This resource can be used in the middle of the topic or given for H/W to assess the students knowledge without the need to give a full test. This should hopefully help you to assess any weaker areas before finishing the topic.

These knowledge organisers include all the knowledge the students need with a few questions at the end of the lesson. They would be ideal for cover work, homework or a revision resource. I have included all the answers on a PPT too.

These knowledge organisers challenge prior knowledge and then give the knowledge with a few test questions at the end. There is a slide with answers for all the questions too

This is a lesson that was used for a year 7 group where they mainly looked at gel cubes which were dyed with phenolphthalein and acid was dropped on different sized cubes to see rate of diffusion. I focused on the Skills side of the lesson and it was rated outstanding . I hope you find it useful.

A scheme of work to introduce science to 4th grade students. I have created a booklet that goes with this which is mainly taken from exploring science unit which has been included. The 11 powerpoints with these have also been added along with the scheme of work and booklet.

This resource has been created to help in the first year 7 module for safety and Sc1. It has been updated to include the booklet as well as the PPT and the scheme of work

A fun lesson used on a core curriculum evening to give a sample lesson to parents. This involves the parents and students working together to investigate the best techniques used to cool down tea. This lesson was done in 20 minute slots to 3 separate groups but can be stretched out to a full lesson. It includes a fun voice over activity at the end where students need to use their imagination and science skills to try and make a voice over for a man cooling tea in an unusual way. Enjoy

This lesson achieved an outstanding grade during observation and the students thoroughly enjoyed learning about bath bombs and carbonates and acid. It is aimed at a lower group but can easily be tweaked for middle or higher groups. The worksheets are differentiated and can be found within the powerpoint. There is also a designing a bath bomb sheet within the powerpoint too. I hope your students enjoy this as much as mine did.

These tests for the whole of ages 11-14 to test them on the key topics. They blend poster style assessment with SATS style assessments

This is appropriate for students aged 11-14 for their science curriculum. It blends three years work into 2 and a bit years. It gives good ideas for your lessons and still gives teachers the ability to teach freely with their own ideas and to stay focused on core ideas

A useful writing frame especially for lower ability which can be tweaked to suit all abilities and helps to scaffold the learning of science students

A sc1 lesson based on cooling Tea. This was taken from an idea by OCR as practice coursework

A lesson based around a fictional character. It looks deeply into how particles behave in a metal and relates them to properties

AN ACTIVITY THAT I MADE UP TO DO BEFORE THE SATS EXAM. IT WORKS WELL BEFORE THE 2009 SATS PAPER because of the topics

I cut up a 'CGP revision guide&' and set up 3 separate revision sessions. One for Biology, one for chem and one for physics. Basically the students go around with these revision questions and around the room are the Biology notes spread out with some demonstrations. They then do the same for the other 2 revision sessions to help them with their year 9 exams.

A good worksheet about neutralising and it leads on to neutralising stomach acid

A good ppt about how strong or weak acid is

A great ppt about indicators
