed as a 6 slide handout. The last slide has the answers on it in red. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com

This is an adapted learning objectives slide that I created for a class as a printed homework slide (6 slides per page) on organ transplants. It is levelled in a similar though more concise way to Badger level assessed tasks. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com.

This is a tracker that I designed so that I can clearly see which students are not answering up in class so that I include them more during whole class AFL questions and answers. This is an A4 page with 3 tables that are cut out and stuck in the back of student books. I check them when marking books. Feedback to rowan.savage@hotmail.com
