This resource contains over 80 activities for GCSE Science coving areas of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Most of the activities are designed to help improve students literacy by having sections within them which force students to engage with a piece of key information then answer a a range of questions on it building in complexity.
Activities also contain a high level of duel coding, incorporating bespoke diagrams which are designed to help students to engage with the text in the activity. There are also a range of opportunities for students to identify and use key words.
Over the lock down and periods of home schooling these activities have proved to improve student progress and improve their literacy skills when engaging with Science.

I've included some photos of lab displays I've put up over the years, hopefully they will help anyone who's looking for a bit of inspiration. I'm also toying around with the idea of writing a book on classroom displays. If anyone can make any suggestions on what to include that would be useful I would be appreciative.

This is an activity which you can either use as a starter or as part of a revision lesson. Each pair of students will set up the sheets and then take it in turns to play battleships, answering questions on giant ionic bonding as they go. There is also an instruction slide included to help you explain to students what they need to be doing.
