Display posters for the 10 Ideas of Science and the 4 Ideas about science.

PowerPoint to support presentation on Challenge in the secondary school classroom. Includes references to SOLO taxonomy and Socratic questioning. Great resource to support ITTs, NQTs and RQTs who are looking for suggestions on how to improve the level of challenge within their classroom.

This is an alternative to an enable table. These are resources that I use within my classroom. My First aid cupboard is where I store resources such as text books etc. The first aid badges (which I laminate and have in lanyards) are used with students who complete their work and then support others in the class. The certificates are used to encourage the First aiders to reflect on their learning (and recognise their great efforts). As usual feedback is welcome.

These are best printed 2 per page and back to back. I have used these as homeworks (but could be used as cover work or lesson activities) to encourage students to be more creative. Have had some fantastic pieces of learning from Y7 through to Y12 students. As per usual feedback is welcome.

The exit passes are best printed 4 per A4 sheet. There are multiple copies as each has a separate interesting science fact on it. The table toppers are best done on A4 and laminated. These can be left on tables for the duration of the lesson and any questions the students have can be written on them. Both these resources are in response to the requirement to encourage students to have a curiosity about science. As usual please provide feedback.

These are best printed 2 per side and double sided - to give A5 size sheets. These are for giving students when they have online (self marked) pieces of homework. Often there is no evidence of these other than a simple percentage. These sheets provide students with an opportunity to evaluate their progress and also for parents to write a comment. I would perhaps use these 2 or 3 times a half term (rather than every piece of homework). These can be adapted for other online homeworks or KS4. As usual any feedback is welcome.

These are best printed 4 to a page and back to back. You then get 2 sided A6 size sheets with teacher feedback on one side and student response (MRI=my response is) on the other side. I use these when student's work needs assessing but it would be difficult to write comments directly onto their work, e.g emailed presentations, models, verbal presentations or hard copies that would be spoiled with comments being written on them. If printed correctly then they can be stuck into students books or files and can flip up to reveal student's responses. As usual please give me any feedback, suggested improvements or just simply how you have used these.

This is the improved version of the BAA sheets (Book analysis and assessment). These are best printed 4 per page so each resource is then a half page of A4. These can easily be adapted to allow the students themselves to self assess their own work. Generally these are done once per half term - any more than that would be marking madness! As usual any feedback would be welcome along with what use you have been able to make of them.

Exactly what it says on the tin! This is an adapted version of a SOLO sequencing HOT map for practicals.It is best printed back to back on A3 paper. Students then plan their practical using one side. Once completed they can then write up their method, comparing this with the original plan.When I have used it I have found students are more likely to write in order to achieve higher SOLO levels.As usual feedback is welcome.

This resource is used for the students to record any misspelled words in the work.It is the purple spelling bee as I write corrected spellings in purple (see also my marking key resource).An A4 copy of this is stuck into the back of the students' books.As per usual please feedback is welcome.

These exit passes are linked to the 4 pillars of Independence, Collaboration, Creativity and Communication. They can be used by students to assess their levels against the 4 pillars criteria (see other resources). We use them in the Learn to Learn scheme that we teach in Y7. I also intend to use them in my science lessons. Please let me know if you find these of any use.

These are my first attempt at providing levels for the 4 main pillars that I have written into our Learn to Learn scheme. They can be used along with the display document - Pillars of success. Please let me know how useful you find these.

Have put this visual together as part of the Learn to Learn scheme that I am developing at our school. It shows how the 4 main pillars (Independence / Collaboration / Creativity / Communication) support the learning of all subjects and how it is underpinned by a Growth mindset. There are also some levelled criteria available that I have written for each of the 4 pillars. Please let me know how useful you find this.

These are a set of posters I designed for displaying around our faculty. The idea is to catch the students' attention. Work best if regularly swapped around. Let me know how useful you find these.

This is one of those strategies that I came up with in a moment of enlightenment - only to find that the idea had already been used before - primarily in the Primary phase!! Anyway I put these resources together myself and have them displayed. Make constant reference to them whenever students are thinking, talking, writing or reading. Helps them understand that a high quality written response does not 'appear' as if by magic - particularly when in an exam. Let me know how you find these resources.

I have this resource printed and displayed in my classroom. Students are allocated teams as part of a seating plan - they are each given a number 1-4. Each number is then allocated a role. Teams move tables each lesson (indicated by a box with their team name on it). Teams are re-organised every half term. Roles and numbers are also changed half termly - as many students may retain the same number but in a different team! Hope that all makes sense. I will probably put together a help sheet to go with this resource at some point. Please let me know how useful you find these.

Useful posters and student sheets to provide support when students are assessing each others work and providing feedback. Can be used in conjunctions with PAWs. Please let me know how useful you find these.

Science Terminology Analysis Report posters. These are the key words associated with current AQA scheme. These are best printed A3 and can be used in conjunction with the STAR exit pass. Please let me know how useful you find these.

Review - Analysis - Progress These are used as a structured revision homework for students. They are written for the current AQA scheme and currently only include Core and Additional topics. Please let me know how useful you find these.

Book analysis and assessment sheets. These are used for 'deep marking' of exercise books / files once every half term or so. They work best when printed 4 per A4 page. The red version is to highlight to the student that there are more issues than praise. I am currently improving these so will upload the improved versions once completed. Please let me know how useful you find these.
