The 2nd half covers sexual vs asexual reproduction, genetic variation, mono-hybrid inheritance, punnet squares, pedigree charts and natural selection. The slides are kept simple and are not cluttered with lots of words. The user can delete slides not required for their specific course. My students tell me the slides are easy to annotate and are very good for exam preparation. A set of learning objectives is given as well as three 2-page problem sheets that focused mainly on punnet squares and pedigree charts (answers provided). Two of the problem sheets can be bought separately from this shop ( "Biology: punnet square problems and interpretation of pedigree charts").

This resource contains some pH worked calculations and notes. The 2-page work sheet has weak acid and weak base problems as well as 2 misconception questions are also included to encourage students to be able to explain a concept without the need of a calculator. Answers are provided. The detailed pH calculation notes are also found in the other pH calculation resources at Drog-chem’s shop.

This resource consists of all of the material a teacher would need to teach a 3-4 week topic on the Periodic table. Most of the focus is on the PT trends, how it can be used to predict a property of an element or charge on an ion. The topic also covers subatomic particles, electron configuration, formation of ions, compounds/molecuels, reactions of group 1 and 2 metals with group 6 and 7 non-metals and the tests for H2, O2 and CO2. Resources include worksheets, starters, projects and short tests. The “notes for teachers” outlines how I teach this subject for both low and higher ability students along with ideas of the projects I set the students. Some documents contain more than 1 worksheet or activity. Additional slides have been included on balancing equations if the class is stronger. Either use them in this course or save for the following year. Some of this material appears in other resources at Drogchem's shop (eg balancing equations and funworders). Please get back to me if there are specific things that should be included and I will update this pack.

This resource consists of 2 worksheets and answers. Each takes about 40-60 minutes to complete so they are useful for finishing off a lesson or as homework. WS1 starts be getting students to practice rearranging equations and then to apply the equations to solve for one unknown.. The worksheets are suitable for students new to the use of and interpretation of the equations V=IR, P=IV and P=W/t. Some short answer questions are included in WS2 that ask students to compare different components in series and parallel circuits (eg. bulbs and degree of brightness). The questions are designed to get students thinking about why something is observed (cf just calculations). Key words: calculations, electricity, power, watt, volts, current, resistance, series, parallel, ohm, amps, energy Other resources of greater difficulty will be available after they have been proof-read.

This resource consists of 3 worksheets (some double sided) and answers. The first is a starter activity (T or F) and takes about 10-20 minutes to complete.
