a simple lesson about level 4-6 on natural defences including levelled antibody comics as a main task

a selection of levelled afl tasks on reproduction and the foetus, good end of topic activities

a cut and stick activity where pupils sequence the process used to identify the victims of natural disasters like the asian tsunami, helps pupils realise the importance of science

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 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 lesson about enzymes for the new edexcel GCSE spec, includes progress check sheet and all necessary lesson resources, designed to include elements of collaborative learning and has a peer assessment plenary at the end

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

A set of biology objectives for a number of the OCR entry level science modules. These are designed as a pupil assessment sheet to be stuck in at the start of a module and reviewed half way and at the end of a topic. There is also a small self assessment section where they can record there test result and do a what went well and how they can improve.

A basic look at the history of brain science and why we study the brain - pupils information gather about brain scanning techniques and then feedback which one they think is the best method for learning how the brain works. All resources needed are included in the powerpoint

All resources needed to teach some KS3 menstrual cycle lessons - very simple lessons - resources included in the powerpoints - extension work indicated with a purple star

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 male reproductive system lesson with a marketplace style activity to find the function of the parts and then a labelling the system worksheet - all resources included in the powerpoint

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
