Outstanding Science in a box

Average Rating4.49
(based on 34 reviews)

I specialise in general science resources for KS3 and KS4 and biology for KS5. I try to make my resources suitable for non-specialists and teachers new to the subject, by including answers to any questions and full step-by-step explanations. I love flashcards and try to make a set for each unit I deliver. I am in the process of upgrading these to colour coded (differentiated) sets. All newly added resources will have a remote-learning version too (just in case :-))

I have created a series of science skills lessons for my KS3 students. I have created remote learning versions of all the lessons that do not involve practicals. Most lessons have a literacy support document to support those students who find it difficult to write for sustained periods. Suitable for specialists and non-specialist How to tackle long answer questions (remote version included) Controls and control variables (remote version included) Following a method (not suitable to set remotely) Critical thinking (remote version included) The scientific method (remote version included) Scientific terminolgy (remote version included)6

These are the lessons for the Activate 1 (New book) scheme of work. Each lesson has a powerpoint which guides you through the lesson. Most lessons are suitable for non-specialists as answers to any questions on the powerpoint are included. Starting activities are a mixture of literacy, numeracy and scientific thinking. Most lessons have ‘literacy support sheets’ for SEN students and those who struggle to write quickly. There are differentiated double-sided flashcards to prepare for end of unit tests. Chromatography lesson is not included as I did not create a new lesson for this but re-used a colleague’s lesson.
