A song that helps students develop their ideas of three different vairables and the corrisponding lesson plan and handout to accompany the song. Rocket balloons are inflated balloons stuck to straws and the straw is threaded through a long piece of string

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.

a full lesson with static electricity. you need to have rods and cloths as a class resource and the van der Graff for a class demo.

A full lesson with plan on the big bang, what it is and the evidence behind it. \n\nAll the resources are there - some have been taken from here and adapted to create a full hours lesson.\n\nI used the collins set of textbook for the market place style activity.\n\nThe questions for quick on the draw were 1-8 from the poster question sheet

a complete lesson based on seperation.\nall resources included.

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

A lesson based on the Le Blanc Process and chlorine production. More based around evaluating the process and envrionmental impact. Full lesson plans and resources are there. Was intended for a double lesson but could be split into two.

an hour lesson on types of radiation, properties and introduction to uses - more about applying what they have learnt to situations. \n\nyou will need to find a quiz off here for the types but there are lots to choose from.\nThe summary sheet was a table off the board with column headings: particle type, stucture, penetration power, ionisation power.

a powerpoint to show the keywords of photosynthesis.

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.

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.

Full lesson for evlauating and justifying why recycling is important. The starter links to the ideas of mining and extracting metals from ores. It is an A and B lesson but you easily adapt. The ideas were to show lots of progress in the lesson and this is why the exam question is given before the main activity. I printed out a website with possitive points and negative points. This formed the basis of the main task. Im sorry I dont have it electronically so its not been linked. \n\nThis was done for an observation with B/C graded kids and got an outstanding for progress!

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.

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.

A tarsia puzzle for AQA unit three with the main key points. Useful as a revision tool.

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

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.

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!

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.

a lesson that i recieved excellent feedback on for an observation. all resources are there but you will need post it notes and practical equipment: different sized marbles/balls, meter rulers, stop watches. some of the slides need printing too - they are hidden in the document. hope you find it useful
