This is a simple worksheet that I gave to my Year 7s to help them to plan a PowerPoint. They have to complete with the audience, purpose and write what content to include on each slide.

This is a plan of approximately 20 lessons to serve as an introduction to the lab and how to write Scientific reports for year 7, it incorporates 7G. I chose the theme of water, and have included practicals, demonstrations, videos, homeworks and APP links. Some worksheets etc. are not uploaded here but can be sourced through TES, or email me and I can send them to you. I would appreciate comments as I have yet to teach this. The powerpoint for the unit will be uploaded when completed.

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 is a link to a video from the once upon a time...life series. It is old but explains everything in an accessable way representing the WBCs as the bodies' police force.

This is a colouring and labelling activity where pupils have to label a life line which is to scale adding key vocabulary (childhood, adolescence, fertilisation etc.). It is differentiated into three different levels.

This is an activity where pupils cut out sugars, phosphates and bases and stick them together to make the structure of DNA and RNA. It can be used to illustrate nucleotide structure as well at the DNA/RNA Molecule.

This powerpoint has signs with instructions to be displayed at 8 different stations in a carousel of experiments. The pupils have to do a simple experiment or observe what they see and decide if it is a physical or chemical change. In the notes section of the slide there is an equipment list for the station.

Here is a simple sheet with the word equations of all formulas required for the 2015 and 2016 Coordinated Sciences IGCSE exams.

In this lesson In this lesson, students will learn about the basics of genetics and inheritance. I will teach about the structure of DNA, what is, and why it is important for living organisms. A lesson introducing the genetics topic at post 16 level. It recaps basic information. The resource includes: Lesson video Lesson checklist Lesson worksheet Video to self-check the worksheet This is the first in a series of 20 lessons I have created. They are based around IB Biology Topic 3, but are appropriate for other syllabuses.

This is a resource that I made for my GCSE pupils to allow me to grade their lab reports on a 1 to 9 scale. It shows features of all parts of a lab report from 1 to 9 (aim, prediction, variables, diagram, method, results table and analysis, conclusion, evaluation. This scale is not specific to any exam board; I made it roughly based on old coursework and APP criteria. This should make marking quicker as it literally includes one sentence per grade.
