I have been teaching Science for 12 years now and the last 11 have been in British International Schools in Mexico and Spain. I have been an IB Diploma examiner for the last 9 years.
My specialism is Biology but I currently teach Biology up to IGCSE and KS3 Science. Most of my resources are EAL/ESL focussed as the majority of my pupils do not have English as a mother tongue. I am selling resources for KS3 Science and IGCSE Biology. I continue to upload many resources for free.

This revision guide is 91 pages long. It is composed of closed questions that cover every point of the 2015 0654 syllabus for all three sciences. Pupils complete the revision guide by answering all the questions which gives them a summary of the whole course in one book. This is an essential revision tool and really helps pupils to structure their revision time and should improve their grades. This is the version for 2015 exams in June and November. 2016 version to follow.
The price of this resource is set high because you can make as many copies as you like for the pupils in your classes. This is considerably cheaper than buying the required number of copies of any revision guide book.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ANSWERS/SOLUTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED.
In this bundle you can buy both the Combined and Coordinated revision guides for Cambridge IGCSE Science. These revision guides are for all exams in 2016-2018. They have closed questions to cover all syllabus points as part of revision.
These are posters you can use to make a WAGOLL (What a Good One Looks Like) display for lab reports. I got pupils to choose their best examples and put them on the board along with an explanantion about why they were good.
A cover sheet for pupil assessments for AF2. It includes space for teacher comments, a level and pupils write their own improvements. VERY useful. I modified a resource I found on TES named something like APP I can checklist but I cant find it now. Thank you to the person who did that and contact me if you see this.
Here you have everything for a revision lesson on Chemical testing. The powerpoint includes starter and plenary and explains the class activities. There are two card sort worksheets for pupils to complete to produce a summary of chemical tests.
This resource is made for Cambridge IGCSE Syllabuses and includes testing from Chemistry and Biology units.
There is a reference to past paper questions but I cannot upload these due to copyright. Exams that you can take questions from are: 2012 Summer Paper 1, Winter 2013 Paper 63, Winter 09 Paper 6, Winter 2010 Paper 61, Winter 2013 Paper 61,
This is a quiz with questions that can be used to check pupils understanding of the Elements and Periodic Table topic. They can be used one at a time as Hinge Point Questions during the lesson or at the end of topic to diagnose as a class areas that should be revised in more depth. Each question is designed to probe a specific common misunderstanding/misconception.
Here you have my planning document for a KS3 Acids and Alkalis Unit. The cover page is a unit outline includes objectives for skills and content, cross curricular, language, ICT, differentiation, collaborative and independent learning. The following pages are lesson outlines with objectives, suggested activities including experiments and homework. They also include ideas for assessment opportunities. Please note worksheets are not included.
This is a transition document as I have included the new National Curriculum objectives but assessment is still outlined using the APP criteria.

This is a set of posters with vocabulary useful in all science topics. There are names of equipment and classroom furniture as well as units of measurement. I have these up in my lab as most of my pupils are EAL.
This is a quiz with questions that can be used to check pupils understanding of the Metals topic at Key Stage 3. The concepts included in this quiz are
- Periodic table
- Properties of metals and non metals
- Alkali metals
- Reactions of metals
- Elements/mixtures/compounds
These questions can be used one at a time as Hinge Point Questions during the lesson or at the end of topic to diagnose as a class areas that should be revised in more depth. Each question is designed to probe a specific common misunderstanding/misconception.
Pupils complete the activity from the upd8 website. They then answer questions individually on the worksheet. There is a level ladder and the questions increase in difficulty.
Pupils do the upd8 activity to learn about the differences between diamond (an element) and moissanite (a compound). I got them to make models of diamond and moissanite atoms with cocktail sticks and plasticine. They evaluated the models for AF1, the worksheet has questions for AF2.
I put these cover sheets on pupils' lab reports when they hand them in and tick the statements they achieve. There is space to put the level they get and a teacher comment as well as improvements for the next piece of work. VERY useful please download.
