I am a TES recommended author and a UK Science teacher with a Chemistry specialism.
You'll find various KS3 and KS4 Science resources here (Biology, Physics and Chemistry) as well as some A level Chemistry stuff. I try to make my lessons visually appealing, with clear diagrams and text and a variety of different tasks.
If you have any suggestions of resources you'd like to see uploaded, I'd be happy to hear from you.

For a lower set year 8 class.
A highly scaffolded worksheet teaching students how to use the density formula to calculate densities of various solids.
A cloze exercise testing understanding of key concepts about density.
LOs:
To make predictions about whether an object will sink or float.
To define density and relate it to the particle model.
To use the equation to calculate the densities of different objects.
Aimed at a lower set year 8 class. A higher ability class will probably require more.
Density of solids and liquids PowerPoint. Includes heavily scaffolded worksheet on density calculations and a cloze exercise. Mini-plenary using mini-whiteboards or similar. Demonstration of density using water and a range of different objects.
