Some science Tarisa puzzles
Four puzzles I have made for science such as fuels, electromagnetic radiation, metal reactions and photosynthesis.
There is also a link to the software that you need to down load to acess.
It is free!

Student graphs for self tracking
a graph that I use to stick in the front of students books and whenever they do a summertive assesment or task that provides them with information on their achievement they fill in a bar on the graph.
In my books I get the students to draw a thick black line on the graph where their target is so they can see quickly if they are on at or above the target.

Additional Applied science - ways to see into the body
A marking grid for self or peer assesment for students.
It should be used to help them understand what they need to know about ways the medical proffesion can see into the body without invasive surgery. Marks on the grid are guidlines to how many points are needed for each section

Adaptation concept cartoon
A concept cartoon for animal adaptation. All statments are paritally right but the students can use them to discuss the ideas at the start of the lesson or at the end of the lesson to asses progess. \nI have used it at both the start and the end of a lesson so the students can see how much progress they have made.

making cells evaluation
students made cells (specialised or basic) out of materials such as jelly, plastacene, paint, plastic cups, pain ect..
they then were asked to evaluate them with the help of the levelled scaffold. A photo of their cell was taken and printed to put in their books with the evlauation.
its for a lower level class where literacy and vocabulary is an issue.
it can also be used as an app assesment in a modeling contex

Modelling digestion APP task focus
Modeling the digestive system. Students evaluate the model and suggest improvements to the model to meet the app focus. they then asses their evaluation against the app criteria attached.
To model the digestive system you need a: mortar and pestle, tights, blender, food, water and a washing up bowl.
The mortar and pestle are the mouth and teeth, the blender the stomach, the tights the intestines and the washing up bowl is the body.

Comparing blood slides
A work sheet which students have 3 blood sample pictures and they have to identify the components in the normal slide, explain differences in two other slides.

Photosynthesis concept cartoon for discussion
Picture with 3 statements about plant growth and light. Students are to see what they think about them in groups. the answers are partly right but not completely right.... opens it up to discussion.

research for level 3 unit 2 btec science
A lesson based on how to use research and form hypothesis for the unit 2 btec applied science project. \ncould be used for other types of research too.\n\nThe only additional resource needed are some printouts of websites that can be used for planning an experiment.\n\nI have added the follow on list of stuff that we used to check off what was required for the write up in the next lesson - it may be useful to adapt to fit the assignment written in your school

Environmental change and extinction
a fully contained lesson for higher biology - b1b aqa but could be used for other boards.\n\nset up as a market place around the room with the posters.\n\nstudents draw a table in the book with the headings: animal, numbers left, reasons for endangered status

Survival and adaptations
a lesson based on adaptations for survival.
Includes lesson plan and all resources

Adaptations of leaves in different light areas
a lesson to see if shade affects the size and the shape of the leaves. Students collected leaves from three areas and then measured the area on squared paper. they then came up with a conclusion if the amount of light available affects the leaf's size. there are lots of oppertunities to evaluate the practical.

Lesson based on transmission of infection
a lesson based on how microbes are transfered. The lesson is based around Semmelweiss and what he discovered. \n\nyou will need the glow bug powder and a uv light. make sure you sprinkle it on worksheets first to show how its transmitted. it shows what surfaces it gets on to and how one person not washing their hands has a big effect.\n\nyou can also use the gel to demonstrate how well hand washing needs to be done to remove any traces of microbes.

isa session on common mistakes
a 2 part session to go through the common areas that students do badly in.\nThe equipment is just basic- sponge, scissors, measuring cylinder, washing up bowl, funnel, ruler.\nStudents cut the sponge to different sizes as the independent variable.

Immune system - new style 6 mark qu for higher
a question based on the white blood cells and how it proctects against illness. the image file is how i presented it to the students and looked at the banding of the marks. we went through what was required and i explained that 6 points were not enough and that it was more about the structure of the answer. the model answer sheet shows the students what is required to gain the full 6 and an A*. hope you find it useful.

6 generic plenary mats using dice
This is a 6 page power point with each slide being a mat that can be printed or shown in lessons to sum up the learning.
You will need a dice per group/pair.
6 tasks on each slide.
slide one - summary/knowledge tasks
slide two -number tasks based on consolidating the learning
Slide 3 - drawing tasks
slide 4 - writing tasks
slide 5 - creating a learning task for the lesson
slide 6 - helping others task

a lesson on mitosis
a complete lesson on a power point. video clip from you tube to answer questions from and then students model the process in modelling clay on a sheet.
an exam question to finish which can be peer assessed or self assessed.
very straightforward. students could be given the choice to draw or make the pictures.

differentiated activies related to blooms
a set of slides that can be added into your own lessons to aid differentiation in lessons
The six updated areas have six tasks attached to them.
These slides can be slightly adapted in a minimal amount of time to fit to the lesson.
A few require a little forward planning but nothing more than a quick five minutes.

12 ideas to create engagement
a set of generic ideas to get engagement from your class. some do require a lot of planning and some require very little.
There is a template with some of the scaffolds to help with differentiation and time saving.
