50 demonstrations and experiments that have been used to make science engaging and memorable. There is a range of practical demonstrations and investigations for biology, chemistry and physics for different scientific topics for key stage 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Topics include chemical reactions, nuclear fission, nuclear decay, half-life, life cycle of the star, food and digestion, sound, waves, earth and its atmosphere, speed, velocity, acceleration, DNA, genetics, cells, momentum, energy, efficiency, combustion, respiration, inertia, change of state, forces, magnets, electricity, polymers, super cooling, pykrete, seed dispersal, moments, heat transfers, convection, terminal velocity, rate of reaction, rockets, pH, acids and alkalis and pressure.
Great plenary, starter or revision activity.
A student is given a card and has to describe the word without using any of the three words given or the actual word.
Students can then make their own versions too as great revision too.
A set of three planning cards that support students through the necessary steps to complete a successful investigation.
Steps include:
- Forming a hypothesis
- Research
- Method
- Variables - Independent, dependent and controls.
- Risk Assessment
- Conclusion
- Graphs
These can be printed on A1 sheets to make as a classroom display. They can also be printed as A3, laminated and then students can use post it notes to complete.
This is designed to familiarise students with the how science works terminology and format for laying out a clear practical.

A great task that can be used as an assessment tool for a starter, mini-plenary or revision task.
This works best when students have pre-made cards to select answer, voting kits or white boards. Students can also complete as a quiz in the back of their books.
Covers: ionic, covalent, ions, metals,
Two books, each with 50 engaging and memorable demonstrations/practicals - 100 in total!
These are designed to support existing teacher, NQTs, ITT, PGCE students and more in both primary and secondary schools.
These books supports the teaching of various topics/units including:
Speed, velocity, acceleration, forces, energy transformations, atomic structure, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, energy resources, states of matter, magnets, terminal velocity, volume, elements, periodic table, genetic, diseases, floating and sinking, pressure, chemical reactions, enzymes, cell division, combustion, momentum, smoking and much more….
Revision loop card activity for Additional Physics. Students need to cut out the cards and then sequence them so that the question on one card matches the answer on the next one. If the student get them correct, it will form a loop.
The answer sheet is also provided so that you can quickly check response and identify any mistakes made by the student(s).
A great activity to challenge students - who is quickest; to assess students and highlight misconceptions.
Loop cards include questions about:
Relative atomic mass, relative formula mass, percentage mass
This booklet supports a series of lesson and is designed for Entry Level/SEND students to allow them to access the key elements of science. If used in a mixed ability class, these booklets allow students to keep pace with the rest of the class whilst personalising the challenge and support they require.
The booklet is part of a series of booklets with a variety of tasks including matching keywords and definition, scaffolding, extended answers, research and a lot of practical work with matching results tables/graphs.
Some of the diagrams have had to be removed for copyright.

Scheme of work with lots of practical activities along with powerpoints to support in lesson.
Includes atomic structure, particle models, chromatography, distillation, forming compounds, metals, elements
These lessons have been created for the New Combined Science Trilogy course and are linked to the new AQA specification.
Each lesson varies in its content and are sold individually but they are also available as a complete BUNDLE (see bundles and SAVE).
Lessons include:
- Lesson Plan – a clear overview of the lesson, links to specification, three main objectives, keywords, resources, starters, 3 main activities and plenaries. Ideas are also included for differentiation for lower and more able students.
- PowerPoint – with lesson objectives and keywords on each slide.
- Additional resources – printable sheets for starters/plenaries/investigations.
- Support sheets – guidance for demonstrations and practical activities
All of these lessons will be continually updated and so please continue to revisit these resources for the most up to date resources.
If you have purchased the draft specification lessons, please email for the instructions on how to get your lessons updated to the new specification – orders@achieveinscience.com
