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 :-))

Activate 1 Matter: Particle model and separating mixtures Year 7 KS3 chemistry

16 Resources
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.

49 revision flashcards AQA physics Energy P1 differentiated GCSE including equations

(0)
This is a set of flashcards created for the Energy unit for AQA Physics. The flashcards are double-sided (flip on long edge), so the answer is on the reverse of each card, and are colour-coded with blue cards being the easiest, green mid-difficulty and red the most challenging. With my lowest ability groups I ask them to learn the blue cards as a minimum. My higher ability groups learn the blue cards first, then the green and red cards. There are also some ‘apply’ cards where students have to use their knowledge of the equations.

Specific Heat Capacity theory (ideal for non specialists) prior to required practical AQA GCSE

Specific Heat Capacity theory (ideal for non specialists) prior to required practical AQA GCSE

(0)
I am a non specialist, and I really struggled with SHC. I needed to plan my own lesson from the text book and break it down into simple steps. This lesson is all of the information on specific heat capacity in the AQA text book, building from first principles. All of the questions asked in the powerpoint have the answers on the next slide. It worked a treat with my high ability year 9s as a theory lesson prior to completing the required practical.

These are 29 flashcards (print double sided - flip on long edge) for the Activate 1 (2016 edition) book Electromagnets: Potential Difference and Resistance. I have updated these to colour-code them for differentiation. Blue spotted questions are the easiest, then green spotted questions. Red spotted questions are the most difficult. There is a sheet which explains how to use the flashcard five tick method.
