I am a TES recommended author and a UK Science teacher with a Chemistry specialism.
You'll find various KS3 and KS4 Science resources here (Biology, Physics and Chemistry) as well as some A level Chemistry stuff. I try to make my lessons visually appealing, with clear diagrams and text and a variety of different tasks.
If you have any suggestions of resources you'd like to see uploaded, I'd be happy to hear from you.

2 x Energy keyword match-up Do Nows.
Each activity involves students matching keywords to their definitions and then answering questions or correcting a paragraph.
1. The first tests students on types of energy, with keywords such as 'kinetic energy', 'thermal energy' and 'light energy' and then asks questions on useful and wasted energy transfers.
2. The second tests students on energy transfer process, with keywords such as 'conduction', 'convection', 'radiation' and 'vacuum' and asks students to correct spelling and grammar mistakes in a paragraph.
