A very simple, visual worksheet summarising the terminology used to describe changes of state. Students are asked to fill in 'heated' or 'cooled' to describe what has happened to a material to make it change state. Works well as a summary note for KS2 or early KS3

Based on the KS3 Year 8 Human Heart topic, this resource guides students through the dissection of a pig's heart. I have also created a worksheet to recap heart external and internal structure that is included. I did this lesson about mid-way through our topic on the heart and it really helped students to grasp the theoretical content.

This is a great activity to aid students in thinking like paleobiologists. It involves investigating human history through looking at where Australopithecus sediba fits into the human family tree. Mark Scheme included. The task has two parts Part A: Investigating and comparing two biomes in terms of organism adaptations Part B: Constructing a Timeline of hominin history Investigating and designing a poster explaining the importance of Australopithecus sediba in human evolution (Online article resources included) Originally designed for a South African Grade 12 class but ca be used with any secondary phase, with the right assistance and scaffolding.

This is a Power Point explaining what an ecosystem is and examining the components of an ecosystem. I also developed a fun, formative assessment task for students to do following the lesson. It really got students thinking like ecologists and they had lots of fun! Developed for Y9 but can easily be adapted for older or younger students

Power Point about the properties of bone and why it is such a special material Activity involves students examing fractures, identifying the bones and suggesting plausible causes of bone fractures

Simple information/worksheet describing the characteristics and organisation of life. Used with my KS3 Year 7 group

This is full guide to Type 1 diabetes that the organisation I belong to (YWD) produced specially for teachers. Very useful if you have a diabetic in your class or just want to find out more! I also included a Power point presentation I put together a while ago about Type 1 diabetes (I am a type 1 diabetic and active in advocacy)

This is an end of year Environmental Management Assessment based on content from The Lithosphere and The Hydrosphere components of the course. Questions are based on past papers. I have also included a self assessment document for both topics- with space for students to rate themselves as red, amber or green for each 'I can' statement.

Task involves students choosing and providing a ‘client’ with a one week meal plan tailored to match their lifestyle. Task links to IGCSE Biology Topic 7.1: Diet. Students should use what they have learned about macro and micro nutrients and how these can be put together in different ratios in a dietary plan to support specific lifestyles

Power point explaining what an organic compound is and then detailing how carbohydrate is an example of an organic compound. Links to GCSE Biology Topic 4: Biological Molecules Formative assessment task and homework embedded in power point . Simple worksheet assessing knowledge of carbohydrates also included.

This is a collection of resources to guide students through a unit on Electrostatic Charge and Static Electricity (4-6 lessons) Topics covered: -Revision of contact and non contact Forces -What is electrical charge? -How is static electricity generated? -Lightning and thunder KS3 Science Curriculum Links: -9Pm1 Describe electrostatics and the concept of charge (Cambridge) -Topics on The Atom, Electrical Charge and Static Electricity (CAPS) There is one power point, 2 worksheets and a practical activity instruction page (Making salt and pepper dance) included . 3 formative assessment tasks are also included in the Power Point as well as links to interactive simulations and embedded videos. Worksheets included are VERY straightforward. They were designed to assess basic understanding of concepts and to ensure students did not have to spend much time writing during the lesson.

Simple, colourful worksheet summarising the types of Forces. Focus is then placed on Electrostatic Force

Assessment covering outcomes for Term 2 Natural Sciences a per CAPS curriculum Topics covered in the assessment are: A) Earth and its Processes B) Materials

Please note: If you would like to use this resource but cannot afford the price, please email me at shellyschutte20@gmail.com and I would be happy to send it to you for free. 5 week History Unit: Takes Secondary students through learning about the Movement of People throughout 1750-1901 and the major factors behind this movement (Industrial Revolution, Prison Colonies, Slavery) It is highly interactive and has a number of embedded videos, links to audio stories and written sources. Spread throughout the Unit are 9 tasks. Students must complete all 9 tasks (+ a final, creative project) and hand in as evidence of learning. Can be used for assessment purposes. Students can work through Power point independently, as a class or homework task throughout the term. My class really enjoyed it and learned a lot! 10/12/2021: I have updated the resource as some of the video links were no longer working.

Task was developed for my IGCSE Environmental Management Class. Students must imagine that they are farmers applying for a bank loan to purchase a piece of land - must justify why the piece of land is perfect for intended use based on geology and geomorphology of the landscape. Perfect for practical application of knowledge about the impact of soil on agriculture and how this can be manipulated. Cross curricular links with English and as students must use appropriate conventions for a formal letter. Students are also encouraged to include detailed plans/sketches of intended farm.

End of Unit Project on the first Biology topic of the IGCSE Courses: Variability of Living Organisms Students must investigate and compare two ecosystems in their local area and a produce a short, scientific report to relay their findings.

This resource was created to guide my Environmental Management GCSE students through completing their final coursework project. It includes: 1) Overview of project sections and expectations 2) Step by Step guide to completing the project 3) Marking criteria 4) A 'practise topic' to have a go at completing a project on a smaller scale.

I made these booklets to guide my KS3 Science class through revising for their upcoming Progress Tests. There is one booklet for each Year group with the objectives drawn from the Cambridge KS3 Science curriculum. I have tried to make the objectives as succinct as possible and phrased them in the form of 'I can' statements. The booklets contain links to videos, interactive websites and simulations. I teach a multi-graded class (Year 7,8 and 9) so found these booklets particularly useful in helping stronger students to revise independently while I worked more closely with weaker students. For each topic, students must complete 1-2 tasks then rate themselves for each objective as red, amber or green. I suggested they use this to help establish what they need to go back and study further.
