This graph drawing resource functions as both a checklist and marking framework for students. At the start of my graph drawing activity, I hand students a copy of the marking framework and remind the students how to draw a scientific graph. Students then use the checklist as they draw their graphs to ensure they have included everything they need for full marks. Students then either hand in their graphs or swap graphs with their peers and the marking framework is used to give students a grade for their graphs.

This creative, fun and easy-to-use resource introduces risks and hazards in the science laboratory. It introduces ten of the most common hazard symbols and their meanings and encourages students to test their knowledge using a fun ‘pictionary’ plenary activity, where students take it in turn to draw a hazard symbol whilst their peers have to race to correctly name the symbol being drawn.
