All you need to deliver the lesson in unit 8C Doctors and Disease in Exploring Science. The power point includes: What are microbes? How are microbes useful. Mini-Plenary Diseases and spread mechanisms Virtual experiment: disease transmission. Body defences. Beating infections. I used it in distance learning and it worked really well. I hope it helps.

This power point offers the most important bits to deliver the lessons in unit 7H Materials from the Earth in Exploring Science Coursebook. It could be used for revision of the properties of rocks and weathering. I hope it helps.

Everything you need to deliver seven plant practical activities. Easily adaptable and suitable for Year 7, 8 and 9. Some would also be suitable in year 10. The slides for each activity include the apparatus needed, method, results and conclusion. They can also be performed as demonstrations and most of them can be used in distance learning. What happens to plants in the absence of light? – This practical can be done in the lab or sent to do it at home in a distance learning approach as little material is needed. It can also be shown as a demonstration. Leaves under the microscope Roots for food: web exploring activity that can be easily performed in distance learning. Seeds feeling gravity: lab activity although it is simple enough to be performed in distance learning. Transport of water in celery: 2 lab activities included. It could be performed at home with food colouring. Investigating different colours of light in photosynthesis – theoretically. Can be done in distance learning. All the information given for student to work out on their own the apparatus, risks, results and conclusion. Check the slides’ notes for some extra info about the activity. Some coincide with Cambridge Science textbook/scheme of work, but can be used alongside any other SOW. All pictures have been sourced from the creative commons website. Please, contact me if you have any doubt. Constructive feedback would be much appreciated!

Everything you need to deliver 6 Biology practical activities in the lab. Easily adaptable and suitable for Year 7, 8 and 9. Some would also be suitable in GCSE. The slides for each activity include the apparatus needed, method, results and conclusion/evaluation. I have been using these 6 activities in KS3 for several years now and they work very well, they are one hour long approximately. They can also be performed as demonstrations. Heart and lung dissection Burning Candles Measuring cardiac output - this practical does not require a lab and could also be conducted in an online lesson. Respiration in Yeast Proper use of the microscope. Growing bacteria: this is one of my favourites because they enjoy it a lot. Check the slides’ notes for some extra info. Coincides with Exploring Science textbook/scheme of work, but can be used alongside any other SOW. Technician notes and basic risk assessment are included for all practical activities in an excel document. All pictures have been sourced from the creative commons website. Constructive feedback would be much appreciated.

Everything you need to deliver a whole unit of plants for Year 8. Easily adaptable and suitable for Year 7, 9 and for an online learning approach. The topic is divided in 7 parts: Photosynthesis: lesson + mini plenary based on an exit ticket. Leaves: lesson + mini plenary based on an activity to boost the students’ memory with a label exercise. Two investigations that can be followed without lab practical so that it can also be easily done in online learning. Roots: lesson + 3 self-assessment questions Transport of water and minerals: lesson End of unit questions Revision: 20 minutes of revision activities + slides for students to check the right answers. It can be used as revision or assessment. Several slides contain notes with suggestions for the lessons such as starters, links with other topics or opportunities for differentiation. Coincides with Cambridge Checkpoint textbook/scheme of work, but can be used alongside any other SOW. There are two documents with the relevant images for printing and a target list for students to revise. All pictures have been sourced from the creative commons website. Constructive feedback would be much appreciated.

Lesson in power point to cover diffusion, osmosis and active transport for GCSE Biology. It follows the Cambridge Endorsed Textbook by Jones and Jones. The lesson includes the questions within the unit and the end of unit questions.

This power point shows some basic activities to be done with the app iCircuit. It is a great opportunity for KS3 science students as the can build easily parallel and series circuits and then some more complex ones with more components. The last slide offers a final task about Galvani and Volta’s work.

These power points include the guidelines for a project about “Classification and Variation” following the Exploring Science Textbook for Year 7. Some of the terms covered for students to research are: classification, inherited variation, environmental variation, animal kingdom and plant kingdom. It can be easily edited so that it forms a big project or it can be divided into smaller tasks depending on time availability. It can also be adapted to use in year 8/9.

This power point covers the Biology Unit for “Classification” following the Exploring Science Textbook for Year 7. Some of the terms covered are: classification, variation, hybrids, animal kingdom and plant kingdom.

This is a power point lesson for Year 7 Science to explain the Solar System. It follows the Exploring Science textbook.

This is a power point lesson for Year 7 Science to explain and practice series and parallel circuits. It follows the Exploring Science textbook.

This power point guides students (mainly year 7 Science) through a model of electricity. They can also create in pairs their own model paying attention to represent the different parts in a circuit.

This power point contains the Biology questions for Biology GCSE 0654 Cambridge syllabus (winter 2017). It also has the answers and the marks awarded. It is a great revision tool for students in the classroom or as online learning activity.

Short power point presentation to teach safety when handling electricity. Students can prepare information in a poster or in their workbook following the guidelines. This resource is for Science year 7. Unit 7J in Exploring Science.

This power point contains the Biology questions for Biology GCSE 0654 Cambridge syllabus (summer 2016). It also has the answers and the marks awarded. It is a great revision tool for students in the classroon or as online learning activity.

Slides to teach the full unit for respiration and gas exchange for GCSE Biology following the Cambridge syllabus. It includes: Aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration. Respiratory system. Gas exchange. Breathing movements. It also includes the slides I share with my students for them to complete while taking notes. The quiz at the start needs to be used in presentation mode for the links to work.

Power point with a 1 hour lesson about gas exchange in humans, breathing mechanism and differences between inhaled and exhaled air. Aimed to GCSE biology students. It follows CIE syllabus.
