A series of lessons for KS3 students on magnets and electromagnets, made for low ability students but can be tweaked for all abilities.

Set of lessons that have covered the unit 8 digestive system assignment C. This was taught over double lessons (2hrs) with access to IT for lesson 2 so might need splitting up if you teach in single lessons. Lesson 1: Digestive system function and parts Lesson 2: Enzymes and what they break down Lesson 3: Absorption of nutrients and methods of absorption Lesson 4: Nutrient uses and deficiencies Lesson 5 (only 1 hour): Diseases that affect the digestive system and lead to deficiencies Lesson 6: Food tests Also included: Help sheet given to students with bullet pointed structure for assignment completion.

A worksheet that goes from low demand to high demand, fully differentiated to cover the power and energy equation P=E/t or E=Pt

A complete lesson that includes a card sort or cut and stick activity for students to compare advantages and disadvantages of the different 2D and 3D models of chemical structures. eleanorvickers has a worksheet that can be used in the lesson, however I have changed the 3D model to the models in the AQA specification so new version included.

Used for trilogy foundation students but would work for a quick revision of main ideas for triple students. Covers both the atmosphere unit and the using resources unit in chemistry.

A lesson I created for year 7’s but can be used throughout GCSE. The list of adaptations needs to be printed and cut out. There are two levels of demand for the list of adaptations - I printed these on 2 different colours of paper (pink and blue). The adaptations need to be placed around the room and students need to match them up to the polar bear, cactus, or camel.

An intervention lesson based around data in science questions that students have struggled with. Lasts an hour. Questions taken from AQA spec and printed as a booklet.

Can be used for KS3 or KS4 - really helped students understand moving the reactants and products on the axis. The cardsort needs to be cut out (I laminated a set of 15 that can be used again and again).

Includes the difference between series and parallel circuits and has an activity to match up the symbols with names and definitions. Can be used from high ability year 7s all the way to year 11 GCSE.

Rates of reaction

broadsheet including: fractional distillation, separating materials, chromatography and some quantitiative chemistry such as RFM.

A document to try and ease the issues with moving rooms with tutor groups or not having a tutor base to create a tutor board in due to COVID-19. The first page has links to each page in the document and can be edited for your own school (for example my school uses “RTP” for the weekly equipment check but your school may use another term). Each page has a link back to the main page so that more than one activity can be done in one tutor time. More pages can be added depending on school needs.

Sheets for GCSE Chemistry that have the specification in the order that we teach them. Orders from the original specification has been changed for easy of teaching and learning including moving some parts of the specification around, splitting up units and interleaving with other subjects such as physics.

Print out on a colour printer and you can make the pH scale like the display shown.

Help sheets to allow students to complete assignments with a bit more support. This unit is very individual but should allow all students to achieve distinction.

A resource that can be used from KS3 to KS4 to help with balancing equations. Scaffolded so that students work from low to high demand. Students often struggle with using symbols however find balancing legos/skittles/beads easy. A worksheet that steps up the demand from low to medium then to high. Can be used for all exam boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, iGCSE) as is common content and would suit combined or separate sciences.

A worksheet that moves from low demand to high demand that covers the kinetic energy equation, fully differentiated

A scaffolded worksheet that moves from low demand to high demand that covers the GPE equation fully differentiated

A set of lessons fully resourced for KS3 for the reproduction topic covering human and plant reproduction. Lesson 1: Female reproduction (ppt and w/s) Lesson 2: Male reproduction (ppt and w/s) Lesson 3: Puberty (ppt) Lesson 4: Fertilisation and conception (Ppt) Lesson 5: Contraception (ppt and w/s) (might not want to teach this depending on when in KS3 taught?) Lesson 5: Foetus development (ppt and w/s) Lesson 6: Pregnancy issues drugs, alcohol, smoking (ppt, fact find, w/s) Lesson 7: Plant reproduction (ppt and w/s) Lesson 8: Pollination and seed dispersal (ppt) Lesson 9: Design a flower and seed (adaptations)

A set of 8 lessons for mixed ability students with a load of practicals throughout. Lesson 1: Symbols Lesson 2: drawing circuits Lesson 3: Building circuits (Prac lesson) Lesson 4: Current and Voltage in series and parallel circuits Lesson 5: Prac lesson to demonstrate Lesson 6: V=IR Lesson 7: Static electricity (VDG Demo) Lesson 8: Static practical
