A complete lesson about plant and animal cells for AQA B1. Powerpoint Presentation with a series of activities and resources to print.

Created for a low-attaining year 7 class but could be used across KS2-3. This resource is a whole lesson, consisting of a worksheet and accompanying powerpoint presentation. There are 8 tasks designed to help pupils develop their understanding of the anatomy of flowering plants, including labelling diagrams, filling in the blanks, a hands on flower dissection, creative task and plenary questions. To deliver this lesson you will need to provide flowers such as lillies or daffodils and print the worksheet.

A flow chart for pupils to use to decide if something is an element (atomic or molecular), compound or mixture. Useful to generate pupil discussion about what the difference is between elements, compounds and mixtures.

A science placemat to print in A3 and laminate. Stick a few down on tables or around the edge of the room so pupils can use them as a self-help resource. Includes naming common equipment, units, drawing graphs, designing experiment and other core skills for science at KS3/4. Placemat is in Word format so feel free to edit it in any way you wish to suit your classes needs. NOTE: check format before printing- format may be skewed if opening in different versions of word so check before printing, you may have to rearrange things slightly.

Worksheet for balancing chemical equations. Used as a starter after a lesson on balancing equations. Pupils balance the equations using m&m's- they place the sweets in the blue boxes beneath the equations to visually represent each atom. Used about 3 share bags of m&m's with a class working in pairs. Delivered to a year 8 class but suitable for KS4 too.
