2-3 engaging lessons that make learning the periodic table more accessible. Ideal for low to middle ability groups. Students begin with finding the location of elements in the periodic table using the grid references (print 2 slides per sheet to keep costs low and have couple of examples of elements to hand - Zinc, Copper, Carbon, Aluminium). Students then learn about the structure of atoms and link this to the layout of the periodic table. Students finish by drawing atoms and consolidating learning through a game of Atom Trumps.

Cross curricular activity involving English persuasive writing, comprehension, scientific investigation and data analysis skills. Students will debate the use of plastic packaging. Both sides of the argument are presented and the teacher can decide if they choose. Ideal for cross curricular (also citizenship and fund raising) or even a one off cover lesson. Requires printing of colour data sheets (3 A4 per group). Supporting PowerPoint with prompts. Lesson plan. All proceeds will go towards The War on Plastic fund:

GCSE Maths revision PowerPoint activity (Core and foundation - some higher to stretch) may be teacher or self guided or even cover lesson. Most GSCE topics covered with example questions and answer reveal. Interactive format, dyslexia friendly screen / font. Students can recognise questions from pricture prompts.

Requires Microsoft PowerPoint. 150 Multiple choice questions from the new specification. If Macros are enabled when prompted at the start of the presentation, the powerpoint will mark itself and give feedback (topics of weakness and more specific question feedback). Could be used at the start and end of the year to measure progress. Students can print results on slide 52 and use the feedback for independent learning or homework. I hope this saves you lots of marking. I have included hard copies of the questions and answers in case the ICT lets you down or you want to use it for a cover lesson.

**Powerpoint online not supported **A Microsoft PowerPoint multiple choice style assessment covering the AQA Trilogy Physics topics 2018 /2019. The assessment identifies gaps in knowledge and topics of weakness. Self marking and automatic feedback (you must enable macros when prompted). I have included the Questions and answers in case you have technical problems or want them to do this in a cover lesson. Also printing function allowing students to name and print the feedback. See the whole set in a bundle here

A simple activity to model cloning and genetic engineering using Haribo starmix. Student instructions are included. May also wish to buy some flumps. Ensure lab is clean and advisable to wear gloves. I found the smaller Haribo starmix bags to be better as the students can handle these. Must check there are two eggs or have a supply of spare eggs. Get students to describe the process back to you as a plenary. Enjoy.

Students can use models to describe difficult concepts relating to electricity. Also covers circuit symbols and series and parallel circuits. Assessment opportunities throughout.

Transcription and Translation activity simplified for low to moderate ability or high ability starter activity. Turn a strand of DNA into a sequence of Amino Acids then translate these into a protein. Extension activity explores the effects of mutations and the beneficial or limiting effects of this. Students could explain what they have done for a plenary.
