<p>Grade assessed task on combustion and hydrocarbons. Task is to make a book called Science with Santa and is based on hydrocarbons/combustion with a christmas theme for each grade.</p>

<p>I put this together for British Science week 2021 which as a department we are celebrating virtually a week early.</p> <p>There are 10 challenges for pupils to work through, most differentiated into an easier ‘Purple’ route or a harder ‘Black’ route. If undertaking the black route pupils can cover the left side of their screen so as not to be tempted to look at the easier route.</p> <p>Challenges were written with year 8 in mind but could be adapted for older year groups too.</p>

<p>Put together for triple biologists who are missing marks due to their exam technique. Has tips and questions to practice. Focused on how to improve exam technique in the new 9-1 GCSE.</p>

<p>An extension task poster, differentiated into bronze, silver and gold tasks of increasing challenge. Tasks are varied and my pupils have enjoyed doing them. I use it when pupils have finished, they get the habit of going and picking a task which they can then work on, leave and finished later if necessary. Particularly useful for KS3 where you may not necessarily wish to provide ‘more work’ as extension.</p>

<p>A power point that I put together alongside the RSPB’s power point on the school’s bird watch. It is designed for a 100 minute lesson. Has a cross curricular art activity and looks at birds as an influence in modern art.</p>
