This is lesson 1 in the new Bioenergetics topic for AQA new 9-1 Trilogy and Biology specification. Written by an experienced teacher, writer and examiner, for teachers to teach a whole lesson at KS4. This lesson contains all elements for an outstanding lesson, with maximum student involvement and minimal teacher consolidation (just the chalk and talk that is necessary). Teaches the equation and keywords, test for starch with instructions for a practical/demo. Learning intention: To explain photosynthesis with an equation, naming reactant and products. Includes a tool for the demonstration of progress, activities for the students, mini plenaries to ensure students are understanding as you go along, an optional practical or demonstration, printable support mats to have available in the room (fantastic if you don’t have any or enough text books) and revision cards to give the students to take away and revise with (the revision cards are available to purchase as whole topics).

AQA GCSE Chemistry Topic 1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table summary notes GCSE content review with notes in small chunks to help students revise. This FREE resource will help students revise and make their own resources, ensuring the whole curriculum is covered and that there are no gaps. Students can make their own question and answer flashcards or revision cards from this thorough coverage of information. Student friendly, concise resource. Suitable for higher and foundation, combined science and single science - all clearly labelled.

This resource is one of my active revision card activities on 'Controlling Body Temperature'. Aimed at the new 9-1 AQA specification for single sciences, but the content looks like it would suit all exam boards. My active revision cards include a 'Do' and 'Review' slide, where the 'review' assists the student with the whole content for the lesson and the 'do' makes the learning more active and challenges students to recall the keywords etc for the lesson. The document is very versatile, can support the flipped learning environment as an instructional slide. Can be printed on half a sheet of A4, a great size as take away revision cards, also good size for a starter for the next lesson or a plenary at the end of the lesson. The resource also makes a good support mat printed on a full A4 sheet. This is one document from a pack of my premium resources. I hope this will help students and teachers with teaching and learning.

New AQA GCSE Biology 9-1 specification. Topic 5 - Homeostasis and Response is very large so I am splitting into two packs this is part 1. Topic 5 part 1. This pack covers all of these theory topics; homeostasis, the nervous system, synapses and reflexes, the brain, the eye, correcting vision defects, negative feedback. The brain and an eye picture will need sourcing by the students - a fun activity has been suggested within the pack (in the notes at the bottom of slide) for the students to practise these drawings and create their own - it will really get them learning! These cards are useful for students to use for revision (print 2 to a page), and for teachers to use in a lesson as an activity or plenary. Good instructional material for a flipped classroom. Includes a 'Do' and 'Review' slide, the 'Do' will check understanding and make the learning more active, the 'Review' can help students check answers and act as a revision card. Equally works well as a starter for the next lesson to check retention. Many uses e.g. support mats, starter, plenary, revision etc.

Various fractions activities that will appeal to students. Aimed at year 4/5 but applicable to any part of KS2. In powerpoint format, ready for using as whole class- INCLUDES teaching content slides. I use for whole class and 1:1. Contains: Identify fractions of shapes - as a bingo activity Tenths - as a game of 9s activity Non-unit fractions - as Kim's Game A practical activity is included to give the children time to move about - This will need adapting to your situation and you may need to supply items such as metre rules or recipes etc - but easily adapted to your own resources - this is more of an adaptable idea. Equivalent fractions and simplifying - optional - build a fraction wall - odd one out game also included - missing numbers worksheet Find fractions of - question slides for answers on whiteboards Real life fractions of quantities worksheet (wordy) Venn Diagram activity to discuss how fractions and numbers are similar and different Star Pass Exit Challenge - a mini assessment to see what the children have learnt, what might need going over again - and input to planning a revision lesson I have some tarsias as well, a dominoes plus a pyramid, please email me as I couldn't upload them.

Bioenergetics - A complete set of information mats AND worksheets/ work mats for students to collect and organise the information they require to meet the AQA specification. No books or other sources required as I have written all materials to work together and allow the students to work independently. All content included trilogy/biology, foundation/higher. All answer sheets are also included. Photosynthesis The Rate of Photosynthesis - Limiting Factors (1) The Rate of Photosynthesis - Limiting Factors (2) Light Intensity and rate calculations Respiration Metabolism and Exercise Also available as active revision cards in my shop.

Forces and Motion Work Mats - Includes an answer sheets. Please leave a review! Includes; Distance, Displacement, Speed, Velocity; Distance-Time Relationship; Acceleration; Terminal Velocity; Newton’s Laws; stopping distance; momentum; a card sort; calculations pracise; formulae recognition. Suggestions below to - USE these is an outstanding lesson. An information mat AND worksheet/ work mat for students to collect and organise the information they require for the Newton’s Laws lesson. No books or other resources required for this activity as I have written all materials to work together and allow the students to work independently. Other science topics have been written and available, some for free some paid for. There are many uses for this resource depending on ability High Ability Higher sets are asked to read the review sheet as homework before the lesson, perhaps asking for a word glossary or mind map to be produced. The starter for the lesson would be to complete the work mat from memory, then switch to another colour to complete using the Information Mat (review). The rest of the lesson I ask a high ability set to apply the knowledge. Low Ability Lower sets are able to independently complete the work using the Information mat (review) and work mat together, they can read and simply find the answers.

Glycolysis and the Link Reaction Double Lesson Learning intention: To describe the process and site of glycolysis and the link reaction Can easily be split into two lessons if required. Works well in flipped learning or by a traditional method. This was written to meet the OCR A specification but looks like it would meet the requirements of other exam boards or could be easily tweaked. Resources include take away active revision cards for students, which double up as sources of information and can be issued the lesson prior to turn into a flipped learning environment - they read all the information they need, then spend the lesson learning it further/ applying it/ using it. Plenty of activities for students to learn and demontrate progress.
