Currently selling and providing free resources for all three sciences, predominantly for GCSE, although there are some KS3 and A level chemistry resources available. Lots of the resources focus on differentiation and exam technique as I feel there is a profession- wide weakness in these areas.

this could also be called verbal tennis/ hockey or whatever, depending on the sex distribution of your class.
I have graded the teacher questions so that you have the option to choose which member of the team answers.
as always, any comments or suggested improvements are greatly appreciated
for various complicated reasons, I am currently home-schooling both my children, aged 10 and 7, and found that this differentiated task worked well for both. Suggested answers are included, along with a suggested website. Good as a revision or overview activity.
for a medium to low ability class. the one leabelled 'les' just has fewer cells in it for lower ability. This could be differentiated further by taking out other cells. I reckonit would be good for a revision lesson or a homework. The students can sort the labels into at table, labelled &'cell&'; (picture), 'function&' and &';adaptations'.
Starter based on real exam question and real responses as an Afl style activity. I have attempted to highlight the misconceptions and mixed concepts the students exhibit when answering exam questions. Based on AQA, but would work for other boards
suggested uses:
Use as a starter: students to select which they think is the best answer (quick starter), for a longer task, they are then to decide why the other answers are less than perfect
This could be extended to be the focus of a whole lesson, if you use the question as a starter, go through the concepts and re-visit at the end of the lesson to see if the students have changed their minds.
Commentary on student answers are included.
topics include: refraction (yr 8), the eye (year 8), cells, acids and alkalis (yr 7) and forces and motion (year 7)
useful for revision or as a plenary
desired otucome is consolidation of previously learnt material
use for a triple group for revision. enjoy (as they did - I actually got them singing it!) - the 'rap' part starts as 'Fritz haber he made the invention' - I hope that makes sense
an adaptation of a resource (to the same tune) that I downloaded many years ago - I’m sorry I can no longer find it to credit the author. It has been modified and I know hope that it contains most of the information needed for the new course about alkenes and their reactions for a good way to end a lesson on alkenes or for part of a revision lesson.
