I'm a primary school teacher, & ex-scientist, with 17 years experience. My passions are Maths and Science throughout the school. I spend a lot of time developing challenging and engaging, real-life resources. I co-founded My Science Club in 2021. The majority of my resources are free as I just enjoy the fact that other teachers might find them useful in their schools. If you do use them please leave a wee comment or rate them - all feedback is welcome as it helps me improve my own practice.

Meteorites, Asteroids & Comets

(6)
Two lessons to teach pupils about meteorites, asteroids and comets and the differences between them. It includes information about the Solar System as well as information about specific meteorites. These lessons were put together when we borrowed a set of meteorites from STFC as part of the Tim Peake Project in 2016 - most of the resource is adaptable for teaching the concept without the set of meteorites.

Problem Solving Sheets

(0)
A set of 18 problem solving sheets (4 problems on a sheet). Mixture of concepts - I've used with Primary 6 & 7 pupils who need to be pushed and challenged. Also a set of 5 easier sheets. The problems are mostly NOT mine - I've collected them from 100's of different sources of the last 9 years - often I adapt them from Third Level (KS3) or GCSE questions so they are suitable for older primary pupils

WhoCan...Fractions, Decimals & Percentages

An interactive resource to develop understanding of the relationship between fractions, decimals & percentages. Great way for pupils to learn from each other - I also use the activity to test the understanding of specific pupils on particular concepts.

This resource pack focuses of the force of buoyancy and includes a series of 4 lessons and all the resources needed to teach them. There are also additional activities that can be incorporated into the programme of study. Lesson 1 - a recap of forces, testing pupils prior knowledge and filling in any gaps with practical demonstrations and video clips Lesson 2 -introduction to buoyancy with 2 practical investigations for pupils Lesson 3 - an investigation into the buoyancy of drinks cans Lesson 4 - designing and testing a boat Some of the presentations contain links to videos on YouTube (they are not my property so I couldn't upload them here). If you can't get YouTube in your school consider ripping the videos onto your hard-drive to use, there are several pieces of software, or websites, where this can be done free of charge. Please feel free to adapt the resources as you see fit, they have all being uploaded in editable formats. If you find the resources useful please comment on TES and share them with other teachers.
