a simple heart jigsaw for pupils to cut out and rearrange helps them to learn the structure of the heart

a simple cloze activity on the main types of blood vessels, good for lower ability students

a selection of worksheets to guide pupils through a heart dissection

A SOW that can be slotted into any curriculum and a blank student learning log that you can use for any STEM project, the objectives link to the CREST criteria as well so will help you decide if your students meet the criteria for a CREST award.

the first half of the new AQA entry level science planning including the first component of physics, chemistry and biology should cover year 1 of teaching the course - including a lesson i developed that could be useful for a TDA and the long term plan for entry level that can be adapted.

a KS3 lesson where pupils play a guess who style game to identify each others symptoms and work out what disease they are suffering from. It then encourages pupils to think about what would happen if doctors made a misdiagnosis. it encourages pupils to think about different types of medical testing and allows for really good debate. This fits in well with the disease topic and worked brilliantly with my pupils.

A lesson including resources - I made for OCR entry level science - the cooking and cleaning module - although it can be adapted it looks at the effectiveness of washing powders- i intend a practical where they put prestained swatches of white cotton into beakers of warm water - stir it for a set amount of time and then rinse and dry the cloth - they mkae predictions about which brand of washing powder will be best and then see if they are correct - Data is a simple observation

an end of term activity based on the science of lighthouses - pupils need to build a circuit to light the lighthouses, and then complete some other challenges - all resources needed are included in the powerpoint - i built the lighthouses from lego - build instructions included, and got pupils to choose where they would put them as well - you could build the lighthouses with other resources though

An investigation lesson into what happens to your favourite sweets after you eat them, it gets pupils thinking about how science works and to think about what goes into some of the foods they eat, all resources included in the powerpoint including teachers notes for the experiment

A simple worksheet for first aid for pupils working at P scales and AFELS

Planning for pupils with severe learning disabilities based around the functional living skills criteria this would cover a block of 6 weeks, I have removed photos from the worksheet because I made them of relevant places the pupils visited and thought you would want to do the same for group 1 pupils I turn the same photos into cards they can point to. Also included are some assessment sheets that can be filled in every lesson for pupil tracking (format borrowed from another teacher but assessment critiera my own) and the scheme of work for a half term

A simple CSI lesson - I set up a crime scene with fake blood(made out of jelly and red food colouring and warm water or buy fake blood from the pound store) (i made a hand print, blood drops and a drag mark) a head, some weapons (cricket bat, rolling pin, toy gun) and a sealed packet of drugs (flour taped up in a plastic wallet) - the first lesson had pupils collecting evidence and the second had them analysing the blood splatter from the scene all resources needed are included in the powerpoint

A prewritten assignment for the OCR Cambridge technicals in science, Level 2 unit 8 science of health

A very low ability science lesson on hygiene it starts with matching the hygiene product to the part of the body used, then there is a body outline and some pictures of hygiene products (boy and girl themed) to match to the part of they body they use it on. Then a timetable to fill in of how often they use the particular product

Schemes of work for the whole year of AQA planning for the new entry level science course, second year of planning - for all component 2’s

A higher ability diffusion lesson for KS3 designed to include elements of collaborative learning, i designed it for an observation so it has all the elements in it that should help out including a progress check sheet and all necessary lesson resources there is a practical involved but that step can be skipped.

A really basic treating a cut worksheet for pupils with severe learning disabilities or for early years. I used it with pupils following the AFELS criteria

A planning sheet I made for the film canister rocket experiment, which is a fun end of term activity, but this is an experiment planning sheet that can be edited and used for any experiment, I have made an easier and harder version. I intend to print it A3 and give it to the pupils, thereby making a ready made display.

An 8 week homework project for science, encompassing a range of tasks, from watching a science video and reviewing it to producing a revision card on a subject they have been studying. Can fit any year group and covers a range of subjects, vould be adapted for any other subect in school too, pupils hand in work as they complete it, so is easily tracked and activiely engages them in work, i tried this at my school and got significantly more homework handed in and some really creative pieces of work completed

A resource specifically designed to help BTEC students on principles of applied science pass part of Unit 4 learning aim A. This uses a simulation scenario where pupils have a population of dinosaurs on an island (counters are included if you don't have access to toy dinosaurs, however any toy animal would do). They then have some action cards to act out on their island (these are cut up shuffled and split into half) monitoring the number of dinosaurs at each turn. They can then draw a population graph and answer the questions in the booklet that progress up to Distinction or A grade, also included is a peer assessment sheet, this doesn't mention grades it uses pictures of dinosaurs instead however they correspond to pass, merit and distinction (or C,B and A). I find modelling populations and their changes in this way really helps pupils (especially lower ability pupils) grasp the concept of what factors affect populations better than any other way I have tried to teach the topic.
