Introduce ionic and covalent bonding using the animated PowerPoint. Get students to explain what is happening at each stage. Worksheet challenges students to recall electron arrangements for atoms and identify products of reactions. Finally students identify the type of bond formed. As an extension, students could give their own examples. This lesson should follow an introduction to atomic structure.

Students are introduced to the different microorganisms and their contrasting structure. Students compare the scale of the microorganisms to familiar objects. Students will then research the microorganisms further and present their findings scientifically (using one of 6 randomly selected scientific formats).

The presentation considers the adaptation of Villi to perform their role. Investigate how the structure of Villi make it effective at absorbing water and nutrients. The worksheet explores digestive enzymes and assesses the students understanding.

Use for an exam success assembly, presentation or tutor talk. Includes a diet survey. Tell students this is for a future excursion for honest responses to the menu. Discuss sensible choices using the feedback sheet.

Practise a controlled assessment or practical in a fun and engaging way. Simple activity requiring effervescent tablets, balances, conical flask, rubber bungs and water. The worksheet encourages students to reflect on method and use data to support a conclusion. Students will identify equipment, control variables and write a method (hint sheet provided). Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.

Worksheets supporting chapter 1 of the Collins revision guide. Ideal as homework task or complete lesson. Topics include: Physical characteristics, Human characteristics Data collection, Geological timescales and plate tectonics. Answers are included.

Powerpoint online not supported A PowerPoint based assessment consisting of 50 questions from the new Spec. If Macros are enabled the quiz is self marking and give feedback based on weak topics and areas for improvement. Ideal for end of year assessment to identify areas of weakness or gaps in knowledge. May be delivered by a non specialist in an ICT room and answer sheet is included to support them. Students could research the topics suggested when they have finished the assessment. Also available: Physics and Chemistry see my shop Discount for buying as a Bundle.

Students are introduced to the history of the battery and how it works. Students make a salt battery using readily available equipment (salt, steel foil, graphite rods, card, water, plastic beaker). Use a multi meter (set to (milliamp) to test the effectiveness of their batteries.

Practise a controlled assessment or practical in a fun and engaging way. Simple activity requiring a kettle, ice, boiling tubes, large beakers, salt, water, stop watch and thermometers. The worksheet encourages students to reflect on writing the method and using data to support the conclusion. Students will identify equipment, control variables and write a method (hint sheet provided). Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.

Students research factors for or against using regular cooking oil as a fuel source. Students present their findings to the group and the teacher is able to monitor any changes in attitude during the course of the lesson. Resources are accessible and presented using familiar scientific formats.

Presentation identifying vector and scalar quantities including interactive vector search. Snakes and ladders activity for calculating distance travelled and displacement (ruler and dice required). Thanks for looking. TommyC - Making science accessible to all.

Perform the pH practical activity to test the suggested chemicals and / or display slide 3 for those that you cannot test. Print slide 2 for students who must colour the pH scale and place the chemicals alongside the periodic table. As a plenary ask students to record which chemicals will neutralise each other (e.g. wasp sting --> Bee Sting).

Introduces students to the vastness of Space. Students create a scale for the planets using the space data. Good opportunity for numeracy and practical if you can get hold of some play-dough (recipe included).

Practise a controlled assessment in a fun and engaging way. Simple safe practical requiring Sugar, cups, hot and cold water. Train students to identify risks, control variables and write a method. Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.

Introduces Friction and streamlining with an emphasis on writing control variables. Students must identify variables to control and justify them. Remind them that the Independent variable changes, the dependent variable is measured and everything else is controlled.

Practise a controlled assessment in a fun and engaging way. Simple safe practical requiring salt, cups, ice, thermometers and water. Train students to identify equipment, control variables and write a method. Refer to slide 1 for lesson plan.

Worksheets to supplement the popular Collins KS3 revision book or stand alone research activity. Consolidate learning with these worksheets and make it feel more like a lesson than a reading exercise. Chapter 1 Britain 1066 - 1509 topics: The Norman Conquest, Christendom and the Crusades, Magna Carta, The black Death, The Peasants Revolt. Please give 5 star and I will upload Chapter 2.

Transcription and Translation activity simplified for low to moderate ability or high ability starter activity. Turn a strand of DNA into a sequence of Amino Acids then translate these into a protein. Extension activity explores the effects of mutations and the beneficial or limiting effects of this. Students could explain what they have done for a plenary.

An introduction to earthquakes and the waves generated. Take some time to build the Jelly baby wave generator (instructions and hints included

A PowerPoint with supporting instructions, starter and extension activities. Best if you use tealight candles. Encourages students to consider variables and to make accurate measurements. Students draw a graph to show their results. If students are difficult to motivate then ask them to estimate how long a candle would last in a specific volume (i.e. 300ml beaker) which they will have to produce a graph to extrapolate or interpolate to find this out. You could test a 300ml beaker at the end to test this. The extension activity promotes higher level scientific thought. It is unknown if the carbon dioxide smothers the candle or if the oxygen runs out first. Most students will say the taller candle as this will last longer!
