Used as a homework to revise key words for solids, liquids and gases and separation techniques.

Power point which explains how chlorophyll pigments can be separated using chromatography. This is a basic power point that can be improved with additional details of how to do the chromatography.

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!

I made this for tutorial time as it is a topical subject and it invites a discussion as to whetehr it is worth spending money on space exploration.

Reviews the equations needed. Makes students define the units. At least one question on each equation - some foundation and some higher level.

For Edexcel A level context -led approach. Suitable for concept -led? Could be suitable for some parts of other A level boards? My Yr 13s found the 'do cars make us fat ?' interesting.

This covers use of respirometers and the advantages and disadvantages of different types. Has questions as well as information. For Salter-Nuffield Edexcel (context approach).

A science Christmas quiz based around the plants and animals we associate with Christmas. Suitable for higher end KS2 and KS3 as an end of term activity. It looks at adaptations, classification and even science methodology so it reviews topics and has a bit of end of term Christmas fun.

For Nuffield-Salters Edxcel A level Biology Topic 6. Power point has questions on it to help students review their work.\nCovers the symptoms and progression of the disease.

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.

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.

This power-point contains information and questions to revise about two-thirds of topic 4. It follows the checklist for Topic 4 and is unfinished. I will try to get it finished and put the rest of it up - but it should be useful for most of topic 4 if anyone wishes to try it

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.

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.

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.

I did this for my Applied Science BTEC group to help them review their work on Trends in the Periodic Table. It would work for AS Chemistry too?

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!

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.

Made for Chemistry AQA GCSE 4.1 1.1 Atoms, elements and compounds as a homework/revision/ activity in class. Could be used at KS3.

Assesses working scientifically and uses levels. Worked well with my bottom set Year 8 group and motivated them to do well ( they like practical work).
