This is a fun MCQ and fill in the blanks quiz about cells, which is suitable for advanced learners (e.g. 'A' - Level or IB Diploma students). This quiz should save you a lot of time, and is the the perfect starter or plenary to an advanced-level cell biology lesson.
The quiz covers the following key words and phrases:
Cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi bodies (you can change this to 'Golgi apparatus', if you wish)
Mitochondria
Nucleus
Ribosomes
Organelles
Enzymes
Proteins
Lysosomes
Vacuole
Nucleolus
Nuclear membranes
The resource is ideal for GCSE or IGCSE students, and is designed to act as a fun way for the students to do the following:
1. Learn how to describe each part of their timetable (e.g. "On Monday lesson 1 I have Science")
2. Learn how to ask which lesson their partner has. For example, learning how to say “which lessons do you have on a Thursday?”
Both students in the role play are given a timetable, with some blank spaces missing. Each student must describe their timetable to their partner, and fill in the blank spaces.
Syllabus references:
CIE IGCSE German: Area A2 (School routine).
Edexcel GCSE German:
Section One (High Frequency Language): Numbers, Time experessions, Times of the day; Days of the week
Section Two (Topic Specific Language): Daily life. What school is like.
Other IGCSE and GCSE exam boards also require knowledge and understanding of this topic.
This is a really clear PowerPoint that shows students how to use Hess's Law to solve problems. Includes a number of examples to help students see Hess's Law being used effectively.

This resource is fun for your students and it will really help to build time-related vocabulary (particularly when dealing the confusing 'halb' descriptor).
It's up to you how you use this one. It is basically a blank clock face with some German vocabulary on it. You may want to use it to test students or give as a homework. You will have to decide on the task that you can use this resource for.
A summary sheet containing useful words and phrases to describe your feelings in German.
This will benefit your high ability KS3 students, along with your GCSE kids, as they will be able to describe their feelings about themselves and others. Very good preparation for oral examinations.
This worksheet can be used to test students by having them identify elements as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids. It also has a section to list the physical characteristics of each type of element.
This beautiful crossword puzzle is suitable for both CIE and Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry students. An answer sheet is provided too.

I am an IGCSE Chemistry teacher with almost two decades of experience and I have created this resource from scratch.
A very clear PowerPoint presentation showing the 'arrows in boxes' electronic sub shell filling order from hydrogen to krypton. My students find this very helpful and it is useful when printed as a handout. It also shows clearly the incomplete 4s subshell in chromium and copper.
This worksheet is probably best given to students in year 9 and older. It is basically a series of questions to test their skills in writing down times of the day in German, followed by a useful wordsearch that introduces some new vocabulary
This quick test/worksheet covers the pharmaceutical products testing section of IBDP Chemistry Option D (FE 2016).
Questions include:
1. Testing drugs on animals and cell cultures tells us three things. What are they?
2. What does LD50 mean?
There's also a flow chart to fill in (the docx file has the answers (just remove the boxes).
A fun, clear, comprehensive and varied worksheet that works well as starter, plenary or as a chunk of the main body of lesson.
Suitable for GCSE or IGCSE Chemistry, Science (Double Award) or Science (Single Award), this resource covers:
1.The meaning of 'group number' and how this relates to reactivity trends
2. How 'group number' relates to outer shell electrons
3. Names of groups in the periodic table
4. Similarities in reactivity between elements
5. Differences between elements and compounds
Comes complete with answers. Great for peer or self-assessment.
Included in this pack are both the word doc (which you can edit) and pdf versions.
This is a fun (and moderately challenging) crossword puzzle that would serve as an excellent starter, plenary or in-lesson activity for any class about the periodic table. Suitable for GCSE, IGCSE and pre-IB/AS - Level stduents, this crossword tests students’ knowledge of:
1. The meaning of 'group number' and how this relates to reactivity trends
2. How 'group number' relates to outer shell electrons
3. Names of groups in the periodic table
4. Names of elements found in particular groups
5. Real-life scenarios of elements (e.g. iron in red blood cells, silicon in computer chips)
6. Metals and non-metals
7. Alkali metals, noble gases, halogens and transition metals
8. Metalloids
This is a lot of fun and your kids will love it. If your students have never learnt anything about the periodic table before, then you could provide the students with a summary to help them as they do the puzzle.
In this pack you get a PPTX (which you can edit), a pdf version and a png of the puzzle itself (in case you want to project it on your interactive whiteboard for students to fill in).
The excellent slide presentation goes through the IA process for both IB Maths AI and AA. The topics and features it includes are as follows:
The grading criteria
Examples of bad practice, with examples of how to correct the errors
Guidance on how to choose an IA topic
Lots of IA topic suggestions
This slideshow is a great resource that be used to introduce your IBDP Maths AA and AI students to the IA.
This is a full lesson plan that I created as part of my IB Maths AI Cat 1 course. It involves students using the free Desmos graphing software to explore translations and stretches of quadratic functions. I have included Word (editable) and pdf versions - a nice, quick lesson plan to present if you have an observation, for example.
Curricula this most aligns with are as follows:
IB Maths AI -Course Guide sections 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5
A-Level Maths: Quadratic functions
GCSE and IGCSE Maths: Graphs of Quadratic Functions
I created this resource as part of my Powerful Public Speaker Certificate Course for corporate professionals, and I believe that it is a great slideshow for a CPD session you might be running soon.
The PowerPoint is fully editable and has been beautifully formatted, giving it a very professional feel.
In this package you will find:
Slides that cover the 10 Golden Rules of Communication for Online Meetings
A graphic I created on Canva (with link to edit)
A link to a Quizlet I created which is DIRECTLY LINKED to the slides (great for doing Quizlet Live if you have a group training session that you are leading). This Quizlet link is in the final slide.
