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.
Bread and butter task sheets.
Each lessons students answer the questions as a starter or plenary to ensure that they continue to remind themselves about the core elements of each of the core units.
Topics include: limestone, atoms, periodic table, alkanes, alkenes, cracking, auxins, hormones, nerves, reflex, energy, energy resources, waves and much more.
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.

Core Science Prediction Papers - Higher - 2016 - Biology, Chemistry & Physics
AQA Prediction papers based on previous examination questions.
There are 50 mark per paper (1 hour).
Question based on past papers but re-written for the purpose of the exam.
They are designed to get students to revise the key topics that are more likely to appear in the 2016 exam.
Paper come with mark scheme and so can be set as a class task, homework or revision task.
Foundation tier also available.
Articulate game. Can be used as a starter, plenary or challenge/quiz game.
The student selects a card about the topic studied and has to describe the words using words, picture/diagrams or actions. More points are awarded for not using words or diagrams!!
Great for competition! A fun an interesting game that really engages the students!
Remember to have some rewards for the best action and winner!
Core Science (AQA B1, C1 & P1 Foundation) Prediction Examination Papers for 2016
Based upon previous examinations these papers are predictions of the main topics that will appear in the 2016 exams.
These are ideal for an additional assessment, revision task, homework task or class discussion.
The book is designed to support new and existing science teachers. It put together a number of old and new ways to inspire students and engage them in their learning. This is particularly useful for new and trainee science teachers as it gives ideas and guidance, all in one place.
This is a merge of the 3 book in the series of making science engaging and memorable through the use of investigations and demonstrations.
This book contains all 150 demonstrations and investigations from the 3 books that are also available separately.
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.

Biology, Chemistry, Physics
These papers consists of new questions that have been designed around previous examinations.
These assessments are produced after mapping questions from previous years.
This includes a mark scheme.
Great for revision and discussion.

Second book in series designed to support and inspire new and existing science teachers.
This book contains 50 ways, old and new, of capturing students and providing them with a memorable experience of science.
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….
Some of the activities include:
Coloured exploding balloons, floating cans, student lift, spinning grapes, accelerometer, hand warmers, making DNA, spreading diseases, crumple zones, bed of nails, speed of kicking, solar ovens, walking on custard
This is the third book in the series with each book containing 50 demonstrations and investigations.
The book is designed to support science teachers new and old, including trainee (PGCE, ITT, NQTs) science teachers. It contains both old and new ideas that can help to engage and inspire students.
Investigations include: Bouncing egg, mouse traps, comets, bath bombs, exploding cans, kaleidoscope, testing double glazing, rockets and much more.
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.
This extensive collection of lesson plans, starter activities and revision ideas from TES Author Pete Scutt cover a huge variety of topics across biology, chemistry and physics topics at secondary level.
