Plant and Animal Cells Spin Wheel Revision Resource This resource encompasses 12 key questions from the cell unit unit. These are questions selected as they occur regularly and are classically challenging for students to answer. The resource is based around plant and animal cell components, component functions and locations in the cell. Example questions from the spin wheel resource: Which cell components are specific to only plant cells? Which cell component is linked to respiration? What is the role of the nucleus? Also included in the resource is a full answer set. There is also an instructions sheet, with helpful guidance on using the spin wheel as a revision tool, student answer sheet and a ‘tick and repeat sheet’. This encourages the student to revisit the spin wheel to revise the key questions until they reach the ‘know it’ level. Very simple preparation: Print the sheets (set up in A4 PDF). The students can then cut out the pin wheel for themselves and push a pen or pencil through the middle for the wheel to spin around. I found clamp stands to be a useful alternative.

Plant and Leaf Structure Definitions Task Cards This resource includes 2 packs of task cards (20 task cards in each). Both sets include the same keywords and each require students to define the keywords. There are 4 task cards per side of A4. Simply print and give to your students. No further prep is required. Lower ability set: This set has ‘power words’ included which are three related words that students must use in their definitions. This provides students with a writing framework to help them build their definitions. Higher ability set: This set does not include power words and relies of students accessing their own knowledge of plant and leaf structure to write definitions. Please view the list of keywords included in the task cards by clicking on the preview.

Reproductive Systems and Sex Education Definitions Task Cards This resource includes 2 packs of task cards (20 task cards in each). Both sets include the same keywords and each require students to define the keywords. There are 4 task cards per side of A4. Simply print and give to your students. No further prep is required. Lower ability set: This set has ‘power words’ included which are three related words that students must use in their definitions. This provides students with a writing framework to help them build their definitions. Higher ability set: This set does not include power words and relies of students accessing their own knowledge of reproductive systems and sex education to write definitions. I have also included a summary table of all the task cards included and their corresponding power words.

This set of 12 question cards comes will a full set of comprehensive answers. Questions on the cards relate to: Organelles (nucleus, cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane, ribosome, mitochondria, chloroplast, vacuole) Location of organelles (pictures with arrows to describe where they are in the cell) Function of organelles (their individual roles) Comparing plant and animal cells (which organelles are only in plant cells) Key terms (chlorophyll, photosynthesis, respiration etc…) Bright, engaging and covering all key aspects of a cells unit, these cards are the ideal learning tool!

This great resource is a multiple choice quiz on plant and animal cells. The quiz includes questions on: Parts of the cell Function of organelles Location of organelles in the cell Comparisons between plants and animal cells There is also a complete answer set, cover page for grading and a reflecting back page where students can assess their progress and next steps. This covers all the main aspects of the cell topic and is a great summary assessment which is fast and easy to mark!

This cut and paste activity is based around matching the following into groups of three: Cell Component Name (nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosome, mitochondria and cell membrane) Cell Component Location (where it is in the cell) Cell Component Function (the key role of the component) Equipment required: Glue Scissors No further prep, just print and an answer sheet is also included within the resource!

This is a WHOLE YEAR resource for key stage 3 science. There are 52 pages of keyword task sheets. All words fit the current British KS3 syllabus e.g. reproduction, gravity, ecosystem, magnetic, planet, reaction, molecule, atom, plant cell etc. There are also 6 pages of template task sheets, should you wish to print off and add your own keywords. The task sheets are differentiated - they appeal to all types of learner and are ideal for mixed ability classes. Very bright and engaging too! The task sheets can take up to 30 minutes to complete and they are ideal for classwork or homework. The files included are in Powerpoint (for easy editing) and PDF (for quick printing). Please feel free to ask any questions before purchasing.

This handy work sheet and answer page is ideal for understanding the function and examples of food groups. Students cut and paste the boxes into the right place to make a bright visual which stands out in an exercise book. Once they’re done, they can check their work against the answer page included in this resource.
