All of my resources are priced at the minimum allowed by TES, they aren't trendy or earth shattering, they are a backbone to build the finesse onto, or, if it's period 7 on a Friday, you've got 300 reports still to write, a dozen UCAS references AND you need to set cover for a colleague who's sneezed twice and is off all week, they will serve well enough at an advanced FOFO level.

This is a set of complete lesson notes.
Good for supplementary notes, as cover, for prep or for revision.
It includes questions and activities and can be edited.
Covers titration procedure.
I have started to combine this with my Stochiometric relationships worksheet (available in a bundle) as a plenary to reinforce the work.

A comparison game not in any way similar to an aggressively copyrighted card matching game.
Use it to get your pupils researching about universities by filling in the fields and then comparing against their peers.
You can even throw in a few pre-prepared cards of your own for popular courses such as Law at Oxford, Medicine, PPE, Engineering and so on.
The fields are editable and the information can be found on the Universities own website, on UCAS, in Heap Degree course offers or in the Times/Guardian guides.
This is the simplest itineration so pupils have what I consider to be the essential information and you can edit it depending on the focus of your pupils (I normally include application deadlines, Open Day Dates and Visa requirements, number of students on campus and international: home student ratio).
Weblinks to help are… banned by the TES
Shows students how addition of alkali to acid changes the moles of H+, then [H+] then pH and shows why pH approaches 14 but doesn’t reach it. Also shows how very small changes in volume create a very steep rise in pH
They can then plot the graph if that is a desired outcome (or view the generated one)
A nice mathematical demonstration suitable for A level or IB students.
Written by a medical student for NHS outreach work in schools to educate grade7-11 pupils about mental illness, prejudices and sstigma.
A GOOD lesson for PSHE or whole school assembly.
There is NO statutory requirement to teach this in the national curriculum. Perhaps there should be...
Supporting presentation for pupils aged 11-16 about mental health, prejudice and stigma associated with.
Prepared by a med student for NHS outreach work in schools.
Good for PSHE or whole school assembly.
A lesson for middle school pupils to initiate independent research into which subjects they would need at IB in order to follow a particular career path.
Includes closed questions, open questions, pair-share activity and stimulus material for prep.
This is a simple writing frame that I use to get pupils STARTED on the Personal Statement.
I find getting them going to be the hardest point- once they have stuff I can work with it, but frequently they don't get going (or bibble on about their passion and their character-developing Peruvian-nose-flute voluntourist trips to the amazon; frankly, that's just tedious- less passion, more penetration please).
So I wrote a really basic guide. It works well with all abilities as it's simple and clear. IT IS NOT FOR THE US THOUGH, they care much more about aforementioned Peruvian-nose-flute self development...
A guide to calculating absolute and percentage error, experimental error, propagating errors and using excel to construct appropriate graphs treating errors via error bars, best, steepest, shallowest gradients etc.
A basic admin tool to get pupils taking responsibility for their university applications.
Fine for PSHE, for Mentor tutors, careers advisors etc etc.
I link to each pupil's page on a google document, that includes their Personal Statement framework, an excel document to manage applications and various commercially-available publications.
get the pupils doing more, so you only have to monitor.
Starter or revision activity for Learning shapes of molecules based on VSEPR
I use this as a plenary to accompany my lesson notes, and as end of course revision.
This is available as a bundle.
Whole Lesson
I wrote these notes for a pupil who was off school for a very long time, and they proved successful. I also use them for distance learning/ private tuition, but work just as well as classroom resources.
Useful for Cover or a prep, or to supplement textbook.
Includes Weblinks, activities, questions etc.
Suitable for post 16 chemistry, specific to IB DP
Will easily cover an entire lesson and I use it with flashcards activity (in the bundle) as a plenary.
Acid and Base theories, Arrhenius, Bronsted and Lowry, etc etc. Written for the 2016 IB DP syllabus but should work for most post 16 courses.
Fine for prep or as a supplement to textbook. IF used as a FOFO, weblinks and suggested reading included.
Or for cover lessons.
Fine for cover or for prep.
Can be used to supplement textbook or pupil's own notes.
Flipping the classroom seems to be the new trendy teaching method. Included are weblink and suggested reading. You could easily give this to pupils in advance of the lesson with the expectation that they will watch the web links and complete the reading, bringing any areas of difficulty into the classroom. You can then maximise your teaching effectiveness by only dealing with the difficulties.
Personally, I peer/ self assess most of these resources in class, infrequently taking one in for a marking myself.
Other science resources available here.

Notes for Periodicity topics.
Editable.
Workpack for IB SL Topic three with weblinks to NOS TOK topics.
Includes trends, definitions, questions and activities
Key skills-include graph drawing.
Fine for cover lessons/ independent learning.
I use it with a flashcard activity as the plenary (it's in my bundle) to reinforce learning.
An editable resource for educating GIRLS about body image and how what you see is often impossible to achieve.
Includes LINKSs to youtube videos (can easily be embedded). Note- there is an excellent MALE version of the same video by DOVE, showing male body distortions by photoshop.
Used as a lesson, equally powerful as an assembly
matching pairs, flashcards etc activity for IB DP topic 1, or, the quantitative chemistry module of most post-16 qualifications.
I use this type of activity as part of a standard repertoire for a starter or a plenary for fact-based learning.
It may not be trendy- but assimilating facts is pretty-much the cornerstone of chemistry learning, but pupils don't like it. This sort of activity makes it more entertaining, and with bigger classes you can do it as a race. I have small classes sources so I do it as a timed exercise over successive lessons.
Fine for KS4 KS5.
Written for IB DP
