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.

This is lesson 4 of the Cells and movement unit in Activate 1. It includes a powerpoint presentation, starting activity, Sheets to label, SEN literacy support and images to stick in books to break up chunks of text. I do plan to make this part of a bundle when I have finished planning the whole unit, where I will include flashcards for revision too (hopefully by the end of November 2018)

Whole lesson and resources for lesson three (Joints) of the Activate 1 book unit ‘Movement and cells’ . Included is the Powerpoint presentation, table for practical Clipart (for students to cut and stick to break up their text) and an SEN literacy support sheet. For this lesson you will need access to several scales that measure in newtons. A model of a skeleton would be useful too, but is not essential.

We are following the Activate 1 (New 2016) book. This is the lesson I created to deliver lesson 5 Gravity. You are purchasing the Powerpoint only which I made, but I have included the worksheets I used in the lesson to make it easier for you. If you like this lesson I will be putting all of the lessons from the first unit in a bundle, complete with revision resources for the end-of-unit test. All of the money received from sales is spent on resources for students

This is a set of five Powerpoint presentations which covers 10 lessons. It breaks down the assessment criteria into manageable chunks with instructions on which parts to complete in each session. It should help to keep the students on-track, so no-one falls behind. The presentations should be printed off and given to the students (or emailed to them) so they can use them to guide their own study.

AQA GCSE Biology Homeostasis introduction

No text books are needed for this session. This is a gentle introduction to homeostasis that I created for my lower ability year 10s. There are a few slides where they need to take notes (print off for some students) There is a 6 minute video (the lovely amoeba sisters) overview of homeostasis. I have included a question sheet (answers in powerpoint) so students are answering questions as they watch. A short exam question at the end to test understanding - then a quick plenary question session to check recall of the main points. The exam question is basic - you may want to replace this for a higher ability class.
