All resources are planned thoroughly and are easily adapted for a range of learners.
Lessons are sequenced to support long term retrieval of key information.
Lessons are sequenced to prevent congnitive overload and are particularly effective for LPA/MPA and SEND learners as a result.

This lesson follows AQA GCSE Specification for Exothermic and ENdothermic Reaction Required Practical. There is a HT/FT differentiated starter activity.
This is approximately 2 hours of content for most groups, but can be condensed/extended if necessary.
The lesson contains core required information on exothermic and endothermic reactions, their respective reaction profiles, and an example integrated instruction worksheet for a practical inquiry for exothermic and endothermic reactions to support learner agency and resilience.
There is AFL throughout using GCSE application questions, hinge questioning (E.g., what is wrong with a piece of extended writing relating to a GCSE 6-mark response) and evaluation questions for the practical inquiry. All questions have answers in the notes.
This lesson focuses on AQA GCSE Chemistry - specification of electrolysis and half equations for higher tier students.
The lesson includes a simplistic visual scaffold to support this complex topic for students to use to access exam questions.
There is regular assessment for learning using AQA GCSE exam questions to check for understanding and a range of activities to engage a range of students.
A thorough revision resource for AQA GCSE Combined Science (Foundation Tier). The resource has teacher-led explanation, quizes embedded (GCSE questions), and a worksheet that can be printed at the end of the slides.
The resource is exceptionally handy for low and mid prior attaining students and should be taught over a 2-3 hour period. Students respond very well to this resource.
The resource includes: a key-term match up, subatomic particles, ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding (and properties), giant covalent structure properties, simple molecules, ionic lattices, alloys, Mendeleev, periodic table basics, pH, naming salts, soluble salts RP, electrolysis.
This revision lesson includes:
Key terminology match-up do it now
Subatomic particle and electronic configuration
Ionic bonding
Ionic compound properties
Covalent Bonding
Simple Molecules
Giant Covalent Structures
Metallic Bonding
Fullerenes
GCSE Multiple Choice Exam Questions throughout (AFL)
The lesson comes with a revision poster (at the end of the slides) to be printed for students to complete throughout the lesson.
The revision lesson is highly effective at summarising the C2 - Bonding, structure and properties of matter module for AQA GCSE Chemsitry. All slides are applciable for FT and HT.
AQA GCSE Chemsitry Paper 2: Rates of Reaction: Knowledge Organiser Revision Posters for all students, only includes Foundation Tier content.
Document contains 3 revision posters summarising the whole module for FT students
Students find this summarised version of lessons very useful for revision purposes and exam success.
This document includes a minimum of 7 sessions for a STEM CLub enrichment opportunity.
The weeks include:
Growing food from seed - students are tasked to isolate and plant tomato and chilli seeds.
Biodiversity Experts - students use the catch-release-re-catch technique to estimate the population of woodlice in your school ecosystem.
**Treasure Hunt - Students de-code riddles to find co-ordinates on a treasure map which correspond to coordinates at your school.
Electricity Generation - Students design and manufacture a water wheel to link to electricity generation in past centuries
Fishing for food - students dissect fish to undertsand organs and organ systems.
Hygiene Hiatus - Students use eggs and coconut to design new toothpaste in the absence of toothpaste on the tropical island.
Water Purification - Students are tasked to used evaporation and filtration to purify sandy salt water.
These sessions includes a dual-coded integrated instruction method worksheet to support student agency in the laboratory for every session.
These resources have been trialled and work effectively at embedding a STEM Curriculum at your school.
Practical inquiry must first undergo risk assessments in your department and be performed only with trained professionals, I accept no responsibility for what is done following the download of this resource - this resource is an example only and teacher’s must ensure their own safety measures are followed. **I take no responsibility for practical elements of this lesson – teachers must complete their own risk assessments and are entirely responsible for the safety of students. **
This bundle contains all lessons required for AQA GCSE quantitative chemistry unit (Higher tier combined).
The lessons include simplistic structures for students to follow and to aid to scaffold complex topics.
This unit is great for teachers who may not have taught this topic and to gain confidence ahead of teaching to pupils.
If practicals are outlined, it is entirely the teacher’s responsibility to risk assess these and uphold values of scientific practical safety.
This bundle includes all lessons required to be taught to students in the Bonding, Stucture, and Properties of Matter unit (C2) for Chemistry Paper 1.
These lessons are all visual lessons which support all learners to access the curriculum, pushing students as well as scaffolding where appropriate
The lesson follows AQA GCSE Chemistry specification (Bonding, Structure, and Properties of matter unit) with GCSE Exam questions as assessment for learning throughout, as well as a number of other fun and engaging activities to support learner agency and exam paper accessibility.
These lessons are an effective and balanced mixture of teacher-led explanation, student AFL, literacy approaches, student exam questions and pair discussions.
This unit has proved highly successful at increasing pupil engagement, and increasing exam outcomes.

A module consisting of all lessons for AQA GCSE Chemistry: Rates of Reaction (foundation tier-based).
The bundle consists of all content from AQA GCSE Specification for combined sciece 5.6.1. - 5.6.2.3.
This module does not include HT content (Changing conditions and equilibrium, changing concentration, temperature on equilbrium, pressure on equilbrium).
The bundle also includes GCSE Revision knowledge organisers (Foundation Tier)
This Bundle contains all lessons for AQA GCSE Bonding, Structure, and Properties of Matter (Combined Science)
This bundle also contains revision lessons, knowledge organisers, and revision materials for students to utilise to optimise exam success.
