This is for pupils to develop the ability to use a spreadsheet (I wrote it in excel) to process a large amount of data in order to calculate a value for g (set to be a little lower than 9.8) and then lead into consideration of experimental errors. Using s=ut + 1/2at2 pupils can calculate gravitational acceleration. Pupils are provided with values for s and t Pupils need to calculate a mean t from a very large data set (easy to do using excel). Pupils then need to square the mean t. Then they need to plot s against t2 which will give them a linear graph with the gradient as 1/2 a. The worksheet is editable so weaker pupils can have more guided instructions. Stronger pupils can work their way through. The accompanying worksheet then looks at errors in measurement- absolute and % AND there is a random error in the data set. Pupils can use absolute errors in the data to determine size of error bars, Pupils can work out experimental error, plot best, steepest and shallowest trend lines for g and compare that against the total % error in their data.

A word doc with weblinks/ page references for independent research. Covers alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, polymerisation, electrophilic addition, nucleophilic substitution, Includes gap fill, best response (multi choice) questions, mechanisms etc. I use this as prep, but can also be used as homework, or as a cover lesson. Other resources here- science and whole school/ careers/pastoral care. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/paulbold

This an editable worksheet with weblinks for independent study. Has a graded sequence of questions involving calculations of Kc- from simple to complex requiring logic as well as application of the formula Kc =[products] / [reactants] Includes teacher notes and guidance as to how I differentiate- extend questions etc. At heart this is a simple activity, but you can really tailor this to your need- I like to use it as a refresher before tackling acid/ base equilibria and calculations of pH, but it could be used to reinforce the need to find things out for oneself, or as a homework, or at a stretch, for a cover lesson. leads nicely into Ka

Revision Activity for Medical students or Upper sixth students prepping for Oxbridge interview, Med School interview, extra credit etc.

A nice independent research project written for the IDBP syllabus, but also used as Oxbridge and year 1 medical prep. It is essentially a research exercise looking at drugs and drug development. Can be used as Prep, or Homework, or, as a FOFO lesson if you have to set cover.

My guide for performing successful titrations. A tried and tested method to help pupils of all abilities with titrations. This is something that pupils historically struggle with. This is designed to help even the most challenging pupil record results that are meaningful.

I made this to accompany our NOVA data-logger in EKG mode but works with smartphone apps and other dataloggers. Can be used as a starter or plenary of the ECG. Comprises of flashcards and matching pairs games. The EKG data-logger DOES show the various waves, and model EGKs are also available. Aimed at Upper sixth Biologists/ Sports scientists/ 1st year medics.

Editable resource Good for revision or starter. Year 1 medics or upper sixth.

Good for Post 16 Biologists or Sports Scientists. Used as a revision resource/ starter for microcirculation. I use this as a matching pairs game, but it is equally useful as flashcards or for sequencing. Editable. Fine for Medics too. I use it as a starter/ plenary but can be used as revision.

Flashcards- good for starter or for revision. I use this as a matching pairs game, but is equally adaptable as flashcards (fold down the centre and cut) or sequencing activity. It's a good stretch and challenge for more-able sixth formers or those intending to read medicine.

Editable flashcards to help learn about defects in haemostasis. Good for year 1 medics or upper sixth pupils.
