I can never seem to find the right periodic table for my students so have made one ideal for KS3/4. Relative atomic mass is only measured to 1d.p. for elements such as Chlorine. Lanthinoids and Actinoides are ignored. Elements are not given capital letters. UK spelling. Relative atomic mass is shown above the chemical symbol. Includes livermorium and flerovium, moscovium etc. Colour coded groups. Groups 1-8 labelled.

Four adapted articles covering; Antibiotic resistance, Ebola virus outbreak, Facebook's unethical research, and the destruction of the coral reef food chain. I use these as posters in my form room but they can be used for a variety of different uses. literacy, reading, news

Great little plenary chooser that your pupils will get used to fast. I recommend picking up a few D20 dice (10 for £3 on ebay) and giving one to each group. Then when you want to check understanding either at the end or part way through a lesson they roll the dice and do the corresponding activity. Pupils enjoy having a semblance of control but you still get the required plenary. If you want a more controlled experience have one pupil roll the dice and every pupil has to do that specific plenary. Digital dice rollers are also available online.

Written for myself, but my fellow NQTs liked it so I thought Id post it up here. NO excel skills required. Automatically colour codes your registers by gender, SEN status and target level/grade.

In this activity plan you will find the SOC codes to import my quiz to your Socrative room. this quiz is designed for introducing the software to KS3 or 4 groups or to colleagues to enable them to also take advantage of this great resource. This is a great resource that you can use with the whole class as starters, plenaries. ! If you are not familiar with Socrative, I explain the key steps of this great interactive teaching tool.
