a simple little assessable activity on the fire triangle and fire safety

a quite simple worksheet on group seven usefull for a lower ability set

a simple worksheet/writing frame for a basic candle burning experiment

A worksheet and activity that uses coloured playballs to help pupils visualise balanced equations, they use the attached key to build the reactions on the worksheet and balance them

a powerpoint with a simple description of atomic and formula mass

a simple starter activity of a polluted city with a timeline for pupils to describe what the city is/was like now and in the past, a good thinking activity

a blank atomic structure sheet for using with pupils to explain electron structure

my medium term plan for a forensics/CSI unit

this shows different types of weathering on gravestones, useful for year 9 allows for a little bit of emapthy in discussions about weathering as well

Stolen from lots of other places on the TES this is a handy little revision tool for the new edexcel science spec for chemistry

a fun end of term activity where pupils choose a planet or moon from the star wars universe and complete a series of challenges based on their chosen planet or moon - all challenges are the same but the choice of planet can make the tasks easier or harder - my pupils loved this :) - all resources needed are included in the powerpoint i used moylmods and lego for the building challenges

a useful poster for display that helps pupils produce a structured evaluation

To get the pupils to learn atomic structure we made models of atoms using sweets if they make them on paper with clean hands they can eat them afterwards. We used white and milk chocolate buttons as the protons and neutrons and martians as the electrons with strawberry bootlaces to show the outer elcetron shells, the pupils understood the concept so well we went on to building atoms of oxygen and berylium as well to discuss how the shells fill up, a picture of their models is included and then we evaluated their models and the effectiveness of the model using the sheet attached

a powerpoint i made for a lecture on the science of special effects this explains how to make a number of cheap movie effects good for STEM clubs etc
