I have been teaching science for over 30 years. although Biology is my specialism I have lots of experience of teaching Physics and Chemistry to GCSE. I am particularly interested in practical work and believe that all science teachers should be able to teach good practicals and give practical demos.

Worksheet with information and questions about the pH scale. Has extension question. Requires some prior knowledge as well as comprehension of the worksheet. Ideal as a homework. Just modified it to make it more accessible after my Year 7s completed it for homework. Good to see if they are reading the information properly!

Made for AQA Core Science. Uses of oil. Aim is for students to sort the cards, discuss and then answer an exam-style long answer question. Students then peer-marked their answers. There is a mark-scheme on the power point. The video link on the power point is from the BP education website and you have to log in to access it but it is free.

KS3 Science - Light. Fun demonstrations and resources

(1)
Want to put a bit more fun into teaching the light topic? These ideas are not "new" but are collected together here with some background information. This will be useful for those new to teaching or those not familiar with teaching Physics. There are 3 demonstrations, some background information on refraction and a homework idea. All illustrations are my own photos or I have permission to use them.

Easy to view root hairs, xylem and stomata from the easy to grow cress! Ditch celery and other favourites - this works very well. Please go to the BlogSpot on the resource 'Using Cress seedlings....... as it has photos you can use.

Life Support Assessment Sheet

This was written as a leveled assessment task for low ability Year 8's. The students enjoyed doing the tasks on the sheet and as they wanted to do it they read the tasks! It could be adapted for higher ability - it goes to level 6 anyway.

GCSE required practical. Resource to measure the population size of a common species -indoors!

(1)
Measuring the population size of a common species in a habitat is a required practical for GCSE. Personally i love fieldwork, but we will all be in a situation when we have planned to teach this, but it is raining outside! Also there is always that one class that you really do not trust. This activity will help you still do that lesson, but indoors. It is not a computer simulation but involves real ecological techniques.

Modelling the action of white blood cells

(1)
Innovative and fun way for students to show their knowledge of antigens, antibodies and phagocytosis. Students use i-pads to make a film. More description of activity and a short video of one of the results are in the blog. Was a great success!
Hooke's Law Investigation

Hooke's Law Investigation

(0)
This is a set of questions to help students write up a practical investigation into Hooke's Law. With the new GCSE science students will get asked practical work questions in their exam. This worked very well with my middle set Year 9. I gave them the added incentive of awarding them BTEC -style grades Pass, Merit and Distinction for the amount/quality of work. It allowed them to work at their own pace.
