cut out the arrows attached to the worksheets and the arrows are different sizes each pupil can have a different stage of the batcycle in motion there mission is to, put the force arrows on and describe whether the batcycle forces are balanced or unbalanced in the box that says my ideas, can be easily differentiated by giving less able students the picture of a stopped batcycle and the more able ones a cycle that is accelerating

A worksheet and activity that uses coloured playballs to help pupils visualise balanced equations, they use the attached key to build the reactions on the worksheet and balance them

To get the pupils to learn atomic structure we made models of atoms using sweets if they make them on paper with clean hands they can eat them afterwards. We used white and milk chocolate buttons as the protons and neutrons and martians as the electrons with strawberry bootlaces to show the outer elcetron shells, the pupils understood the concept so well we went on to building atoms of oxygen and berylium as well to discuss how the shells fill up, a picture of their models is included and then we evaluated their models and the effectiveness of the model using the sheet attached

part of a module i'm developing on Alchemy, there is more of this activity to come i'm developing a questions sheet to go with this activity.

I designed this as a interview lesson but it works as part of the OCR twenty first century science module on life on earth as well. you start with the pictures of a real family tree and look for similarities before moving on to look at darwins finches and his work and the development of phylogenetic trees. It's a good springboard into a discussion about how DNA evidence supports the theory of evolution and can then extend into darwins work, my extension sheet included has an excerpt from the origin of the species describing the finches

requires populations of jelly babies to carry out. give the pupils an island outline and a population of jelly babies they then use half the cards at the front of the actvity to affect their population and answer questions on what happens to their populations.

an activity on the use of homeopathy and the way medicines are tested good for edexcel 360 science

I have used the level 3 - 5 science APP statements to make an Xbox achievment assessment for the pupils called science live.

Crime scene projects designed by me that can be easily adapted for any school. Could be used for additional science/BTEC forensics. There are background stories for them that i will happily share with anyone interested in them.
