An introduction to laws of reflection before instructions on how to make a kaleidoscope. Good for a KS3 or low ability KS4 group. Lots of fun and the disposable mirrors are relatively cheap to get hold of.

A couple of presentations to help look at the factors that vary between different habitats. The concept of biotic and abiotic factors is considered, along with stable communities. The presentations have linked worksheets. There are alternative versions of the PowerPoint to support those with versions of Office that don't support some of the font Also available as part of a bundle

A fully resourced lesson, including practical on formulations. The presentation introduces the theory of formulations before students try to create a formulation of oil, water and emulsifier that takes a required time to separate. This time can be adjusted as required. There are two versions of the same PowerPoint for those who have versions that do not support some fonts

The third lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. Simple energy level diagrams are introduced and the concept of braking bonds being and endothermic process and making bonds an exothermic process is discussed. The idea of why a reaction eventually is exo or endo is then considered. A fully resourced lesson that can be taught stand alone

A presentation and resources to teach the difference between global warming and climate change and to consider the consequences of climate change. Lesson 5 on the AQA unit for Chemistry of the atmosphere, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson

The fourth lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic – Bond energies are discussed and the combustion of methane is used to take pupils through the process of bond energy calculations before examples are provided for the students to try. A fully resourced lesson that can be taught stand alone. Answers are included.

A presentation to teach the importance of evolution of algae and plants and the part played by the oceans in the development of the atmosphere. This is lesson three in the chemistry of the atmosphere unit for AQA, but can be taught as a stand alone lesson. Activities with answers are provided on the presentation.

The second lesson in a series of 4 for the C5 topic - Energy Changes. The everyday uses of exothermic and endothermic reactions are discussed and I usually bring in examples of these for the pupils to see / touch. The presentation has several examples and also an extended written question to compare a single use hand warmer with a reusable one. The lesson is fully resourced and can be delivered as a stand alone lesson

A lesson to take pupils through the effects of carbon monoxide and global dimming. There are assessment opportunists within the presentation and a worksheet on the the cause and effect of global dimming. This is the 9 lesson in the series for the AQA unit on Chemistry of the atmosphere, but it can be taught as a stand alone lesson

A presentation with questions linked to the Organic Chemistry unit of the new AQA 1-9 course. There are assessment opportunities and worksheets that can be printed from the PowerPoint

A presentation that introduces detrivores and decomposers in the topic of material cycling. The pupil sheet links to the presentation and there is an opportunity to annotate the diagram based on hints given on one of the slides. I have included an alternative version of the presentation for those with versions of PowerPoint that do not support some of the fonts This resource is also available as part of a bundle

A presentation with resources to introduce the unit on chemistry of the atmosphere. The idea of the changes in the atmosphere over time are introduced and present composition is discussed. Activities and answers, where appropriate, are included. This is the first in the series of lessons for the AQA unit on chemistry of the atmosphere, but it can be taught as a stand alone lesson

A lesson that covers the circuit symbols used in the AQA trilogy / physics course 2016, but could easily be adapted for any syllabus or KS3. There are assessment opportunities, practical activities and a worksheet included in the resource

Revision clocks for 4 of the 5 units for chemistry paper 1. Each unit is split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

The last 3 units for the Biology Paper 2 split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

The first 4 units for the Physics Paper 1 split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

A presentation and worksheets to deliver the AQA required practical on temperature change. There are differentiated sheets to help with the graph drawing component of the activity, and some questions related to a linked video. Teacher / technician / students notes included, have been adapted from the AQA material.

The last 3 units for the Physics Paper 2 split into sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

The first 4 units of the Biology Paper 1 split into 12 sub sections. Pupils are to spend no more than 4/5 minutes on each section to try and ensure that the whole of a topic is covered.

A presentation, worksheet and assessment questions on adaptations in plants. Planned to be taught to a mixed ability GCSE group and linked to the New AQA Syllabus 2016. There are two versions of the PowerPoint - one supports older versions that do not have some of the fonts in my original presentation Also available as part of a bundle.
