Use this for all your new classes. Use it over and over again during the first week of the new school year. Use it again next year. Use it no matter what subject you teach. This complete lesson will give you and the class you have never met before a positive, fun and very useful first lesson together.

Complete lesson, for the first time you meet any new class, including your tutor group. Use this lesson multiple times during your first week! Use it at the beginning of every year. Great for new teachers and experienced teachers. I have been using this very successfully for over a decade in a wide variety of schools (including two “tough” schools). It provides an interesting and highly structured introductory lesson and has ensured good behaviour - even in groups that other teachers consider to be badly behaved. Happy Teaching Barclayfox

FREE help sheet for teachers or students on energy stores, transfers, carriers, pathways and energy diagrams. This is specifically for the new GCSE 9-1 specification (which can be confusing). ENERGY - THE LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED: On tes there are many many energy lessons and resources teaching to the old spec. which are no longer applicable if taught today – which is a polite way of saying they are wrong. There are even some resources I’ve looked at that claim to be new spec. 9-1 – but they are wrong too, even BBC Bitesize is getting some aspects a bit confused. Please don’t risk teaching your classes incorrectly ! This resource is a FREE help sheet for science teachers which explains it all. This help sheet is clear and simple and free !
