An excellent resource for helping students to understand electron configuration at KS3 and GCSE. The resource contains a set of three electron shells, a key, and element symbols. Just add Plasticine!
Ideal for teaching the structure of leaves at KS3 and beyond. Students identify and label the parts of a leaf and then cut out and build a 3D cube. So much better than a picture in a book.
Fun board game in which students (as red blood cells) must make their way through the human circulatory system, answering questions as they do so. Simply cut out the counters and laminate the board (A3). There are many different ways to play but suggested instructions included.
Students identify and label the parts of human skin then assemble the cube. Provides a fantastic 3D cross section; much better than a 2D image on a worksheet or in a book.
All eight planets (and Pluto) of the solar system. Blank space for students to fill in facts about each (e.g. size, distance from the Sun etc.). Students then cut out and build each planet, arranging them in order. It makes for a great display. Please note, the larger planets (Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter) should be printed onto A3 card and the smaller planets onto A4.
This is hugely popular among my GCSE Biology students. Students have 60 seconds to draw a keyword and for their teammates to correctly identify it. Great fun. Includes biology keyword cards, playing board, counters, drawing boards (to laminate) and full instructions.
This is a great introduction to classification. The aim of the game is guess your opponent's mystery animal before they guess yours using only yes/no questions about each animal's features (feathers, fins, fur, eight legs etc.). Simple to set up and great fun!
Set of 30 element playing cards (metals in blue and non-metals in red). Can be used to play 'Top Trumps' style game or anything else. Set also includes blank copies of the cards for students to complete themselves.
Fun activity in which students build Giorgio Amino and Gianni Verstachi bracelets using amino acid and glucose 'jewels.' Nice plenary to lessons about biological molecules.
