Here is a slide for the beginning of every AQA GCSE Biology paper 1 lesson with a retrieval practice question. The questions on the right hand side are the most recent, the left hand side is randomly selected from the syllabus studied so far. You can click on the question the student is answering to reveal the answer underneath.

Fairly Challenging Christmas Quiz - science themed

Teaching resource to help translate between Farsi and English for an EAL student, thought it might be helpful to someone else!

Tried to help a Farsi student out during a lesson on hydrocarbons, now I’m helping you too :)

Probably not the best translation of all of these words, there were so many ways to say pure!!

One off investigation to land an egg safely, with success criteria! Perfect for science club, designed for a primary school science taster session This could easily be done at home! You just need an egg and some recycling materials such as plastic cups, polystyrene, newspaper, string, cardboard, paper, old carrier bags!

A poster showing how to reference an assignment/poster/leaflet Entertaining presentation style, thorough referencing include figures, subheadings etc.

Booklet that can be used to work from for the BTEC applied science unit 3 investigation into Diffusion. Booklet in total took about 5 sessions to complete (tasks cover planning, carrying out investigation, processing data and write up!). Answers for the analysis are included as these questions have been adapted from past paper questions.

A booklet which breaks down assignment brief B to help students organise themselves as they go through the experiment in class. Included is also some PowerPoint slides with useful youtube links and a checklist of everything that I felt needed to be included in the assignment brief.

Test questions based on Lesson uploaded by me

Easy science project for students to complete on dissolving sugar in a cup of tea. This is at 3 clearly differentiated levels (Easy, Medium, Difficult), so you can pick the one that is most appropriate to each student. Students can then peer assess one another, or self assess themselves using the checklist. The checklist will need adapting depending on what levels you are using for assessment! This would be fantastic to use at home too, as it is an easy scientific experiment for children to do. You just need a glass, water and sugar. They could expand on this by counting how many teaspoons of sugar dissolve in hot and cold water. They could find out what happens to the speed at which particles move in hot and cold water, and therefore why there is a difference. It is also a good opportunity to practice drawing particle diagrams.

Summative assessment for lessons uploaded. Biology assessment covering the circulatory, reproductive and breathing systems. Revision questions match the Assessment closely, answers provided for both.
