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 :-))

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.

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.

Revision flashcards C1 Atomic structure AQA chemistry GCSE

(0)
This is a set of 54 double sided flashcards (print double sided, flip long edge) on the atomic structure unit. I have colour coded them (blue = easiest, green = harder, red = hardest), so you can differentiate by asking different groups to focus on learning different colour groups. I’ve made these for my year 9’s end of unit test, but I will also be using them with my year 11s for revision.

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.
