I am a Science Teacher with 25 years experience and love producing resources. As one of my HoD's remarked "Your lesson plans and resources are outstanding, if only you could teach as good as your resources." Chemistry is my main subject, but have an interest in Pedagogy, especially CASE (Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education) and misconceptions and how to overcome them.

Now with a PowerPoint This booklet covers the Variation and Inheritance topic at KS4 . It is also suitable for some KS3 students. It contains 13 content pages where on each page is a keyword and definition, an image, example and some simple questions and an extension question.
This includes a classification activity where students classify using the domain system and the normal system and compare the two.
All the information is there in the booklet.

This booklet covers the basics of the Inheritance topic for KS4, it can also be used with upper KS3 students. It contains 11 content pages where on each page is a keyword and definition, an image, example and some simple questions and an extension question and/or project activity.
It comes with an interactive Power Point to guide the students through the booklet.
There is a punnett square activity to help the students understand how they work including sex determination, small/tall plants and sweet/sour fruit.
All the information is there in the booklet so that at the end they have a complete booklet to take home and hopefully revise from.

This updated Biology resource now has individual 9-1 graded exam style questions to assess students levels. It is used with KS4 and is designed to ask questions on Working Scientifically and the Maths calculations that are involved. These exam style questions with model answers are adapted from AQA past papers. They are normally used post practical as assessment / revision / homework, but can be used during as well or a cover lesson.
This contains all the Required Practicals in Biology in one place: Osmosis, Decay, Enzymes, Field Investigations, Food Tests, Microbiology, Photosynthesis, Plant Response and Reaction Times.
It also includes the Required Practical Graphic Orgainser helpsheet (worth £1) that will help the students answer the questions in these resources.
Each required practical resource comes as a 5 Power Point slide to project in lessons and a PDF version for printing. It has two sheets of questions and two sheets of answers allowing for students to self or peer assess. On the top right hand corner of the sheet the students can identify areas where they need to improve so that teachers can easily see which section they are having trouble with.
Each sheet assesses students skills including interpreting the data, calculations, remembering the Health and Safety and suggesting ways of improving the experiment.
Key concepts covered are types of error and rarer ones such as validity, reproducibility and repeatability.
Each question slide has Blooms Style Learning Objectives for whole class focused learning.

This is a compilation of booklets produced to help students studying for the Foundation level AQA Biology GCSE. They can be used in class or at home. They come with PowerPoints to show in class if needed.
They cover:
Ecology
Homeostasis
Infection and Response
Inheritance
Variation and Evolution
I used them in a behaviour unit as attendance affected learning/ I felt students could start where they left off and take the booklet home for revision at the end.

This is a bundle of nine required practicals (or three for £2 see below) that can be done at home (with adult permission/supervision) for this time during whilst students are working from home (Chromatography, Density, Force and Extension, Specific Heat Capacity, Thermal Insulation, Waves, Field Investigations, Osmosis, Plant Response and Reaction Time).
This is all the required practicals that can safely be done at home with household equipment.
It includes all the necessary information, worksheets and powerpoints for students (all files are included in pdf format for easier home access).
