Lesson I used with a top set year 9 class, would work just as well with GCSE. Enjoy :)

Lesson for a top set year 9 group, can easily be adapted for higher or lower ability! Includes, progress checks and teach your partner section. For set 1 I gave them blank pieces of card for the progress check but have included progress check cards with keywords on that just need to be put in order which I've used with a lower ability group. Enjoy :)

This is a lesson for a low-ability year 8 set so might need adaptation for other abilities. Loads of different activities- some adapted from other TES resources so thanks :) The table to fill in has got a SEN/easier version below it too. Enjoy :)

This is the first lesson I used in an electricity topic for a mixed ability year 7 set :)! Hope it's useful!

Lesson for AQA Chemistry C2.2. Was a recap lesson on alloys and metallic bonding but worked well :) enjoy!

A snakes and ladders board, for pupils to fill in with questions. Each stage emphasizes a different aspect of blooms, the easiest/ first row being recall, reaching suggest an evaluate questions at the top. I used it as a revision activity for a GCSE Class and it worked really well :)

I used this with a mixed ability year 7 class! Sheets included are one slightly easier that I gave to my weaker students. It also includes the picture I got pupils to annotate to consider what causes light to be blocked out. They loved colouring in the grapes and I had a lot of positive feedback! Give it a try :)!!

Lesson on the two methods used to produce ethanol. I got the students to make their own ethanol and I distilled it in a later lesson. Has a nice debate at the end too, as to which method they think would be the best for BP to use if they started using biofuels! Enjoy :)

Lesson on transition metals for AQA Spec, but can easily be adapted! A bid to make this topic slightly more exciting :) Enjoy!

I got pupils into groups and got them to model lungs using straws, cocktail sticks and raisins. The fastest group to create the most accurate model! It worked really well! When explaining gas exchange in our bodies I got pupils to volunteer and gave them signs saying 'lungs&', &';heart', &'red blood cell&';, 'oxygen&' etc. and got them to act it out as I explained it! Hope you enjoy teaching it- I did :)!

Here are some G&T questions I made up to challenge my more able students! I stuck them on A5 playing cards in difficulty order e.g. 2-5 easy (Aimed more at Year7) 6-9 Medium (Aimed at year 8) and 10-ace hard (Aimed at year 9). They include some 'How Science Works&' questions and also some general extension tasks. Enjoy- my classes love them!

In this lesson I gave pupils an A3 sheet as they came in and got them to work on that for the whole lesson. The powerpoint includes a worksheet with questions differentiated by coloured outcome. I told pupils that they had to attempt certain questions dependent on their target grade, which is fab for differentiation! It's focused very much on independent learning and I projected the &'Keyword&'; powerpoint as they were doing the worksheet. I also included the demo using tights, swiss roll and coke to talk through the digestive system at the beginning! Happy teaching :)

This was a fab, jam-packed lesson! At the start I got pupils jogging on the spot to music to look at the difference in pulse rate before and after exercise. In the middle there is also an opportunity for pupils to practice the '6 mark questions&'. Take a look and leave some feedback!

First lesson on the respiration topic of the AQA syllabus. It worked really well and I did the combustion of icing sugar as a demo at the beginning of the lesson and also got the pupils up to breathe down straws into lime water!

Horse meat is the hot topic at the moment, so I used this for half of one of my lessons to discuss how Science is linked with this scandal! Students got a character card and had to take on that role and their opinion as to whether all meat should be tested or not. Worked BRILLIANTLY, had some excellent high level discussion! I used it with year 8 but I think it's suitable for all age groups with adaptions!

OCR Gateway B1e, Lesson on smoking focussed on indepedent learning. Small info sheets for pupils to teach a partner about alveoli and cilia then question and answer cards for groups to test eachother with.

This is a lesson recapping blood pressure then moving onto heart disease. Included are case study cards and a template for a 'heart disease fortune teller&' which I used as a plenary activity which girls in particular loved!

I used this lesson with a very lively year 7 class, so added an element of drama to keep them engaged!

Chromatography lesson with independent learning worksheet getting pupils to develop their investigatory skills and see how chromatography is used in forensics.

Independent lesson focusing on kwashiorkor and obesity. 'Main Worksheet&' is filled with a number of questions which I got pupils to answer using resources included and textbooks. I also included protein and carbohydrate food tests in this lesson. They could move onto the worksheet when they&';d done the tests!
