This book selects practicals suitable for primary teachers and is designed to support existing teacher, NQTs, ITT, PGCE students in making science accessible, memorable and exciting. These can be used a full practicals or mini-activities to promote investigation work. Students should be come familiar with the key concept and procedures. Topics/units include: Speed, velocity, acceleration, forces, energy transformations, states of matter, magnets, volume, elements, diseases, floating and sinking, pressure, chemical reactions, combustion, smoking and much more…. Note that these activities are also found in my 2 books - 50 ways Memorable and Exciting Practicals and Demonstrations 1 & 2 that can be purchased separately.

A fantastic booklet of Science demos that I came across completely by accident!

Everything you need to deliver seven plant practical activities. Easily adaptable and suitable for Year 7, 8 and 9. Some would also be suitable in year 10. The slides for each activity include the apparatus needed, method, results and conclusion. They can also be performed as demonstrations and most of them can be used in distance learning. What happens to plants in the absence of light? – This practical can be done in the lab or sent to do it at home in a distance learning approach as little material is needed. It can also be shown as a demonstration. Leaves under the microscope Roots for food: web exploring activity that can be easily performed in distance learning. Seeds feeling gravity: lab activity although it is simple enough to be performed in distance learning. Transport of water in celery: 2 lab activities included. It could be performed at home with food colouring. Investigating different colours of light in photosynthesis – theoretically. Can be done in distance learning. All the information given for student to work out on their own the apparatus, risks, results and conclusion. Check the slides’ notes for some extra info about the activity. Some coincide with Cambridge Science textbook/scheme of work, but can be used alongside any other SOW. All pictures have been sourced from the creative commons website. Please, contact me if you have any doubt. Constructive feedback would be much appreciated!

This word document contains hyperlinks for different demonstrations/ practical activties to help students understand different concepts. The units were taken from my current schools specification. This is quite useful for teachers who are newer/ anyone who wants a bit of inspiration. Rersources taken from all over the place- particular thanks to thescienceteacher.co,uk

Never miss a practical again with this AQA Triple Science Required Practical Checklist! Inside you’ll find a 6 page checklist which covers: Required practicals separated by subject and then by topic The specification descriptors of each required practical Complete list of topics for each subject that DO NOT contain a required practical 2 pages of ‘other’ practicals and demonstrations that are not technically required but the exam board could ask you about anyway!

The activities in this collection are all easy to set up, require minimal kit and will take less than 20 minutes to run. They have been created to support purposeful, frequent and varied practical science in schools as recommended by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. Access the full collection of 30 activities on IOPSpark.

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Physics! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about how liquids cause pressure. Students will describe how liquid pressure changes with depth, explain why some things float and some things sink, and how area affects upthrust. Students will also calculate pressure in liquids in a range of situations. The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, worksheets, quizzes and a class practical for students to complete. In the class practical students will observe two short experiments that demonstrate floating and sinking, and how pressure in water changes with depth. This resource is part of the motion and pressure topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for GCSE Science. 16 slides in total for the lesson PPT

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Physics! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about how pressure is caused in gases. Students will describe how fluids exert a pressure, the factors that affect gas pressure, calculate fluid pressure and describe how atmospheric pressure changes with height. The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, worksheets, quizzes and a class practical for students to complete. In the class practical students will observe two short experiments that demonstrate the effects of atmospheric pressure - the collapsing bottle and sealed syringes. This resource is part of the motion and pressure topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for GCSE Science. 20 slides in total for the lesson PPT

The book is designed to support new and existing science teachers. It put together a number of old and new ways to inspire students and engage them in their learning. This is particularly useful for new and trainee science teachers as it gives ideas and guidance, all in one place.

Everything you need to deliver 6 Biology practical activities in the lab. Easily adaptable and suitable for Year 7, 8 and 9. Some would also be suitable in GCSE. The slides for each activity include the apparatus needed, method, results and conclusion/evaluation. I have been using these 6 activities in KS3 for several years now and they work very well, they are one hour long approximately. They can also be performed as demonstrations. Heart and lung dissection Burning Candles Measuring cardiac output - this practical does not require a lab and could also be conducted in an online lesson. Respiration in Yeast Proper use of the microscope. Growing bacteria: this is one of my favourites because they enjoy it a lot. Check the slides’ notes for some extra info. Coincides with Exploring Science textbook/scheme of work, but can be used alongside any other SOW. Technician notes and basic risk assessment are included for all practical activities in an excel document. All pictures have been sourced from the creative commons website.

A planning scaffold aimed at lower ability / SEN pupils to support with demonstrating the practical skills and thinking skills required in the new science national curriculum. Can be easily adapted to meet needs of higher attaining pupils.

One booklet, five exciting and engaging practicals / demonstrations! I put this together for a science enrichment day with the aim of re-engaging disaffected pupils in science. Could be used in one day, or a series of lessons through a term.

This is the third book in the series with each book containing 50 demonstrations and investigations. The book is designed to support science teachers new and old, including trainee (PGCE, ITT, NQTs) science teachers. It contains both old and new ideas that can help to engage and inspire students. Investigations include: Bouncing egg, mouse traps, comets, bath bombs, exploding cans, kaleidoscope, testing double glazing, rockets and much more.

Here are some practical worksheets to use in your lessons, to complement some of the learning objectives from Edexcel GCSE Computer Science 2016. *Manipulating strings (Part 1)* This is a simple program using built-in string functions. It also includes demonstrates of converting a string to an integer. *Manipulating string (Part 2) - using local and global variables* This worksheet can be used as an extension to the above. It shows the use of when a global variable can be used. This is demonstrated through the good practice of removing repeating code and putting it into a reusable sub-program (function), then changing the local variable to a global variable, so the subprogram can access the variable. This activity can be used to reinforce the importance of decomposition and abstraction when developing code. *Variables and Constants* A worksheet for students to write a Rock, Paper, Scissors Game. They should be asked to identify a variable that does not change during the game and change it to UPPERCASE to create a recognisable constant. I hope to add more worksheets as I create them.
